Apple TV+

Apple’s new TV service just went live. A few episodes (seems like the first 3) of some of the shows now available.

Cost’s only €4.99 a month. If you bought an iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac or Apple TV anytime after the keynote (September 10th) you’re eligible to a free year of the service.

Also, anybody with a Apple Music student account gets free access to the service.

It seems to be on a few devices from companies other than Apple like Samsung TV’s, Roku boxes and Amazon’s fire lineup.

Anybody planning on signing up? I get free access with my Apple Music student account so I’ll be streaming though a Roku. There’s already about 5 shows I’m interested in and a movie or two so I’ll give it a shot. Really good value and the shows seem to have decent production value behind them. It’ll be interesting seeing how it takes off.

Family sharing is supposed to work, that's the way apple want it. However, family sharing is only available to paid/free 1-year accounts. If you're using a student apple music sub then you only get a single account to access Apple TV+.

I think the way Apple wants people to do it is through family sharing? (But while you could share an Apple TV or a Mac amongst the different family accounts, I don’t think the same is true for an iPhone or an iPad)

I have tried this. Family Sharing in my iPhone settings shows TV channels as off, but when I tap into it just opens the TV app. No option to turn it on.

Can you set up separate user profiles for ATV+? Apple have a lot of confusing support documents that don't seem to be able to answer this simple question or guide you through how to do it.

I’m only getting offer of free 7 day trial.

That’s the standard trial period. You get free access for 1 year if you’ve bought an iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac or Apple TV after Sep 10th 2019.

If you’ve an Apple Music student account you also get free access.

Otherwise it’s a 7 day trial and then €4.99 a month.

Picked up an Apple Watch series 5 at the airport this week, disappointed that I didn’t get a year of Apple TV+ with it.

Anybody who has it reckon it’s worth €5 a month?

No, the price is laughable. Only Apple could get away with it. But as it stands it's free to most users. Everyone else isn't missing much.

It really depends on personal taste and what you are looking for in a streaming service (for exemple, if you are looking for movies you are out of luck).

I think the first episodes of some of the shows are free without a subscription and there is a 7 days trial? Given the small amount of content available that should give a decent taster.

No, they're going to release a new episode every week after the initial 3 episode launch.

I suppose the thinking is that if they released them all at once, people would binge watch on the free week and then cancel.

Well that’s what I wanted to do lol. Now they have me the feckers

I got an old iPhone from work(SE) that was sitting in the office for a couple of years but had never been taken out of the box.

I set it up initially under my iTunes account as I had to use it for a day or so before it could be unlocked(it was locked to Vodafone under business contract)

Anyway to my surprise yesterday, I got a pop up on my iPad to say that I had a free 12 month trial as I had purchased a new iPhone recently.
I didn’t think that booting up and setting up an old iPhone for the first time would qualify as a “new purchases” but it was a nice surprise.

I remember years ago with an LG G4 getting 100GB of Google Drive free with it and all I ever had to do was factory reset it and set it up again to keep it on. Worked for about 5 years. I'd say these things are just automatic do fleece them when you can.

Right now Apple are focusing on original content only, there’s no details on if they’ll eventually offer a back catalog, maybe they’ll buy a company and use that to fill in the gaps. Right now they seem to be the only one offering purely original stuff.

Regarding availability, you can watch Apple TV+ on iPhone/iPod/iPad, Mac, Apple TV. It’s also available on the web at tv.apple.com.

App is on Amazon fire sticks and Roku as well. The only smart tv that has the app at the moment is the Samsung one, looks like Sony is about to release an app very soon.

Really annoying LG tv’s don’t have the app or plans to add it yet. Seems one of the biggest manufacturers and annoying not having it.

I can see the app eventually making its way to android, if they have Apple Music there and there’s already a lot of devices supporting the tv app it seems like only a matter of time. FireTV is a fork on Android anyway so most of the work is probably already done.

Watched all the available episodes of the Morning Show, really enjoyed it. Think I’ll give See a watch next, that and For All Mankind are the only other two I was mainly looking forward to.

Nice one, never thought of that. That'll work on the Shield.

Eventually maybe but I wouldn't hold my breath. Apple have been trying to do deal with content providers for a streaming bundle for years without success. The writing is on the wall for licensed catalogues anyway. The studios have been turning the screws on Netflix for a while now.

I also think limiting it to its own content is a deliberate strategy from Apple so they they can keep things simple and roll out the exact same thing in every market.

I’ve a Shield and I’m guessing we’ll never see an app for that. Tried install an AirPlay receiver too and it didn’t work.

Only an episode in so far but will definitely watch more.

I’m liking the morning show so far. Love to know where the rumour of Apple TV+ being family friendly came from. Within the first minute someone said f*ck and within 20 minutes the line “I didn’t jizz into a flower in front of anyone” made me lol. Whilst you don’t need profanity to make a good show it just shows you can never really believe the rumours.
