Free Apple TV + when you buy certain new apple products, 12 months free then e4.99 a month there after with easy cancellation, not a huge library but sure it’s free ( just in case anyone was interested)

Yep got this on my new company iPhone SE 2/2020 recently. Works perfectly.

For all Mankind is well worth checking out on it ðŸ˜Š

Where's the bargain?

Hardly free when you have to spend a lot of money to get it.

I think it's more that people may not be aware of it if they've bought a phone recently in fairness.

A lot may have work phones like myself where its offered. I stumbled across it in the settings app but wouldn't have known about it either otherwise

For anyone who gets this and are wondering what to watch, Ted Lasso and Mystic Quest are both excellent comedies and For All Mankind is a good drama/sci fi/alt reality show.

Yes true but ppl like me who did purchase sure it’s an extra ( I sold a one plus 7 pro for just under e300 ,and bought a 12 pro max silver sealed for e920 which included a glass protector and a snazzy case so reckon I got a bargain , so don’t mind spending a bit on a quality product, never thought I would this time last year but sure could be dead tomorrow’)

Signed up in December when I got a new iPhone can easily say I haven’t watched a thing on it. They are lighting years away from the content offered on Netflix, prime video or Disney plus. Free is free I guess but remember it auto renews after a year and you can’t cancel in advance or you lose the access for the remainder of the free trial so a heads up!

Easy to unsubscribe via your AppStore iPhone app but difficult to remember unless you set a reminder like I had to as well!

Yeah I checked it out didn’t want to get into that recurring crap that Microsoft tries ref their stuff

Still not a massive selection. I've managed to watch the entire catalogue by subscribing to three separate months over a 10 month period. I think the quality of the small catalogue is very good. I enjoyed almost everything. Its all in 4k HDR too.

ted1 · 17-05-2021 12:33am

Such a poor catalog. Really not worth paying for

nocoverart · 17-05-2021 12:39am

Bought a new iPad yesterday and got this, also 3 months of Arcade.

Grab All Association · 17-05-2021 12:55am

Signed up when I bought a new MacBook Pro last September. Haven’t watched it in a very long time

Ted lasso - season 2 is coming soon,
‘The Banker’ with Samuel Jackson is good movie too.

Agreed but surely twill get bigger?

FortuneChip · 17-05-2021 10:01am

I've picked up a sub thanks to a new iPhone.

It's a very limited catalog, but the quality on offer is pretty good.
Mythic Quest & Ted Lasso are both strong, easy to watch comedies.

I've just completed the first season of For All Mankind and found it fantastic.

Haven't watched The Morning Show or Mosquito Coast yet, but I'm sure I'll give the latter a try as I'd be a fan of Justin Theroux, and the trailer looked good.

I haven't checked out any of the movies (such as Cherry) yet either.

I have Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and AppleTV+

While the catalogue of shows on AppleTV+ is much smaller, I find the quality of the shows on it to be much higher then the other services. I think over the past 6 months, we have actually watched it more then Prime Video and about the same as Netflix and Disney+, despite their much bigger catalogue.

I agree & just to add to your point, all of the content is original & made for Apple TV. They had expected a much bigger content by now but Covid-19 hit production on a lot of its new content.

Are all channels and movies included free on Apple TV+ With this offer,went to look at one and there’s a charge on it?
Was under the impression that once subscribed to the 12 months free that was it ; thank you.

It's only the Apple TV+ originals films and TV shows that are 'free'. Apple still do normal rentals/purchases for movies/tv box sets and these are not 'free'.

I disagree with this completely. Got Apple + free with the Mac and didn’t watch it for 3+ months thinking the same.

But now. Will renew without a second thought. For all mankind, Servant, defending Jacob, Ted Lasso, Mythic quest, The morning show, Calls and even See I enjoyed. Some like home before dark, truth be told, amazing stories ect were meh but I was surprised by the quality overall

The majority of the films like wolfwalkers, beastie boys story, Palmer, Cherry were all well above par too.

Netflix has become a graveyard over the last year or two for me personally outside of Rick and Morty, Final Space, Castlevania, Cobra Kai and Better Call Saul. Understandable with the pandemic I suppose but even so 99% of the content on it I’ve either seen or just don’t buy into. Like if you want older series like Friends, Trailer Park boys, or true crime/serial killer docs then you’re set, but film wise there’s been little to get excited about. Series wise, yeah Brooklyn 99 etc are there but I think the major selling point for Apple TV is the fact it’s new exclusive content and series

Will keep both but Apple TV+ has been a massive surprise for me. Won’t be renewing Disney Plus because I can’t justify keeping three streaming services and it loses out to Apple TV for me personally.

Also. For All Mankind. Like seriously. I love this show. Can’t wait for season 3. It’s a slow burner and not for everyone, but damn I’ve loved every bit of it. Also thought I’d absolutely hate no having content dumped as full seasons but I actually think it added to the experience as mental as that sounds. A bit like the excitement waiting for new episodes of Better Call Saul to drop.

Only Apple TV+ originals and films. The iTunes Store for films is still separate but every now and then a 99c rental or purchase pops up that’s worth getting. Like Predator. It’s easily the best version I’ve seen. 4K HDR and avoids all the pitfalls the complete pile of dogsh*t Blu-ray versions fell into. Absolutely Glorious.

The other channels are not included but easy enough to use the 7 day trails to watch something you want that’s on em then cancel. Tom Delonges Alien thingy on National Geographic and Mr.Mercedes on Starz come to mind.

It’s worth being free which is what this is about. I won’t renew unless they release foundation by July, when my time is up.

Edit.

But I did enjoy a few shows. Ted Lasso was good and is renewing July.
