Get A Year of Apple TV+ for Free!

Now, at 5 usd a month you’re solely paying $60 a year for Apple TV+ however you’ll be able to get a full year of it for free. Apple is providing a full year of the service with the acquisition of a new iPhone, Apple TV, Mac, iPad, or iPod touch. Basically, all Apple devices sans the Apple Watch.

If you get a new device, you need to take advantage of the free year offer within 3 months after buying it.

Apple TV+ is accessible online

The streaming service can work inside the Apple TV app on iOS, macOS, and tvOS but you won’t need an Apple device to view it. the company made its Apple Music service accessible on the net. And it’s allowing you to watch programming online by heading to tv.apple.com.

it’ll work with safari, Chrome, and Firefox. This opens the service to a lot of individuals as well as Chromebook and Windows users. that includes the new Microsoft Edge since it’s designed on chromium.

Apple TV+ will embrace original feature films. two movies that are set to be released in the coming months include Hala and the Banker.

Apple TV+ lacks a large back catalog compared to the upcoming Disney+ service. And it actually doesn’t have the anchor hold on cord-cutters like services such as Netflix and Hulu. Still, at $4.99 a month, it’d be worth finding out. Or, if you intend on buying a new Apple device before long, you’re going to get a year free anyway.

Who will Apple contend against for your dollars?

Apple’s forthcoming service would launch at a time when apparently every major media property is putting out its own streaming choice, from DC Universe’s comic-flavored fare to a planned Disney providing, not to mention stalwarts like Netflix.

Meanwhile, NBCUniversal and HBO-owner WarnerMedia are both building their own streaming services.

Clearly, an Apple service with $6 billion worth of premium video will compete with the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and others that stream on-demand, high-quality productions.

Should Apple expand to bundling other digital networks, then Amazon Channels will be its key rival. Apple would also go up against wireless companies such as AT&T’s VRV, a co-op of niche genre streaming services.

A channel-bundling model would even bring Apple in competition with traditional cable.

What’s interesting is that Apple’s dive into original programming comes as other giants are ramping up their own streaming-service ambitions.

Disney will launch a $7-a-month Netflix-like service Nov. 12. Called Disney Plus, the digital service will be a home base for streaming all of Disney’s blockbuster movies, multiple Star Wars and Marvel original series and other programming. Compared with Apple’s nine titles at launch, Disney Plus will have at least 300 movies to stream plus thousands of TV episodes.

Apple may be a gadget giant. Why will it wish to become Netflix?

Apple is taking aim at original video as a result of it could be an important enticement for people to buy a lot of iPhones and different gadgets. you can’t hyperbolize the importance of the iPhone to Apple. The phone, one of the most popular in the world, still accounts for over half its sales and was crucial to Apple’s march to become the first United States company value $1 trillion.

But Apple is on a deadline to double its services revenue to $50 billion before 2021.

Apple quickly established its bona fides in subscriptions businesses with Apple Music. But the content on Apple Music is essentially the same as every other music service. They all have tens of millions of songs. Apple Music has been successful largely because of its presence on the iPhone, already in the pockets of millions of people. It hasn’t been nearly as successful working the other direction, acting as a lure to buy the latest Apple gadget.

Original video from big-name stars and creators you can’t watch anywhere else, however, could be different.

Apple clearly has a hunch it will be
