After a long wait last November 1st 2019 Apple has released its first video streaming platform. Apple TV + offers on par with Netflix TV series and streaming movies directly on a platform designed and created by the Cupertino giant. He made his debut during the March presentation 2019 and we have seen in recent months that the platform has only made original productions ready to compete with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. The cost of the subscription has a price of 4, 99 euro per month , but those who bought an iPhone, an iPad, an iPod Touch or an Apple TV box could even afford to have a year of Apple TV + completely free . A year that then became more than a year since until a few days ago the company had decided to extend it until the end of February 2021 and now the news on new free period for another 6 months.

Apple TV +: How does it work?

In this case to be able to have another 6 months of Apple TV + free until in July 2021, no procedure is needed as Apple will update the subscription of users who already have it for free in a completely automatic way, without having to do anything manually. In this case, Apple TV + was given as a free subscription to those who had purchased a new Apple device among those supported by the list for the 2019. Once the promotion was activated, they could see all the TV series proposed by the Cupertino company for an entire year.

The deadline was therefore set for the month of February 2021 but clearly the pandemic of recent months has blocked any type of newly produced TV series and this clearly limited the proposal to users on the platform of new content. For this reason, Apple has rightly decided to postpone the paid renewal for another 6 months for users who have been lucky enough to subscribe for free in 2019. So everyone who has had it so far will continue to see the content on Apple TV + until July 2021 completely free.

Apple TV + : which devices are supported

Apple TV + can be viewed in different ways and especially from different devices. Clearly the simplest and most immediate is clearly the Apple TV app that can be found on all Apple devices from the iPhone to the iPad, Apple TV 4K, Apple TV HD, third generation Apple TV, iPod touch and Mac (on mobile devices iOS operating system is required 12 .3 or later, tvOS is required on Apple TV 01. 3 or later, macOS Catalina is required on Mac).
