Apple has again decided to extend the free period of its in-house Netflix competitor. Those who purchased certain Apple products initially got the Apple TV + service for one year – but last year the free year was extended to February 2021 . This could potentially 16 free Apple TV + months dust off.

Actually 5 euros per month Now the action will be continued again. This time Apple sets the deadline at the end of July 2021. This results in an extension of a maximum of nine months if you have taken advantage of the Apple TV + free offer right at the start of the service in the year 2019. The iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV or Mac devices were and are covered by this – if these are purchased, you receive the free phase. Apple TV + actually costs 5 euros a month, but it seems more important for Apple to get the first customers.

Users who would have dropped out of the free version from February and have already paid for Apple TV + should get their money received back – for the months up to July. The same also applies to users of the Apple One subscription package. Users who are entitled to the extension for Apple TV + should be informed by email in the coming weeks, the implementation will then take place automatically.

Significantly more content Apple recently increased its content offering significantly. There are more and more self-produced or purchased cinema productions at the service. Apple is spending many millions of dollars on this. The company apparently accepts that the service earns comparatively little money at the same time due to the many free users.

It is still unclear how many subscribers Apple has already been able to gather. The group offers TV + to all of its users, and the service should spread accordingly quickly. However, many users did not initially understand the offer, which consists almost entirely of their own, exclusive content. Older top series, for example, are missing. (bsc)
