Apple TV+ costs $12.99 a month, still lower than most ad‑free rivals. The service lets you share the subscription with up to five family members, though the primary account holder pays any purchases. A seven‑day free trial is available, and new buyers of Apple hardware can claim up to three months free.
Students can enroll in a $5.99 plan that bundles Apple TV+ with Apple Music and includes a month‑long trial. Apple One bundles the service with Music, Arcade and 50 GB of iCloud for $19.95, saving roughly $12 a month; the family version costs $25.95 and adds 200 GB. Adding Peacock for $2 or an ad‑free Amazon Prime for $5 expands the lineup further. Several credit‑card and carrier partners also provide complimentary access.
Apple also leverages its sports rights—exclusive Formula 1 coverage, MLS matches and MLB Friday Night Baseball—to add value for subscribers. Bundling with Peacock or Amazon gives access to NFL, NBA and other leagues. Keep an eye on seasonal promotions, especially at the start of MLB or MLS seasons, when month‑long trials often appear. Using these options can keep your entertainment budget in check while unlocking the full Apple TV+ catalog.
