Apple has been running a promotion for some time now that gives buyers of a new Apple device - iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Mac - access to Apple TV+ for free for a year. This promotion expires on June 30th and will be replaced by a new one. This means that from July 1st, the free trial period will be reduced to three months and also only applies to qualified new device purchases.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple has frequently offered promotions or credits for users to stay subscribed to the still relatively new service. Launched in 2019, Apple TV+ continues to evolve into a mainstream streaming service, but it still has a ways to go before it can catch up with Netflix and others. Apple offers original shows like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and See on the platform. The new three-month trial period will go into effect on July 1, so customers looking to maximize their free Apple TV+ subscription should purchase their product before the start of next month. Devices purchased before then will still be eligible for a one-year trial period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple TV+: The content offering is growing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Offering a generous one-year free trial period for Apple TV+ was an important part of Apple's strategy to attract long-term subscribers by providing unrestricted access to all of the streaming service's content. Apple TV+ launched with a small amount of content compared to other competing services, so it was crucial for Apple to build goodwill and interest in the series. service<\/a> without expecting immediate returns. The company now seems to believe that its content offering has grown sufficiently that a shorter testing phase will suffice in the future. The new expansion comes ahead of a busy fall season for Apple TV+, which will see several hit series, such as "Ted Lasso" and "The Morning Show," receive their second seasons.
