Apple surprised its fans in September when it announced that anyone who buy an iPhone , iPad , iPod tactual sensation , Apple TV , or MacBook from September 10 onward ( for a limited time ) would get a innocent year of Apple TV+ . But Apple says the offering is only good for the next three months . The company has also been a little fleck cagey about how to activate this free thing . Apple TV+ launches today , so we ’re here to realise things up .

Long story short , to take your year - foresightful Apple TV+ subscription , all you have to do is sign into Apple TV+ . That means you ’ll first have to download the app on a equipment running iOS , iPadOS , macOS , or tvOS . Then , ensure you ’re signed in with the Apple ID associated with the new machine , and launch the app . You should be presented with the offer right away . Just tap “ Enjoy 1 Year innocent . ” You might have to put your Apple ID password in again , but after that , you’re able to binge - watch that Reese Witherspoon show all you want for one year .

There are a couple of caveats here . First , if you do n’t buy an applicable young Apple gadget , you may only get a seven - daylight test of TV+ For those of you who do qualify for the free year , because Apple will already have your payment entropy , youwill start paying$5 a month for Apple TV+ as before long as your one - class test is up . If you cancel your trial before the year is up , your access will be prune off directly , and you ca n’t restart it . ( you may strike down the subscription in the app ’s options at any time . ) And frankly , if you hate that Reese Witherspoon show and terminate up make up $ 5 because you forgot to cancel Apple TV+ the mean solar day that your visitation conk , you ’re most likely not going to get a refund . So set a calendar reminder for October 31 , 2020 ( or one yr minus a daylight from whenever you aerate your innocent year ) .
