There is no shortage of streaming services out there, from Disney+ to Hulu, but one of the best streamers for original TV shows and movies right now is Apple TV+. Even better: if you’re not already signed-up for the service, there’s now a way to get Apple TV+ for free.
Usually priced at $6.99 per month, Apple offers multiple ways to watch for free. The first way is to simply sign up for Apple TV+’s standard free trial offer. You can get Apple TV+ for free for seven days before you make the decision whether to stick to the service or not. Cancel it before the trial is over and you won’t be charged.
However, if you like the original programming — such as The Morning Show, Severance, Long Way Up, For All Mankind, Ted Lasso, Silo, Bad Sisters and more — and live sports from Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer, then just keep watching and enjoy the service.
Apple TV’s $6.99 pricing is comparable to Hulu’s monthly pricing, and cheaper than Netflix, and gets you live TV streaming in addition to on-demand content. Don’t want to pay for Apple TV+? Here are other ways to get the streaming service for free — no promo code required.
How to Get Apple TV+ for Free: Best Deals, Offers
In addition to using the 7-day free trial to Apple TV+, you can also watch Apple TV+ for free if you sign up for Apple One’s one-month free trial. This is the tech company’s subscription bundle that offers a number of services — including Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, Apple Fitness+, and iCloud+ — for one discounted price. It’s one of the best ways to get music, movies and TV shows, video games, news, and more from Apple at a lower rate than if you were to subscribe to each service individually.
Another way you can enjoy Apple TV+ for free is with the purchase of an eligible Apple device. If you buy a new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Mac at an Apple Store or Apple authorized retailer like Best Buy or Target, you can enjoy Apple TV+ for three months without paying a single penny for it. That’s 90 days of free streaming. Click to check eligibility.
Best Buy Apple TV+ Free Trial
Right now, Best Buy has a new deal that sees the retailer giving away three months of Apple TV+ for free. You don’t even have to buy anything to claim this deal. Add Apple TV+ to your cart and check out as usual. And that’s it. Just cancel it after 90 days (unless you want to keep watching) with no strings attached. See full details here.
Apple TV+ Student Discount
If you’re a student, you can also claim an Apple TV+ deal with a discounted subscription to Apple TV+ and Apple Music together for just $5.99 per month. This is way cheaper than if you were to subscribe to each service individually. Apple bundles the two services together at a discount for college students (a 65% discount to be exact). You have to enroll and get verified via UNiDAYS to qualify. In addition, there’s also a one-month free trial with this student subscription plan. See full details and eligibility here.
And finally, T-Mobile offers free Apple TV+ for its new and existing customers. Depending on your plan with the cellular carrier, you can get up to six months of the streaming service for free. Afterwards, you’d have to cancel it or pay $6.99 per month to keep watching Apple Originals.
With so many different ways to watch Apple TV+ for free, the only thing you have to decide now is what to watch first.
