Tag: Apple TV Plus
Apple TV Plus, stylized as Apple TV+, is a subscription streaming service that offers access to a variety of popular shows and movies. Unlike Netflix and many other streaming services, Apple TV Plus is entirely populated with Apple Originals. In other words, shows and movies that are produced and distributed by Apple. Although this results in a more limited catalog when compared to other streaming services, it is considered to be a library full of high quality content.
Apple TV Plus FAQs
How much is Apple TV Plus?
Apple TV Plus costs $6.99 per month. As this is the price for an ad-free subscription, there’s no option to upgrade to a more expensive plan. However, there are options to save on the cost. For example, the annual Apple TV Plus plan costs $69.99, resulting in a saving of around $14 over the course of a full year.
Some homes may also find they are eligible for a free subscription if they’ve recently purchased a new Apple device. Exactly how long they will get for free depends on the device and when it was purchased.
When did Apple TV Plus launch?
Apple TV Plus first launched in November 2019 in the United States. This was somewhat of a limited launch considering the catalog of content at the time was fairly limited. However, the library has slowly been expanding over time and continues to see new titles added regularly.
Which devices is Apple TV Plus available on?
Apple TV Plus is available on nearly all of Apple’s hardware devices. This means the service can be easily accessed on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Apple TV.

What’s the difference between Apple TV+ and Apple TV?
Apple TV Plus is a subscription-based streaming service that consumers have to pay for each month. This makes it very different to Apple TV which is an app that houses everything TV-related. Apple TV Plus is accessed directly within the Apple TV app along with other premium services, the ability to rent or buy movies, and much more.
For reference, there is also the company’s ‘Apple TV’ streaming player, which can add to the confusion. Essentially, the Apple TV app comes preinstalled on the Apple TV player, and the Apple TV app provides access to Apple TV Plus if signed up for a subscription.
