Apple TV+ Launch Date Set For November With Lowest Cost Of Any Major Streaming Service
Apple has been leading up to their own streaming subscription service for a long time now. It’s been nearly two years since Apple started hiring big names likeSteven Soderbergh, Reese Witherspoon, Steven Spielberg, and more to create original programming for what they hope will be a major competitor for Netflix, Hulu and the forthcoming Disney+ and HBO Max streaming services, not to mention the countless other subscriptions coming down the road. Afterformally announcing the servicecalledApple TV+earlier this year, we finally know when it will launch and how much it will cost.
During Apple’s new iPhone announcement today, the technology giant revealed the Apple TV+ launch date isNovember 1. And contrary to early reports, the service will only cost $4.99 per month. That makes it the cheapest major streaming subscription service on the market. On top of that, if you buy a new iPhone, iPad or laptop from Apple in the future, you’ll get an entire year of Apple TV+ for free.
Apple TV+ will launch globally in over 150 countries, but it won’t come in blazing hot out of the gate with tons of original content. When the service launches this fall, it will come with a small selection of shows, but will expand in the coming months with new content arriving more frequently as time goes on.
The good news is if you don’t want to spend money to start Apple TV+ right away, we’ve previously heard there will be a free trial that you can test out to see if you like what they have to offer. No details have been revealed about that yet, so stay tuned
