Wish they'd just merge with another streamer. TV+ is not something you stay subscribed to. You watch the one or two shows you're interested in and then cancel. I get that they're going for quality over quantity, but it's existed for almost six years now and is still mostly the same catalog, with a bunch of follow-up seasons that aren't as good as the first seasons.
 
I had it for about a year, but the content became so lame that I just gave up on it. I wanted to pare down my subscriptions anyway, so it all worked out. 🤷‍♂️
Lame? Apple TV plus is one of the most premium streamers around. The pretty much taken HBO maxs crown. Their only issue is they are still young and there’s not enough content to keep people long term. But this is similar for most streamers. They his pad their offerings with cheap banal content.
 
And another thing... Apple's spent all this money on TV+ & Apple Fitness+ when they should have been spending their resources more appropriately to fix Siri & have their AI ready to go....
The resources were already there and being used as they are all different departments with their own allocated budgets. One doesn’t eat into the other. Did you think they all had the same budget to work from?
 
I got the discount for 2 months, and plan on switching to annual at that time...hopefully they don't raise the annual rate ($99) before then!
 


Apple is aiming to keep Apple TV+ subscribers from canceling, offering a discounted subscription when customers threaten to stop paying.

If you cancel your Apple TV+ subscription, you may see a pop-up that drops the price of Apple TV+ to $5.99 for the next two months, before the $12.99 per month cost resumes. Apple appears to have started offering the discount in the last few days.

Apple recently increased the price of Apple TV+ to $12.99 per month in the United States, so the offer for a temporarily discounted subscription may be aimed at those who are canceling their subscriptions due to the price hike.

Apple is still charging $99 for an annual subscription, so there is an option to get a lower price when subscribing for a full year. Apple also has not changed the price of its Apple One bundles.

Customers who want to get the $5.99 deal without continuing to pay $12.99 should make sure to cancel after the second $5.99 monthly charge. Opting in to the discounted offer today would mean the $12.99 price would resume in November.

Just fold the tent and give up, Apple - you can’t sustain that sad service on free trials forever.
 
I was offered to use this for free. When browsing around picking a movie, it told me I needed to pay additional fees. So you need to subscribe and oay for every movie to watch.
 
People are really losing their minds over $3 lol
Everything keeps getting more expensive and salaries are not. A three dollars increase per month is 36 dollars per year.

And if four or five companies increase their price by three dollar per month, then it's basically the same cost as one service by itself. If five services each have their own price increase of three dollars per month, over a whole year it's an extra 180 dollars. It all adds up.

And what are people going to cut? Not their food budget because eating is a necessity.
Apple TV+ is just a streaming service, a luxury. You can absolutely live without that.

The same people that will gladly go spend $100+ every weekend at restaurants and bars then complain they’re “too broke” for a small price increase.

If a little nickeling and diming is enough to make you mad, you have a personal money issue.

People need to get their money up. That’s all i’m going to say since I’ve probably already offended half the people on this forum.
 
Apple TV+ is free with my account, yet somehow I still feel like I’m being overcharged.

Honestly I’d rather scroll through YouTube comments than sit through their catalogue. Too politically correct, too thin.
Maybe the fact you apply politics to everything is what ruins it for you. Some people are so critical about movies that they can't just sit back and enjoy it without analyzing every aspect of the production and plot.
 
TV+ is actually amazing. So many good shows, especially the comedies.

Bad timing for Apple to jack up the price and invite controversy just as they are coming into a praiseworthy position with their content library.

You must cheer when you see gas prices go up 20 cents a gallon. Lucky you!

Many (let's call them middle Americans which may not include you) do have limited discretionary spending each month. If they choose to spend that at a restaurant, that's their choice. But imagine if everything we all pay for every month went up $1/mo, every month. $1 you say? Doesn't sound like much until everyone is doing it. And that's where the consumer says no. I won't pay a forced 3% fee at a restaurant for "rising costs". Raise the menu price of the items or absorb the rising costs like everyone else.
