I was wondering about that. So if you canceled it. You can’t get the extended free trial then? 🤷🏼♂️
Got a tip for us?

Yea and speaking of AM through carriers, how are the handling this with One? Are they going to deduct the AM price from the bundle if you have it though another service like Verizon Wireless?
That's because it's a new service coming out of nowhere and there's a lot of anti-Apple resentment from the Android segment of the market. Also a lot of confusion that you need to own an Apple TV or Apple hardware to watch TV+.
The shows themselves that I listed would be on the level of a top HBO buzzworthy show if not for the lack of general adoption of TV+ and Apple apathy.
But, make no mistake, Apple is gaining TV+ devotees with each of these cult classic shows. Cult classic series eventually become mainstream series over a passage of time. Mark my words, if Apple continues maintaining quality and keeps putting out content, TV+ will find strong adoption and buzz will come.
Figures, I cancelled it this morning so I wouldnt get charged November 1st lol. And now this changes 
I don't know if they are gaining devotees or not, but my original statement stands. If they want this to succeed, they need a killer show.
Concur, but most certainly had already been produced pre-covid shut downs.
What are you talking about? Snoopy in Space was released in November 2019.
Interesting. Seems like it would be beneficial to give 3 month free trial to anyone who signs up right now as well to get them hooked. Purchase or not.
People that had the year free trial I'm sure have already made their decision whether to keep it or not. But I guess they are probably trying to keep those looking to leave around with upcoming new content that isn't out yet.

Ted Lasso, my friend. It has quickly taken a place in my favorite shows of all time.
This is what I can’t wait for..

BOB best mini series ever!
Nope. Why would you want to recover a service you disliked so much?
I am going to Apple One this anyway.
But still. cool move.
Oh and Tehran is super good. Kinda like the show called Homeland.

Didn't necessarily dislike but just not worth actually paying individually. Maybe something I liked could have appeared in three months. We are going to take One Premier anyhow depending on how they are handling people with AM through another service.
That MacRumors article a few days ago helping everyone cancel their Apple TV+ trial subscriptions has kinda backfired on those who followed it.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Remember the Woody Allen quote?
"There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.”
Happy with this. I activated my 12 months on 27th January, despite buying my 11 last October, so will just make the cut-off period.
I've only watched Central Park and Tehran (which is ongoing), but enjoyed them both so far.
As my extension will take me to end of April next year, there's time for Apple to entice me with another series. If it runs past the end of April, I might even pay the £5/month to get to the end. Unlikely, but who knows.

This kinda depressed me.
I'm going to rewatch Ted Lasso to cheer myself up!
It's from Annie Hall... one of the few comedies to win an Academy Award for Best Picture, and a great movie.
You aren’t alone back in August I thought I was canceling the renewal but ended up canceling the service. They refused to allow me to finish my free trial and I refuse to be the only person the the US who pays for the service. I explained that I had in fact bought three devices this year they didn’t budge.
I'm right there with you. Band of Brothers, and to a lesser extent The Pacific are my two absolute favorite shows I've ever seen on HBO. Generation Kill is a lower third, and then Sopranos. But, I am so hyped for a new entry in this series/genre. I am more hyped for that than Foundation, by a long shot.This is what I can’t wait for..

Oooooh, you are in for a treat. There are so many outstanding shows on TV+ waiting to be discovered. Little America is a deep cut that is outstanding. Not enough buzz for that one. If you enjoy Tehran, I recommend Defending Jacob, also a tense thriller.
Ain't that the truth. The only shows that I've found watchable are Ted Lasso and Tehran (based on the first episode: we'll see how it holds up).
