In my case, it still says it changes to a paid subscription on 11.12.2020 - which is exactly one year after I activated the free trial that came with the tv 4K. Germany, if that matters.
Germany. Also, it says that if I cancel now, i’ll be able to use the subscription until november 2021, unlike the first free trial (which expired right away if you cancelled it).
Mine expires few days later but no luck yet..and I’m in Canada
So I guess it’s random because you’re both in Germany

it’s not here in Ireland yet, either. There’s no indication that Apple has rolled this out yet. I think it’s a report of what they intend to do.
Ah! This is a good point: I’ll keep an eye on mine. Maybe it will extend at the time I should cancel it, Dec 3rd for meThey should check their bank statements
Anyway mine , for the renewal, is checked on 1 month of extension not one year. In case I will loose 5 $...
Suggest to check it, just in case. BTW the news was reported by a different source too

Seems like it's happening:
Apple Sending Emails Letting Apple TV+ Subscribers Know About Extended Trial Access
Apple this evening began sending out emails to Apple TV+ subscribers who have a trial subscription to let them know about a planned three month trial...

Same, mine also says it is expiring still. I will cancel it before that time then if it doesn‘t get extended.
That part of it says you find some content that is available on Netflix appealing. It doesn't necessarily say anything one way or another about any other service.
They extended BECAUSE they were getting cancellations is my guess.
update: I just got a notification that says I get apple tv for free until February... and I thought "well, that one free year thing was too good to be true..." then I checked and it says the subscription will renew on February 22, 2022.
edit: to add to the confusion, i just got the email from apple saying they’re prolonging my free year until february 2021.

I received an email yesterday that my free subscription has been extended until 11.02.2021 - which is three months more than the initial free year. The subscription page in iCloud settings does reflect that.
UPDATE : Got charged for the renewal of 4.99, called APPLE and was told it’s a glitch and they need 72 hours to investigate
UPDATE : Got the charge reversed (waiting to show on my card), reinstated free service until Feb2021, 24 hours later no service , called Apple again and fixed , will know for sure tomorrow
