Apple TV+ Offers Limited-Time Discount, $2.99 Monthly for 3 Months

[MacRumors]

Apple is offering a limited-time promotion for its streaming service, giving new and eligible returning subscribers access to Apple TV+ for just $2.99 per month for three months.

The deal runs until April 24, 2025, and offers a decent discount from the regular $9.99 monthly subscription price, saving viewers $21 over the promotional period.

The offer comes as Apple TV+ has been boosted in popularity with hit shows like "Severance," which recently surpassed "Ted Lasso" as the platform's most-watched series. Seth Rogen's "The Studio" has also been receiving positive reviews from critics and viewers.

The streaming service also includes sports content with "Friday Night Baseball" and select Major League Soccer matches from MLS Season Pass.

After the three-month promotional period ends, subscriptions will automatically renew at the standard $9.99 monthly rate unless canceled. The deal excludes Apple device customers who are already eligible for a free three-month trial and subscribers who get Apple TV+ through third-party providers or mobile wireless carriers.

Interested readers can check their eligibility through the Apple TV+ website or via the Apple TV app.

Looks like it’s available in the UK if anybody is interested

 

[ManuelStany]

Can confirm it's available in Italy as well. €4.99/month for 3 months.

 

[Thomasasz]

It’s €4.99 in the E.U. I thought that the tariffs apply to the US consumers? 😅

Some US states have a sales tax on top the 2,99.

I’m going to predict that Apple TV+ won’t last too much longer with the tariffs and Apple needing to be way more discliplined. Firesale to Netflix me thinks.

 

[mxsweb]

Not on in Canada, yet.

 

[melapple]

This should be the regular price IMO. how would they make money? By signing up a ton more subscribers

I sort of agree. I think Apple will have to cut bloat and exit businesses that aren't profitable.

Going into the streaming war was a mistake. No way they thought they could compete against Netflix.

$3/m is still expensive, not to mention the regular price of $10/m, considering it offers only 1/100 of the contents compared to Netflix.

Pretty much every time I go to Best Buy I get a free three month trial stapled to my receipt.

 

[mxrider88]

Someone’s desperate.. earning call coming up, there is only so much financial engineering you can do to cover the lack of innovation and stagnation.
Not even the 100+ Billions buyback will help, also because they do buybacks at all time high, a waste of shareholders money.

Apple without Steve Jobs is just a Dell on steroids.

The EU requires the shows to be interoperable. They had to partially reshoot severance to include some characters from Abbott Elementary.

 

[CharlesShaw]

Thanks for this. I'd recently watched everything on my list except Severance S2 when I canceled, so was going to wait for more shows, but $3 is a very fair price.

I mean, I love Ted lasso, silo, shrinking (I’m strangely immune to severance), but I’m puzzled as to why Apple is pouring so much money into the service & why it even exists. Ditto prime video for that matter.

Between us, my partner and I have barely ever paid for Apple TV+. There’s always free month offers on.

And ok admittedly we’ve not bought a fair few new Apple hardware products over the last 18 months with free tv+ 3 months attached to these.

But we never thought ‘wow, I was going to buy something else but that three months of tv+ really sealed the deal!’

Maybe the business is run on the hope that people keep on subscribing to it by accident? I dunno.

 

[Flamingdeathbolts]

Best news this morning! Love me a good deal! Need to start/finish Severance S2 and finish Silo S2

 

[RobNYC]

I guess the deal isn't for returning subscriptions.

Not on in Canada, yet.

Canada offer is $3.99/month CAD for 3 months.

 

[michaelscarn]

I'm a return subscriber and was able to get this deal. It's been about 4 months since we had Apple TV+. I just cancelled Paramount+ so this is a nice surprise!

Agreed. Time to cut the Vision Pro also

That’s an expensive distraction with no path to useful financial viability as a revenue driver, like ATV+.

 

[Scotty_Trees]

They are losing $1 Billion dollars a year on Apple TV, and they are lowering the price? Hmmm, interesting strategy Apple, let's see how it plays out.

 

[vatter69]

Returning subscriber in Germany - works as advertised!

 

[Justin Cymbal]

This is a great deal so I just signed up - $2.99/m for 3 months!

I don’t believe that I’ve ever actually paid for Apple TV+ (maybe I did for 1-2 months @ $4.99/m) because I’ve gotten so many free trial offers since Apple released this streaming service back in 2019

I haven’t gotten another free trial offer in a while so I just took advantage of this offer and will binge watch all the good shows until it ends for me (on July 9th)

I’m glad that Apple makes it really easy to remove the auto-renew (well before July 9th) via the subscriptions tab under iCloud - so that it won’t start billing at $9.99/m in July

 

[CarpalMac]

Agreed. Time to cut the Vision Pro also

But so many very vocal people on here kept saying it was a 2007 iPhone watershed moment, denouncing those who dared question the market for such a device?! I have the downvotes to prove it... 🤷‍♂️

They are seeing what they wish was true, not what's actually true.

There are almost no real parallels between what the two products are, what they are supplanting, the mainstream interest in using them.. on and on down the line.
