Apple TV has grown into one of the essential streaming services for anyone looking to keep up with buzzy content. The streaming service is home to hit originals like Severance, The Studio, Shrinking, and Ted Lasso, plus movies like F1, Coda, and Killers of the Flower Moon. Recently, Apple TV also signed a deal with Formula 1 that gives the streamer exclusive U.S. broadcast rights to all races over the next five years.
At a Glance: Apple TV Free Trials, Bundle Deals
- Free trials: Apple TV (7 days), Apple product purchase (3 months)
- Bundles: Peacock, T-Mobile
The downside of Apple TV upping its game is that we now have to pay for yet another streaming service. Luckily, there are a few ways to get a free trial to Apple TV — for up to three months — and some bundle deals that reduce the price of the streaming service. Read on for all of these hacks:
How to Get Apple TV for Free
The best way to get Apple TV for free is to take advantage of one of the free trial offers from Apple, but there are three different Apple TV free trials available.
1. Apple TV Standalone 7-day Free Trial
The first way to get an Apple TV free trial is directly through the app. This free trial lasts for seven days. If you don’t cancel within the seven-day window, pricing will kick in at $12.99 a month.
2. 30-day Apple TV Free Trial Through Apple One
The second Apple TV free trial option is through the Apple One subscription, which is a bundle of six Apple subscriptions: Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Arcade, Apple Fitness, Apple News, and iCloud storage. This free trial lasts for 30 days. After the trial, Apple One starts at $19.95 (which is a pretty great deal).
3. 3-month Apple TV Free Trial With a Product Purchase
The longest Apple TV free trial is three months, and is unlocked by purchasing a new Apple TV box, Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, or Mac. If you’ve been thinking about getting any new Apple devices, this is the best Apple TV free trial deal.
Apple TV Discounts, Bundles
Another way to save on Apple TV is to get it as a bundle with other services. One of the best is the Peacock + Apple TV bundle, which starts at just $14.99 a month for Apple TV and Peacock Premium. If you want Peacock Premium Plus and Apple TV, the bundle costs $19.99 a month. These bundles can save you more than 30% on your monthly streaming bill.
Apple TV is also available at a discount for select T-Mobile subscribers. Depending on your T-Mobile plan, you can get Apple TV for just $3 a month, which nets out to annual savings of $119.
