Apple TV+ has launched; here’s how to access it

Apple TV+, Apple’s streaming service, has launched in more than 100 countries and regions around the world at launch. Content is subtitled and/or dubbed in 40 languages; closed captions and audio descriptions in eight languages. 

TV series now available to watch are Dickinson, For All Mankind, See, The Morning Show, Ghostwriter, Helpsters, Oprah’s Book Club, and Snoopy in Space, as well as the documentary, Elephant. More shows and movies will be added on a regular basis.

The streaming service costs $4.99 per month, though you can get a year’s subscription free with the purchase of a new Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. If you’ve already bought one of those, Apple has posted instructions on how to start your free subscription:

  • Turn on your new iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV 4K, or Apple TV HD, or Mac and sign in with your Apple ID. 

  • Open the Apple TV app. Make sure your eligible device is running the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, or macOS. 

  • The offer should be presented immediately after launching the app. If not, scroll down in Watch Now until the offer appears. 

  • Tap “Enjoy 1 Year Free.” You might be asked to enter your Apple ID password, confirm your billing information, or add a valid payment method. You will not be charged during the 1 year free trial.
