So how do we “sign up”? Do we have to do anything? I bought a new iPhone11Pro is my AppleID already “signed up” for Apple TV Plus.
We’ve added the Apple TV+ sign up information to the article above. Thank you!
When you open your Spple TV app on your phone it’ll automatically ask if you’d like to activate your 1 year free subscription
I’d be interested to know if this is the idea Jobs had when he was quoted in Walter Isaacson’s book, “He very much wanted to do for television sets what he had done for computers, music players, and phones: make them simple and elegant,” Isaacson wrote.
Isaacson continued: “‘I’d like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use,’ he told me. ‘It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud.’ No longer would users have to fiddle with complex remotes for DVD players and cable channels. ‘It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it.’”
Is Apple TV+ Steve’s crack or Tim’s crack?
Watching the first three episodes of For All Mankind. It’s great!
Watching See. How does civilization survive in even its most basic form with everyone blind?
And they still have plenty of plastic bottles.
Lots of smoking in to serve mankind. And illegal aliens.
First impression of Apple TV Plus was bad. We thought it was all family oriented and tasteful only to see baby elephants dying of starvation, Reese Witherspoon screaming about conservatives poisoning the world, terrible acting in “See,” white men are sexual predators, a yawner about Emily Dickinson, more boring Oprah, etc. it’s Hollywood once again ramming their liberal BS down the throats of America with Tim Cook at the helm. Thank goodness I have a year free, because, so far, I wouldn’t pay a penny. What a letdown.
I don’t like sports, so I wouldn’t spend a penny on ESPN. You don’t like programming aimed at young urban professionals, so you wouldn’t spend a penny on Apple TV+. The difference is that I’m not ranting online about the programming that other people like. You can watch whatever you like, as far as I’m concerned.
Hollywood seems so predictable, iMaki. Stereotyping has replaced character development and plot; Special effects has replaced creativity. I don’t anticipate using much of my free access this year. I can see what the agenda is.
So I got my year’s subscription along with a new iPhone and signed up, and Wow!! Look at all the content!! But the reality is that so far, it’s just the iTunes store with a cover charge. iTunes purchases all show up since I used the same AppleID, but I could watch those anyway. Everything I click on says “buy, starting at $2.99”. Again, just like the iTunes store. I’m not sure why anybody would pay at this point.
