The content represents about a third of Apple’s TV+ offering, and excludes some of the service’s premium shows like “The Morning Show,” which remains behind Apple’s streaming paywall.
Apple is also currently offering extended trials of several streaming services available within the Apple TV app under Apple TV Channels, including free access to EPIX for the next month.
Apple is still rolling out its “Free for Everyone” offering, so sit tight if you’re not able to access it just yet. Meanwhile, if you’re keen to check out the full raft of content, Apple still offers a free seven-day trial of Apple TV+, which converts into a $4.99 per month subscription or an annual $49.99 subscription if users continue with the service.
