- Apple TV+ Price -Hiking Tour does not apply to the Service’s annual rate
- The cost of bundle services such as Apple One remains unchanged
- New and selected recurring subscribers can still get a 7-day free trial
Apple TV +’s sudden price increase has left subscribers encrypted to decide whether to cancel their subscription before the increased rate emerges in their next renewal bill, but there are some ways to avoid paying as much as 30% more.
The best thing I’ve seen so far is to sign up for an annual subscription as the 12-month rate remains unchanged at the moment. This means that you can not only get a more than 16% saving on the old monthly costs of Apple TV+ by buying an annual subscription, but you can also save 55% on the newly collected monthly price.
By signing up for 12 months in advance, you can bring the cost of a monthly subscription down to just $ 8.33 in the US, £ 7.49 in England and AU $ 10.83 in Australia (see Table below for how these are stacked up against the new raised prices).

Also, Apple has not announced further changes in the price of other bundles and offers, which means the cost of its mega subscription service that bundles all its services, including Apple Music, Apple Arcade, iCloud+, Apple TV+and more, in a package remains unchanged.
The Apple One subscription bundle has three different price levels depending on whether you want an individual account, family or multiple premium features such as a higher storage capacity on iCloud, making it a great value to anyone who regularly uses these services. It starts at $ 19.95 a month in the US, £ 18.95 per year. Month in the UK and AU $ 21.95 per month. Month in Australia.
If you haven’t already read our Apple TV+ costing guide, you may not know that you can still get a free trial of Apple’s streaming service. The initial offer is available to new and selected recurring customers, making it a great opportunity if you are a knowledgeable budget that jumps between subscriptions.
An Apple TV+ free trial is by far the cheapest opportunity to avoid price increase and there are several ways to get one. The default trial period is seven days, but you can get a month if you are a student or a new Apple One subscriber -or three months with an Apple device purchase. In the US, you can also get three months if you buy a ROKU device or six months if you are on a T-Mobile Go5G plan. There are also similar offers in the UK with EE iPhone contracts and three bundles.

Of course, it’s always worth keeping an eye on the best streaming offers, but Apple TV+ is not known for offering many discounts throughout the year.
Will Apple TV+ introduce an ad supported level?
If you are like me and signed up for the rare Apple TV+ deal that marked a 70% saving on the usual price of a subscription in April, your discounted account is likely to run out now – big timing, I know.
Fortunately, there are ways to save money on an Apple TV+ subscription (as mentioned above), but for anyone looking for a longer -term solution that does not involve swapping and changing which of the best streaming services you are signed up for each month, you can be on the horizon.
The reports have been circulating for over a year now that Apple TV+ has made entrances to the advertising space. From recruiting AD-Execs to Test of AD tools, industrial insiders have linked these dots and believe they suggest that Apple TV+ could be next to get an ad-based level.
It is not too surprising considering the success of Netflix, Disney+and Prime Video after rolling out similar ad supported levels, with the services, each announcing an increase in sign -ups from the back of the launch of these new, cheaper levels.
With Apple increasingly spending more on large ticket productions and acquiring the expensive rights to major sporting tournaments-omnotal Formula One rights in the US, it certainly has an impact on the bottom line, which means we will have to cough up for it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we start hearing more about a potential ad-supported level rolling out on Apple TV+ from the back of the price increase, especially if it affects the subscriber numbers, as Apple’s streaming service will undoubtedly win back eye balls.
