Roku, Samsung, and T-Mobile Offer More Free Apple TV+

30 AUGUST 2022 - More free Apple TV+. On the try-before-you-buy side, a piece from iLounge says both Roku and Samsung are making the Cupertino-streamer available for free for three months. Between now and 28 November, the piece says:

Samsung customers and owners of new smart TV models from 2018 through 2022 can receive a free trial for 3 months. All they need to do is open the native Apple TV+ app from their TVs and follow the on-screen instructions to redeem the offer.

While the report does not make it clear, one assumes that the Roku offer is similar - made through the Apple TV+ app on Roku-powered televisions and streaming devices. The post simply has Roku saying “that new subscribers get the service for three months without a charge.” After the free trial, charges kick in at the usual $4.99-per-month.

From free-trial to add-on - a piece from MacRumors says T-Mobile is now including Apple’s streaming service in one of its cellular plans - or will be, beginning 31 August. According to that report, T-Mobile:

…is adding an Apple TV+ subscription to its Magenta MAX plan, giving eligible T-Mobile customers unlimited access to Apple's original content…

For “Regular Magenta” customers, they’re on an extended try-before-you-buy. Those users have access to six-months free of Apple TV+, according to the report.
