You have to sign up for the Apple TV+ service to be able to access it.

The free year subscription is for Apple TV+ content (note the plus, which differentiates it from other ‘Apple TV’ products).

The Apple TV+ service has select original content now, collectively called ‘Apple Originals’.

The Apple TV+ subscription does not give access to iTunes Store content (other movies and TV shows for buy and rent).

The Apple TV+ subscription does not give access to other Apple TV app Channels. In fact, Apple TV+ is presented in the Apple TV app as one of the Channels.
