If I buy the Apple TV streaming box will I have to pay an additional fee if I have family sharing and get Apple TV?

There is no fee for Family Sharing, although select subscriptions differentiate between individual and family. Apple TV+ doesn’t make that distinction. Apple TV+ can be shared during the free trial.

There are no services included with the Apple TV box, although you may get temporary free trials with select services, and not all services require a subscription.

When you buy a new Apple TV box, it includes 3 months of Apple TV+ for free. Redeem it on your new eligible device.

Apple TV+ is a specific channel with exclusive content. It is not “everything for free” in the Apple TV app or on the Apple TV box, that some people mistakenly hoped it would be.
