With a subscription as expensive as AppleTV why do I still need to spend even more money to watch any of the good movies or shows? It doesn’t seem fair to make your subscribers pay so much so many times. Seems pointless to have a subscription just to pay more on top of that.
C222X,
I just went through this last night. I had tagged half a dozen movies to watch, but when I went to watch them, none of them would play. When I click "HOW TO WATCH" it says you can buy, rent, or subscribe. I do subscribe, so what's the problem?
The Expanse is on Prime, not on Apple TV+, for subscription access.
For buy-to-keep, users do not need to be subscribed to Apple TV+ to buy movies or TV shows from the iTunes Store, nor does that bring any advantage. To buy a season, scroll down to How to Watch, then select Buy Seasons, then make your choice.
If you have seen all the Apple TV+ shows and movies that you want to watch, then you can choose to not renew. New content gets added every month, so check back later for what has changed.

i don’t understand how i can get Napoleon free with my subscription which came out three months ago but i have to rent a movie that was released over 20 years ago!
I understand you get exclusive content from Apple but the cost doesn’t justify what little bit of Apple content series they have
That movie is not part of the "Apple TV +" subscription.
The "Apple TV app", shows other content available to buy or rent that is not part of the "Apple TV +" subscription
Only "Apple TV +" shows/movies etc, that is Apple's own content is part of "Apple TV +" subscription, that is also offered as part of "Apple One"

I'm not going to subscribe it after end of trial period unless this changes.
That would be an obvious choice if you are not interested in any of the content. No one would recommend you keep a subscription if you do not use the service. New content is added every week. For me I would rather pay a lower cost for new content, than pay a higher price on other streaming services to watch old reruns of TV Shows and movies that have been out for years. The choice is yours to make.
Not sure why you only seen 50 options to choose from, for a full list visit this page and many of the titles are series with multiple episodes spanning years. Again this is original programming and not something you will find anywhere else.

I think this is where I'm confused. I have Apple tv subscription and I'm trying to watch Apple content and still asks me to subscribe. What is even more insane is that I have been watching the Morning Show (first season) for free and recently I wanted to watch second season all of a sudden asked me for subscription. Now I can't access any apple content including ones I have watched in the past. Is this just me or they changed something in the last few months?
All Apple TV+ original content is viewable with your subscription. What you are seeing suggests a problem that may be on Apple's server side not recognizing you as a subscriber. I have not experienced this issue, but would be just as concerned as you are. Have you tried signing out of your Account and signing back in? If no luck, I would contact Apple directly.

Yes nothing new seems to appear I had a look last time a free subscription was offered nothing at all I wanted to watch 6 months later still exact same things
Some of what has been added in April 2024
Most notable from March 2024
Not exactly what I would call "nothing new". But, only you can decide if you like what Apple is offering. They do tend to offer slightly more cerebral content than some of the other streaming services. It's certainly not for everyone.
yea i mean its honestly soo bad. just canceled mine. honestly cheaper to just use yt at this point
There is so little content anyway even if it was all free not worth £8.99 a month
No.
That is not Apple Original content.
I don’t understand why so many people don’t have the mental capacity to understand something so simple.
AppleTV plus is a streaming service just like Netflix, Hulu, Disney, Peacock.
When you subscribe to AppleTV plus, you get access to only AppleTV plus content.
You don’t get access to everything ever released.
Could you explain what you mean a little further, I have never encountered this. All of Apple’s original content for me is included with Apple TV+ subscription. I see that you had to pay for the Expanse but that’s not an Apple show, and therefore not a part of Apple TV+ but just sold on their iTunes marketplace like any other movie or show.
What country are you in, how are you viewing your Apple TV + subscription? On an Apple TV+ device/box connected to your TV, an app on your TV, an iPhone, iPad, etc.
Have you tried to usual troubleshooting such as restarting the device, logging out and back in to your Apple ID on the device, etc.
‘John Wayne Gacy: Devil in disguise’ (2021) is a mini series on Peacock, not Apple TV+, nor in the Apple iTunes Store (‘buy content’) for TV shows.
Users will need to subscribe to Peacock TV to see this.
Just cancelled for this very reason. Limited new content and the free old
stuff is a available on netflix prime or even good old cable. I signed up for new content but it is pretty slim. And hard to find with all the stuff they are selling.
Why do I need to buy content when I already pay for the subscription
