Apple TV+ is now showing advertisements in start of show.

So I was firing up the first episode of Foundation Season 2, and instead of just giving me the show it starts advertising something called "Beanie Bubble"?


I'm paying for Apple TV+. Don't show me advertisements. Not even for other shows. Unacceptable.

It has always been that way. The shows are all Apple TV shows, so it does not cost you any more money to watch them and are just previews of other shows available to you. They can be skipped as well.

Yep. Just started the 3mo trial with a new phone. 0 chance of continuing unless there is a way to stop the ads. Disgusting behaviour. Also bad UI.

The ads are only for other shows that Apple TV provides for free and you should have the option to skip them when they start up. It has always been that way to show other shows available on the service and I can skip them by clicking that option that appears on the screen. You are not required to watch the ads before your selected show plays.
