Apple TV+ subscription and movie availability

Hello,


I would like to know if all the movies come for free in Apple TV+ as I have a subscription for Apple TV+ but I cannot watch all movies for free, either I need to rent or buy the movies. Is there some other subscription where I can watch all the movies for free without paying?


Also if I buy the Apple TV device for my TV do I get all movies for free or do I also need to subscribe to watch?


Thank you.

Buying an Apple TV box doesn’t bring free movies or free subscriptions for existing or prior subscribers. Buying certain Apple devices may offer an extended free trial to certain Apple services, once per user (terms and conditions apply).


There is no subscription plan that covers all the tens of thousands movies in the Store. Apple contracted that content for the suppliers as reseller, similar to other resellers, not for subscription use.


The Apple TV+ subscription brings the special catalog of Apple Originals, and is separate from the Store movies (and Store TV shows in a 6 select countries) with content from other studios and networks. And the third party in-app channel subscriptions are separate from both. Like multiple services in one app.
