– Apple TV+ costs $12.99 per month and offers a mix of sci-fi, sports, kids content, and many shows, with no ads and exclusive F1 rights starting in 2026.
– Apple is offering a Black Friday deal for six months of Apple TV+ at $5.99 per month, over half off the regular price, the lowest since a 2022 price increase.
– Unlike competitors offering year-long discounts, this promotion is limited to six months but still saves $42 compared to the standard cost over that period.
– The deal has restrictions: it excludes those eligible for three free months from a new Apple device purchase or who subscribe through third parties like Amazon.
For anyone looking to enhance their streaming lineup without the interruption of commercials, Apple TV Plus presents a compelling Black Friday opportunity. Subscribers can secure six months of the service for just $5.99 per month, a significant discount from the standard $12.99 monthly fee. This promotion effectively cuts the cost by more than half, offering substantial savings for both new and returning customers.
A single month of Apple TV Plus typically runs $12.99, providing access to a diverse library of content. Viewers can explore a rich selection of science fiction, sports programming, family-friendly shows, and a vast array of movies and series. It stands out as one of the few major streaming platforms that remains completely ad-free. Subscribers can enjoy acclaimed originals like the gripping drama Severance, the epic Foundation, and the clever spy thriller Slow Horses. The service is also set to become the exclusive streaming home for Formula 1 racing starting in 2026.
This particular promotion allows you to lock in the reduced $5.99 rate for a half-year period. The last time the service was available near this price point was in late 2022, just before Apple implemented its first price increase from $4.99 to $6.99. Over the six-month promotional term, the total cost comes to $36 plus applicable taxes, compared to the regular price of $78 for the same duration.
It is important to note that this deal is for a six-month subscription, whereas competing services like Disney Plus and HBO Max sometimes offer year-long discounted plans. Despite the shorter timeframe, the savings are still considerable. However, certain restrictions apply to this offer. According to reports, the promotion is not compatible for users who are eligible to redeem a three-month free trial obtained through the purchase of a new Apple device. Additionally, the deal is not available to those who manage their Apple TV Plus subscription through a third-party retailer such as Amazon.
