According 9to5Mac, Apple will extend its free one-year trials of its TV Plus service to customers until July 2021. The tests were originally included with the purchase of any Apple device (for example, an iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV) and were initially set to last until November 1, 2020. This is the second extension, with the first extending from November 2020 to February 2021.
Subscribers who had free subscriptions set to expire at any time from February 2021 to June 2021 will also receive an extension until July. The extension comes in the wake of production delays. Only one shows the service launched with (Dickinson) had its debut in the second season, while others – such as For all mankind, The Morning Showand Watch – are still waiting for their second season.
Showing productions being delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic is not surprising, and extending the trial is a nice gesture. Viewers would probably like to start watching the second seasons of their favorite shows before deciding whether the service is worth $ 4.99 a month, and the extension is giving them the ability to do so. After all, there is not much use in a TV subscription service if some shows have only 12 episodes.
