Apple’s streaming service is one of the most popular entertainment platforms in the UK, and as of last year had over 25 million paid users worldwide.

But Apple TV+ isn’t exclusive to anyone with an iPhone, Mac or iPad. Even if you have a computer, an Android device, a game console, smart TV, laptop, tablet or most smartphones, anyone can access the streaming service for a monthly fee. And if you’re a fan of great TV, you should subscribe.

Since its launch in 2019, AppleTV+ has built a solid library of original programming aimed at a broad demographic with dramas, comedies, documentaries and even children’s shows. Unlike competitors, Apple TV+ is hyper-focused on original programming, and is the only place to watch award-winning shows like Ted Lasso, Slow Horses, Pachinko and Severance.

Not only that, but it’s competitively priced and one of the cheapest streaming services out there, compared to streaming champs Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime. Even better, if you’ve recently purchased an Apple device, you may be entitled to an extended free trial to check out some of the content before committing to a subscription.

How much does Apple TV+ cost and what is the cheapest option in the UK?

Apple TV+ costs £6.99 per month, up from the original launch price of £4.99. Although it has gone up a bit, it is still one of the cheapest options currently available for streaming platforms.

If you’re an Apple fan, you can bundle five Apple services into one to save money. Apple One combines Apple Music, 2TB of storage on iCloud+, Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade for £16.95 a month, a saving of £7 compared to buying each service separately.

Ted Lasso fans may be interested in the Apple TV+ MLS Season Pass, which streams live Major League Soccer games and unlocks fan pages and bonus content for £14.99 a month.

The MLS Season Pass is in addition to your regular Apple TV+ subscription, but subscribing to both will give you £2 off.

Don’t confuse Apple TV+ with the free Apple TV app that appears on your iOS devices. That app simply serves as a dashboard to see all of your various streaming services in one place, including Netflix, Prime Video, and Apple TV+, all of which have their own subscription costs.

If you’ve enabled Family Sharing, you can share your membership with up to five other family members on different devices, which is good news if you’ve been worried about Apple cracking down on password sharing.

How does the price of Apple TV+ compare to Netflix?

The most basic package on Netflix is cheaper at £4.99, but comes with ad breaks and no option to download shows. The standard package costs £10.99 per month, while the 4K HDR streaming plan (the closest equivalent to Apple TV+’s £6.99 plan) costs £15.99 per month.

How does the price of Apple TV+ compare to Disney+?

Disney+ costs £7.99 a month, but you have the option to pay for a whole year for the discounted price of £79.90. That means paying for a full year works out to £6.66 a month, or 33p less than Apple TV+’s £6.99. It also means you’re locked into Disney’s streaming service until 2024.

How does the price of Apple TV+ compare to Prime Video?

Amazon Prime bundles Amazon perks with Prime Video, so it can be difficult to compare like-for-like. Prime gives you next-day delivery when you shop on Amazon, as well as access to sales events like Amazon Prime Day and, of course, the ability to stream original and popular content on Prime Video.

Amazon Prime is currently priced at £8.99 per month, or you can pay £95 per year, which works out to around £7.92 per month.

Ultimately, the decision is yours. Whether you subscribe to AppleTV+ or one of the other services listed above will depend entirely on your budget and the type of content you want to stream.
