I loveApple TV+. AsI wrotea few weeks back, it might not have as many shows as Netflix but “it does have plenty ofquality”– and unlikeNetflixit’s not upping its prices or paying comedians huge sums to pick on marginalised people, so that’s a big plus, too.

In recent months I’ve loved Apple Originals including spy drama Slow Horses, weird and spooky workplace drama Severance, time-travelling thriller The Shining Girls and many more, and I’m about to watch Prehistoric Planet with my kids.

And you can watch these things too, for free. Here’s how to do it.

How to get Apple TV+ for free

There are three options to get Apple TV+ for free:

1.The easiest, totally free way to get Apple TV+ for free is toactivate the free trial that is available to everyone: that’s good for seven days, after which you’ll pay the usual subscription of £4.99 a month if you want to continue.

2.Secondly, if you buy a new Apple product then you get Apple TV+ for free for 3 months. This includes purchases of new iPhones, iPads, iPods, Apple TVs or Macs. It’s just a matter of activating it in the TV+ app.

3.The third option is to get your Apple TV+ as part of an Apple One subscription. Apple TV+ is included with every Apple One subscription: I took out my subscription to share Apple Music and iCloud storage with my family, so my Apple TV+ subscription is effectively free.
