I just subscribed to a one year free Apple TV. I watched a movie via rent do I have to pay for that . I thought it was free?

The Apple TV+ subscription will give you access to Apple TV+ content, without asking to pay when subscribed.

The Apple TV app acts as a hub for more content that just Apple TV+. It also is a way to access iTunes Store movies and TV shows. Those are not included in the Apple TV+ subscription. It also is a way to access other premium Channels inside the Apple TV app. Those require separate subscriptions.

You can recognize Apple TV+ content by the ‘tv+’ logo on the artwork, or by going to the Apple TV+ Channel overview.

The Apple TV Plus subscription gives access to Apple original content only. You can see what is included in the service by scrolling down to the Apple TV channels section and selecting the Apple TV Plus icon. There are currently 12 series and 2 movies.

The TV app includes more then just Apple TV Plus, like items from the iTunes store as well as other Apple TV channels.

Items from the iTunes store are from 3rd party providers and done via purchase or rental. You rented a movie from the iTunes store, which has a separate cost associated with it.

As mentioned above, the rental movie is not part of the subscription, and you have to pay for that separately.

Any how the movie was excellent .

What movie did you see? (Always looking for recommendations…)
