How to Cancel Apple TV+ Subscription (2026 Guide)

Updated 2026-02-17 · 4 min read

Apple TV+ costs $9.99/month ($119.88/year). Many people got it free with a new Apple device and didn't realize the trial converted to a paid subscription. Here's how to cancel on every device.

💡 The Free Trial Pipeline

Apple gives 3 months free with new device purchases. This is smart — you buy an iPhone in September, forget about the trial, and start getting charged in December. Check your Apple subscriptions right now if you bought any Apple device in the last year.

⚠️ Apple One Bundle Check

If you have Apple One ($19.95-$32.95/month), Apple TV+ is bundled in. Canceling Apple TV+ alone won't work — you'd need to cancel the entire Apple One bundle. Check Settings → Subscriptions to see if you have Apple One.

Is Apple TV+ Worth Keeping?

The content problem: Apple TV+ has great shows (Severance, Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Slow Horses) but a much smaller library than Netflix, Max, or Disney+. If you've watched the 5-6 shows you wanted, there's not much reason to keep it.

💡 The Binge Strategy

Apple TV+ shows drop weekly. The smart move: cancel now, wait for 2-3 shows you want to build up full seasons, then resubscribe for one month and binge everything. At $9.99 for a month vs $119.88/year, you save 90%.
