Apple TV+ has great content, but it doesn’t have as many subscribers as Netflix or Amazon Prime. It is more popular among Apple users, comparatively also because you can club it as part of Apple One, which also gives Apple users access to Apple Music, iCloud+, and other apps. Apple TV+’s relatively small user base (the company doesn’t publicly disclose its subscriber base) is interesting because it’s also not very expensive – its subscription in India starts at Rs 99 for a month. However, it seems that Apple is now trying to fix this. Apple has announced that Apple TV+ will stream free to all users in India and around the world in the first weekend of 2025.

This basically means that starting Friday, January 3, Apple TV+ will be free to use for everyone, regardless of whether you have a subscription to the platform or not. The platform will be free to stream until Sunday, January 5. This offer will be available everywhere in the world. The only condition: the streaming service is available where you live – that is, you’re not using the service via a VPN.

All you need is an Apple ID and password to access this offer. If you don’t have one, you can create one for free.

But why is Apple letting people use Apple TV+ for free?

Let’s go back to what we said at the beginning of the article. Apple is trying to recover its relatively small user base. With access open to everyone for three days, Apple is trying to get people to sign up for Apple TV+ and hopefully hook them up to a show or some Apple TV+ exclusive content that will get them free. Will force you to sign up for a streaming service when it’s the weekend. Above.

Apple has an interesting lineup on Apple TV+ that includes series like Severance, Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, as well as critically acclaimed titles like Silo, Shrinking, and Slow Horses. For science fiction fans, there’s also Dark Matter, For All Mankind, and Foundation. Movies like Fly Me to the Moon, Wolf, The Instigators and The Family Plan are also available on this platform.
