Apple yesterday officially confirmed pricing and availability for two of its upcoming Services, Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade. They’re both launching within the next month, and now that pricing has been announced, we’re curious: do you plan on subscribing?
Apple Arcade is Apple’s game subscription service that will allow users to play a collection of games across Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV for a single monthly subscription. Apple Arcade will launch on September 19th for $4.99 per month with a one-month free trial.
Meanwhile, Apple TV+ is Apple’s original content streaming service, competing with the likes of Netflix, Hulu, and HBO. Apple TV+ will launch on November 1st for $4.99, which as Benjamin Mayo noted this morning, was quite a surprise.
Apple also announced that if you buy an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Mac within the next year, you’ll get one year free of Apple TV+. This means that many of you will likely get one year for free.
CNBC details that analysts are particularly impressed with Apple TV+’s pricing:
Personally, I’ll likely try out Apple Arcade for the one-month free trial, but I’m unsure if I’ll end up being a subscriber. I’m not a big gamer in general, regardless of the platform or the collection of available titles. I do, however, plan on being a long-term Apple TV+ subscriber.
Now that we know pricing for Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade, do you plan on subscribing? Let us know in the poll below and down in the comments.
