Yeah just make sure your device is registered to the same ID as your iTunes account I'd guess
from what I've read, on the 1st when scrolling down the tv app you will see something to click to activate your 1 year free subscription.
Agree. I am wondering how this will work if we bought a device after the announcement. I bought iPhone and a new MacBook.
You have to sign in on the new device, there will be an option to start your free one year trial. I chatted with Apple support on the subject, everything you need to know is available from Apple on this link:
Thanks. Just so Im clear.
I bought an iphone 11, I sign into my phone with my apple id... install the app on my phone, then open the app and activate the sub on my phone.
But how then do I watch it on my ATV4K?

I think it applies after the 1 week free trial from what I remember them saying at the show. It's suppose to be tied to your Apple ID.
As bumbo stated. You will be able to watch on any device, Mac iPhone iPad or Apple TV so long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID as the device you activated your subscription on.
From the terms and conditions https://www.apple.com/promo/pdf/EN_US_ATV+_Promo_TandCs.pdf
"Offer must be claimed in the Apple TV app within 3 months after first setting up your new device."
The key words are within 3 months of setting up your new device. If you got the new iPhones on launch day in late September, you already have lost the first 40 to 45 days of that 3 month period if you set up the phone when you got it. So you really only have until mid December at the latest to sign up for a year of free ATV+

That’s fake news. Did you read the rest of the paragraph you quoted from the terms and conditions?
“If you’ve purchased your new device before the launch of Apple TV+ on November 1, you will have 3 months starting November 1 to redeem.”
So if you purchased an iPhone 11/Pro/Pro Max on October 31 or earlier, you have until February 1 to start the 1 year trial.
Just tried in the uk on my 11 Pro Max and nothing yet about free subscription - correction. It’s there now

Last thing I bought Apple wise was the second gen Airpods. Certainly no significant new Apple Tech like a new iPhone, mac or Apple TV since September 10.
But I got the free year anyway. Signed up and good to go for a year.

someone says if you go to https://tv.apple.com it recognized his free trial.
PSA: If you dont see the 1 year free trial on your iPhone 11...
... then visit https://tv.apple.com instead in a browser, the 1 free trial will show up there instead. Worked for me.

I’ve tried accessing the web site with Chrome and Firefox and still only get the option of a one week trial. ?
