Long story short, I had a slot of issues signing up for my free 1 year trial yesterday.

Originally, it said I only got 1 week free when I signed up, something must have gotten messed up and I only got the standard 1 week free trial that stated I would start getting charged on Nov 8, 2019. (First screenshot)

Later, I logged back in and I saw the 1 year free trial. I selected it and it appears I was updated to the 1 year free trial. The weird thing though is that it states “Free for 1 week” while also saying it “Renews Nov 8, 2020” which is a year away. (Second screenshot)

Could anyone take a picture of their free one year subscription and repost? Not sure if I have some type of error on my account or if this normal.

I haven’t signed up yet but looked at it yesterday. It said 7 day trial. Today at gym I got a notification about my 1 year free trial due to my recent purchase. Stupid me didn’t take a screenshot and immediately open it. Greeted with a 7 day trial.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. The thing is I haven’t recently purchased eligible products.

Same here. Still using my iPhone 7 but I did buy Watch Series 5 a couple of weeks ago.. which isn’t eligible for the promotion.

AppleTV+ is also free if you are a student using Apple Music.
Are you subscribed to that?

You should get one free year of Apple TV+ when you buy a new Apple device, and you get one free month of Apple Arcade regardless of what iDevice you currently have.

These screenshots I’m seeing simply mean you get a year free, then if you do not cancel you will be charged on the monthly option after the free trial has ended.
