I mean this.
In the TV Plus section there is content which is not available in the subscription yet it is shown and when you tap on it it asks to pay.
Got a tip for us?

Again, why does it matter to you? Do you have the Apple TV logo tattooed on your forehead? If so, I understand then why you care so much about having confirmation from other sources ?
It only appears that way because you are overly emotional about online communities, and maybe you’ve been here too long. You should try other forums before thinking MR is the only place with that mindset. I think you need to surround yourself with people with similar emotions and mind
Honestly that is my plan as long as the price is still low. If the price hikes up next year I will not pay as I have other streaming services I don’t want to lose.
I have seen the four main shows outside, all of which I could have lived without. I have a new mac and am entitled to a free year but dont feel apple tv is worth the upgrade to Catalina. Therefore by the time I do upgrade I am not sure I will bother to use it.
Best part of the Morning show however is Witherspoons acting. Well done.

I think you may be misunderstanding the difference between the TV app itself and the TV+ Channel. Netflix is a specific streaming service, while the TV app is an aggregator app that pulls in and displays content from many different services (but not Netflix).
A subscription to TV+ does not get one access to content from all those other services (such as HBO, Starz or the iTunes Store). It only gets one access to the TV+ content. In this case See, For All Mankind, The Morning Show, etc.
To access Tv+ ONLY content scroll down in the Watch Now tab until you see the “Available Apple TV Channels” section and select the TV+ icon. This will show you ONLY TV+ content with no other content mixed in.
No, thank God...
The shows have already been renewed for Season 2's:

You just know it that the seasons will start after most people's free year is over...
We'll have to see what happens next year, as Disney+ will also be in full-swing.

You’ve said this more than once. You’ve even said Apple will have a 2 million budget per year going forward for atv costs. (2 million doesn’t even pay the actors).
I think you’ve left out a few zeroes. Don’t you mean billion? And 40 mil paid users a year is just 200 mil revenue for Apple in a year. How does this begin to pay for at least 6 billion in expenses this year plus at least 2 billion a year afterwards?
I’m sure Apple will even have a hit or two. But this service isn’t profitable on its own and never will be. But apple isn’t stupid. This leads me to think Apple has other reasons whether it’s selling 3rd party services or trying to remain relevant in streaming and living room (the number of Apple TV’s in living rooms is a very small number compared to amazon, roku, Xbox, etc). Now Apple has an app on these boxes.
I think it’s very important to acknowledge that Apple is just as happy with some buying an hbo channel for example vs buying an atv+ sub.
So is Disney+ (which is integrated in tv app) competition? Nope. Apple considers them partners. It adds to tv app. It adds to apple revenues from selling Disney. I think many simply lack understanding this. Apple isn’t competing with these guys. So people are wasting breath with atv+ vs Disney arguments and which is better. Apple sells both. Atv+ only exists to get you to use the atv app.
Apples main weapon is iTunes payments, it’s billion+ customers, and getting 30%. If you think atv+ sucks and Disney rules then Apple is glad to sell you a Disney sub instead.
You are right. I meant to say 2 billion a year. TV+ is $50 a year, so 2,000,000,000 divided by 50 gets you 40 million?
Oops. You’re right. Was thinking monthly for a strange reason. Much of the break even then depends on what Apple spends in future years and how many trials they convert. I get the impression Apple hasn’t really decided or if they’ll tell us the numbers.
i watched the 4th episodes of both See and Morning Show and i'm stunned to say that they both get progressively worse.
These shows are as good as the Apple tv touch remote.
They botched this thing bad. We'll see what the future holds but if it continues down this path i cannot see it being a success, like, at all.

This is the best quote I have seen today.
Because your taste = the world’s taste.
At my age+the huge library of tv/movies i have seen in my lifetime i think i can say with objectivity what is or is not a good show.
I'm not saying they are awful, but so far they are not great, nor even decent. They're mediocre at best, propped up by star power/production value . It seems most of the respected critics (i emphasize respected because there's so many crappy so called critics these days) confirm my view.
You can only say what you think is a good show. Your opinion does not apply to anyone else. No opinion is ‘objective’.
Dude it’s got an Apple logo beside it. That alone gets people to defend these to the very end. If these shows were on Netflix chances are you probably never hear about them. But I still wonder who besides Apple would green light See with a dumb premise and high budget. This kind of decision making doesn’t bode well.
For what it's worth i appreciate bold risk taking on sci fi type shows like See. But i agree that it was probably never going to work, the premise is so ridiculously absurd. What happens is that most of the audience will be picking apart how illogical all of it is rather than letting themselves be entertained. They had to have known that, right?
I feel like a lot of these 4 shows has to do with 'wokeness'. Each of the 4 shows reflect some type of ultra-liberal perspective so it would seem that they greenlit these specifically because of it which is a recipe for disaster
lol the irony of you in this thread claiming to have a clear headed conversation.
This may come as a shock to you but you indeed can measure someone's taste in things.
Though i do agree it may be a pointless endeavor for a Michelin Star chef to argue with someone why their precious popeyes chicken sandwich isn't exactly the pinnacle of culinary arts.....
Why did you even bother creating a thread asking a question if you already have a predetermined view and are being argumentative/snotty with others who disagree? Others have said they enjoy the shows. You tell them they're wrong. You were never interested in any meaningful conversation you just wanted to crap on Apple. Cool, you don't like the service or the shows offered. Someone else may like the shows and be willing to pay $5/month to watch them. Why is this such a personal issue for you? I don't see many Apple apologists in here, but I do see a couple Apple haters for sure..
For the record I do not subscribe to Apple TV+ and do not intend to. I don't see the harm or issue with other people subscribing to them though. You seem like someone that likes to smell their own farts though based on your last couple of postings. But I do have to ask. If you hate the shows so much, why do you continue to watch them....? You have watched 4 episodes of 2 different shows. I imagine they are hour long episodes? That's 8 hours of your life "wasted". For someone so concerned with how others are spending their money you sure seem to have no problem wasting your time.
I have watched 2 episodes of See so far. Although I only sorta like the storyline. At this point, Disney+ would be more likely to get my $7/month than Apple would.
To be fair, I have not seen For All Mankind nor any of the other shows that I have heard are better yet...

we got disney+ free as well with our verizone service.
unless you have kids, or are truly obsessed with marvel/star wars i also dont' see it being a great service unless their new 'original' shows are decent.
however, for $13 which includes hulu and espn+ i think is a good deal.
no one gave any real compelling argument other than "i like the shows"
There is no reason more compelling than “I like the shows”
.......It is a tv show service..... What other compelling reason is needed...?
Are you just not going to address any of the other things I said... or..?
