Update: 10th September 2019
At the Apple event Today it was revealed that it will launch on 1st November 2019 and will cost $4.99 per month.
It will be free for the first year with any major Apple Purchase.
We'll post a full press release when/if it becomes available.
Apple is reportedly looking to launch the Apple TV Plus subscription-video service in November — around when Disney Plus is set to debut — for $9.99 per month.
Apple TV Plus will bow in November with a “small selection” of shows, Bloomberg reported, citing anonymous sources. At $9.99, which analysts have guessed would be the price point Apple landed on, that would be less than Netflix’s standard plan ($12.99) but higher than Disney Plus ($6.99).
