Subscribers also have access to coverage of Major League Soccer and Major League Baseball sporting events.
Pricing and terms
The Apple TV+ add-on subscription costs £8.99 a month, on a rolling monthly basis.
Prime members can subscribe to Apple TV+ with no extra apps to download beyond Prime Video. The subscription can be cancelled at any time.
Given Prime Video’s widespread availability across smart TVs, streaming sticks/dongles and cable and satellite receivers, the arrival of Apple TV+ will give Apple a massive boost in coverage in UK homes.
The Apple TV+ rollout on Amazon’s streaming platform is part of a wider global rollout. US users gained access to Apple TV+ via Prime Video back in October. Canada and Australia join the UK in the next wave of expansion.
