The limited-time offer lasts just this weekend, January 3-5, and aims to get more users to sign up for the subscription service.
Although Apple TV+ offers a free trial period before signing up, users must share their banking details.
But, this special treat will mean users will not have to hand over details to use the streamer over the free weekend.
Discussing how the free period will work, Apple TV+ shares: “Apple TV+ will be free on any device where Apple TV+ is available. All you need is an Apple ID to see what all the buzz is about.”
This weekend, see for yourself.
