Being originally announced in March this year, the Apple TV+ service makes its way to India finally. The Cupertino giant’s new step has already teased a lot of trailers regarding its new shows including web-series, movies, original content across a wide range of genres.
It seems the trillion-dollar company won’t stop against the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime Videos. It took a while for the service to India, nevertheless, as it is now available for the Indian users, let’s discuss more of it:
Apple TV+ Pricing
The Cupertino giant has a lot of users in the US and other European countries, so at March it announced that its Apple TV+ at just $4.99 (around Rs.350) per month in the US, and that too, for the family plan. This plan more for most European and American countries is quite normal as Netflix charges $12.99 per month for its Standard plan in the US.
But for India, Apple has taken a bold move this time, pricing the subscription at a jaw-dropping price of Rs.99 per month for up to six users. Now there’s another surprise, if you buy a new Apple device like iPad, iPhone, Apple TV Box or a Macbook or even an iPod, you won’t be even charged that amount also.
This can be a strategic move by Apple to engage more Indian customers reducing the subscription price and also giving a free 1-year subscription of Apple TV+ with all its new hardware sales. The annual pricing falls in the territory of Amazon Prime Videos or Hotstar Premium which won’t have such high budget content that Apple TV+ will offer you.
