There are just a few days remaining to save 70% on Apple TV Plus. This is a rare deal for the streaming giant, knocking $21 off your first three months of service.

The Apple TV Plus deal launched on April 8 and lasts until April 24, 2025. We don't know what time the deal will end on the 24th, so we recommend subscribing before then to ensure you can cash in on the savings. The deal is available to new and qualified returning customers, meaning that there's a chance you qualify, even if you've subscribed to the streaming service in the past. Qualified subscribers will get their first three months for $2.99/month before subscriptions renew at the then-standard rate, which is currently $9.99/month.

Apple TV Plus is known for its prestige television shows, from "Ted Lasso" to "For All Mankind." The app first made waves with celebrity-studded dramas like "The Morning Show" and Emmy Award-winning comedies such as "Ted Lasso," but the second season of "Severance" recently catapulted Apple TV Plus into must-have streaming territory. Plus, the app has now added live sports streaming options into the mix.

We qualify this as a rare deal since we don't typically see offers from Apple TV Plus outside the standard free months that come with the purchase of Apple devices. This is a great way to test out the service if you've been trying to decide whether it's for you, or binge some of the popular shows before canceling in 90 days. If you're still on the fence or unsure if you qualify, keep reading for the answers to some frequently asked questions.

FAQ

Who is eligible for the deal?

There are a few eligibility stipulations. You need to make sure that you're subscribing directly through Apple and not a third party (like a wireless provider), and you can't also be eligible for three months of free Apple TV Plus. Not sure if that's you? You can click through the Apple TV Plus website to see your potential savings when you start the signup process.

What's on Apple TV Plus?

Apple TV Plus mainly carries original programming. In addition to the shows that we highlighted above, the app also carries popular programs like "Slow Horses," "Shrinking," and the recently released Seth Rogen vehicle "The Studio." The service has developed a particular niche for sci-fi, boasting programs like "Silo," "Foundation," "Invasion," and "Dark Matter," in addition to the aforementioned "Severance" and "For All Mankind."

Apple TV Plus also carries select movies (including "Fly Me to the Moon," "Killers of the Flower Moon," and "The Gorge") and exclusive Friday night MLB games. If you can't get enough sports, you can also add on the MLS Season Pass for all-access soccer. You don't need an Apple TV Plus account to subscribe to this add-on, although it is a bit cheaper when you already have a base account.

The streamer has earned its fair share of accolades. Since its inception, Apple TV Plus has been a fixture at the Emmys and Golden Globes, with several series nabbing nominations (and the occasional award) each year. In 2022, Apple TV Plus (through Apple Original Films) became the first streaming service to win the Academy Award for Best Picture thanks to "CODA," the Sian Heder film that first debuted at the Sundance Film Festival.

Is Apple TV Plus worth it?

In our guide to the best streaming services, we dubbed Apple TV Plus the best ad-free plan on a budget. The streamer consistently produces several critically acclaimed TV shows yearly and isn't known for huge price hikes. Even before the current discount, the service is one of the cheapest ad-free streaming services on the market. It's also one of the few streaming services that offers ad-free streaming in its base plan, with no ad-supported option or upgrades to higher tiers.
