Title: Subscribers to Apple Music's $4.99 Monthly Student Plan to Get Apple TV+ 'for Free' Post by: HCK on October 31, 2019, 04:05:10 pm Subscribers to Apple Music's $4.99 Monthly Student Plan to Get Apple TV+ 'for Free'
Subscribers to Apple Music (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-music/)'s $4.99 student plan will get access to Apple TV (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-tv/)+ at no additional charge when the streaming video service launches on November 1. <img src="(http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2019/10/apple-tv-plus-and-apple-music.jpg)" alt="" width="800" height="439" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-712976" /> First spotted by 9to5Mac (https://9to5mac.com/2019/10/30/apple-tv-plus-free-apple-music/), the bundle deal was revealed in an Instagram Story by "Dickinson" star Hailee Steinfeld and later shared (https://www.instagram.com/stories/appletv/?hl=en) on the official ‌Apple TV‌ Instagram account. Steinfeld's announcement is short on detail and simply reveals that ‌Apple Music‌ student subscribers will be able to access ‌Apple TV‌+ "for free" when the service launches this Friday, so we don't yet know if this is a time-limited offer or a permanent deal. We also don't know if it will include the Family Sharing feature that comes with all standard ‌Apple TV‌+ subscriptions and allows six members of a family to access TV+ content from the one subscription. If it is a permanent deal, then it sounds very competitive – ‌Apple TV‌+ costs $4.99 per month alone, so offering students access to the ‌Apple Music‌ catalog as well as all ‌Apple TV‌+ originals for a combined $5 monthly fee would be a big draw. Earlier this month, the Financial Times reported (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/10/07/apple-music-apple-tv-plus-bundle-report/) that Apple was in discussions with record labels about bundling ‌Apple Music‌ and ‌Apple TV‌+ as part of a "super-bundle of media content" for one flat monthly rate. Again, it's not clear if this student-only offer is the first official "super-bundle" of its kind, but we'll update this article as soon as we learn more. To clarify, ‌Apple Music‌ costs $9.99 per month for individuals in the United States, with a $4.99 tier for students and a family plan for $15 per month. ‌Apple TV‌+ will cost $4.99 per month and this tier also supports Family Sharing, so up to six members of a family can access content using the one subscription. In addition, Apple is offering a free one-year subscription to customers who purchase any iPhone, iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/), ‌Apple TV‌, iPod touch (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipod-touch/), or Mac as of September 10 and later. <div class="linkback">Tags: Apple Music (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-music/), Apple TV Plus (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-tv-plus/)</div> This article, "Subscribers to Apple Music's $4.99 Monthly Student Plan to Get Apple TV+ 'for Free' (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/10/30/apple-musics-apple-tv-plus-5-a-month-bundle/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/subscribers-to-apple-musics-4-99-monthly-student-plan-to-get-apple-tv-for-free.2208315/) in our forums <div class="feedflare"> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=tDrNZ8-yQe8:1piaGLz3QSE:yIl2AUoC8zA) <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=6W8y8wAjSf4" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=tDrNZ8-yQe8:1piaGLz3QSE:6W8y8wAjSf4) <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=tDrNZ8-yQe8:1piaGLz3QSE:qj6IDK7rITs) </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MacRumors-Front/~4/tDrNZ8-yQe8" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> Source: Subscribers to Apple Music's $4.99 Monthly Student Plan to Get Apple TV+ 'for Free' (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/10/30/apple-musics-apple-tv-plus-5-a-month-bundle/) |
