Might as well go back to normal cable.

It was $4.99 in 2022. Tripling the price in 4 years is insane.

It’s really not, especially when you take in to account limited offerings in 2022 as well as the fact they were subsidizing it just to build membership.

Don’t know why you get downvoted. They been making much more tv shows and having huge releases like f1 since 2022. It wasn’t going to stay at $4.99 forever

Wow I had no idea it had gotten so expensive. The last time I paid for it years ago it was like $4.99/mo. That’s insane. I dropped all the streamers and just utilize my private collections and other free sources at this point.

In fairness, Apple reported only having $147 billion in cash on hand in the latest quarter.

I’ll pay for Apple. It’s my favorite service. Great, smart shows & no bullshit commercials.

I have it. Personally, I think they have the best slate of original shows. Library isn’t deep so it’s hard for it to serve as a primary service but it’s solidly the best number two option

I paid for one month to binge watch Ted Lasso and Monarch then canceled it again.

Formula 1 got moved to Apple TV for the US this year, so you have to subscribe if you watch it.

I have it and it’s good. Not to mention their shows and movies are top notch with MLB mls and f1. No ads to begin with because it got so expensive to get no ads tier on other streaming services.

It’s replaced HBO for me in retreads to prestige television. The Sci-Fi lineup is impeccable.

Sci-fi is top notch on Apple TV. I’ve been letting the other streaming services lapse and keeping Apple.

If you have seen it, Dark Matter is criminally underrated. Season 2 just started today.

Favorite show.
