In this article we will show you how you can cancel the Apple TV 1 year free trial and prevent yourself from getting charged recurring $4.99 monthly fees for the service.
Last year Apple announced that it will offer a free 1 year subscription to anyone buying a new device. Anyone who buys a new iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV or Mac is eligible to get free 1 year access to Apple TV+.
Since it has been almost a year since Apple started the promotion the time will eventually come when your Apple TV+ one year free subscription will expire, at which point you will be charged $4.99 per month. For example in my case my subscription expires on November 1st, 2020. This essentially means On November 1st I will be charged $4.99 through my Apple account. The charge will be made automatically unless I manually opt out of Apple TV+ subscription and cancel my free trial before that date arrives.
If you’re like me and want to cancel Apple TV+ subscription before getting charged, then you have come to the right place.
