Apple TV+ Rolls Out November 2 In Singapore At S$6.98 Monthly

Apple’s very own digital streaming service, Apple TV+, will launch in Singapore on November 2, as well as over 100 other countries and regions.

Would-be subscribers can sign up for a 7-day free trial, which auto-renews as a monthly subscription of S$6.98 per month. Additionally, those who purchase a new iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac after September 10 will be entitled to a 1-year subscription of Apple TV+, free of charge.

Apple TV+ will be consumable on the abovementioned devices, as well as select Samsung Smart TVs, Roku streaming devices and Amazon Fire TV devices, and on your browser. Future support for LG and Sony devices is currently in development.

Since Apple TV+ will be most likely used by the family via Family Sharing, it will host up to 6 users, with 6 simultaneous streams, all sharing just one Apple TV+ subscription.

The November 2 launch date is about two weeks before the launch of Disney+ (which, even then, won’t be available on the Little Red Dot at launch, oh well).
