In a world where it increasingly feels like every good thing has a lot of bad threads attached to it, Microsoft and Apple have teamed up to offer a 3-month free trial of Apple until July 7th. You can imagine our surprise when we found out. TV Plus for Xbox owners.
First spotted by Neowin, the deal was revealed on Microsoft’s own Xbox Wire site. This opportunity exists for both new and continuing Apple TV Plus subscriptions. Users must sign up through Xbox. Microsoft promises, “With no restrictions or hidden fees, you’ll be able to enjoy unlimited entertainment right away.”
Apple device purchases typically include a 3-month free contract if the buyer signs up within 90 days of purchase. Apple offers a one-month trial when bundled with other services like Apple Arcade and Apple Music. For everyone else, it’s a 7-day trial and a $9.99 monthly subscription. But if you’re an Xbox owner, consider this a nice $30 savings just before summer arrives.
Apple TV Plus is one of the smaller streaming services, but it’s hugely popular and has a lot of great shows, including the critically acclaimed Severance and Ted Lasso.Microsoft mentions Argyle, But instead we’ll direct you to Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, the wonderful CODA, or the beautiful Cartoon Saloon animated film Wolfwalkers..
For sports fans, Apple TV Plus exclusively streams Major League Soccer (MLS). Especially recommended for those who still want to watch Lionel’s Lionel Messi in his later years playing for Miami. Friday Night Baseball is also held for MLB fans.
Here are five more Apple TV Plus originals to watch.
slow horse
Slow Horses is a spy thriller starring Gary Oldman as the unsavory Jackson Lamb, a washed-up spy in charge of MI5’s disposal division. Each season is classic British, with just six episodes in each series, and the whole cast has a blast. Season 4 is scheduled to arrive this fall, but it won’t take long to binge-watch this season.
foundation
Although some Isaac Asimov fans may not agree with the changes made to the story in this book, Foundation is a story about a collapsing Galactic Empire and how the decisions of those in power change its decline. This is an impressive drama depicting There are currently 20 episodes of him spread across two seasons.
wolfwalkers
I highly recommend the gorgeously animated Cartoon Saloon’s Wolfwalkers, The third work in the “Irish Folktales” trilogy, which includes “The Secret of Kells” and “Song of the Sea.” The film follows Robin, a young wolf hunter who befriends Maeve, whose mother has disappeared. The girls’ journey leads them into the enchanting world of Wolfwalkers. It’s an absolute visual delight.
on the rock
For a more comedic touch, Sofia Coppola’s On the Rocks stars Bill Murray and Rashida Jones as a father and daughter who become convinced that Jones’ husband is having an affair. I’m chasing. Bill Murray is also charming as the older playboy and absentee father. A smooth cinematic cocktail perfect for a night out.
after party
The two seasons of The Afterparty that exist are interesting, although they haven’t been talked about as much, especially since Apple refused to move forward with a third season. The show is an anthology in which each season focuses on a different main character involved in a murder case. Each episode unfolds from the perspective of a different guest. It’s a show packed with hilarious actors like Sam Richardson, Tiffany Haddish, and Ben Schwartz.
