Like many Apple fans, I was really excited about the launch of Apple TV+—until I signed up for the 7-day trial.
With all the comparisons between Netflix and Apple TV+, I assumed Apple would offer better content than Netflix. I was thrilled at the idea of getting a Netflix-like experience for just $4.99 a month. But I should have known $4.99 was too good to be true. After all, when has Apple ever been kind to our wallets?
I mistakenly thought that subscribing to Apple TV+ meant access to all the content on Apple TV for a monthly fee. I figured Apple hadn’t emphasized this in their marketing because it was obvious. Surely, they wouldn’t launch a subscription service with just nine shows, right? Wrong. That’s exactly what they did.
Even with an Apple TV+ subscription, I still have to buy movies on Apple TV. Am I the only one who finds this unacceptable?
I’m sticking with Netflix. I’m not that interested in finding new series anyway. I prefer the classic movies from my childhood that I’ve watched countless times. Apple’s original series just don’t appeal to me at all.
Some people say Apple will add more content. If that happens, I’ll revisit the service when there’s actually something new to review. But I’m not paying $4.99 a month now based on promises. Lately, Apple seems to like charging for potential, like they did with the iPad Pro 2018—selling it at a steep price because it *might* run powerful apps someday. Eleven months later, we’re still waiting for those apps.
