Apple TV+ Live Now in India, Around the World: All You Need to Know


Apple TV+ is now live. The iPhone maker's new streaming service is now available in more than 100 countries worldwide. In India, it costs Rs. 99 per month, for you and five family members, after a one-week free trial. (If you bought an Apple device recently, you might be eligible for a one-year free subscription.) Unlike the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, which it's trying to go up against up globally, Apple TV+ only offers original content produced by Apple. That results in a paltry library comprised of less than 10 shows at launch, involving the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Battlestar Galactica creator Ronald D. Moore, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, and Hailee Steinfeld.

Apple TV+ goes live

For what it's worth, Apple is going big with its originals. It has reportedly spent $300 million (about Rs. 2,131 crores) on two seasons of Aniston-led newsroom drama The Morning Show — which also stars Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell — and $240 million (about Rs. 1,705 crores) on two seasons of Knight-created Jason Momoa-starrer post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama See. In total, Apple has reportedly forked over $6 billion (about Rs. 42,635 crores) on Apple TV+ content as yet, still a far cry from what Netflix ($15 billion) and Amazon Prime Video ($7 billion) are investing each year. Beyond those two aforementioned shows, there's the Steinfeld-starrer historical coming-of-age comedy Dickinson, and Moore's alt-history sci-fi For All Mankind, starring Joel Kinnaman

As per the listing on the Vodafone website, the Rs. 219 prepaid plan brings unlimited local and national voice calls to all networks along with 1GB of daily high-speed data allocation and 100 SMS messages p...
