So, you've heard about Apple's enticing offer and you're wondering how to redeem 3 months free Apple TV+. You're in the right place! We'll guide you through the process, making it as simple as possible.

Apple TV+ is a premium streaming service offering a wide range of exclusive shows and movies. It's a must-have for any entertainment lover, especially when you can enjoy it for free. But how do you get your hands on this sweet deal? Read on to find out.

Step 1: Check Eligibility

Ensure you're eligible for the offer. Not all users qualify for 3 months free Apple TV+, as Apple extends this offer to select devices and users.

You're in luck if you've recently purchased a new iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple TV, or Mac. With any of these devices bought after September 10, 2019 from Apple or an Apple-authorized reseller, you are automatically eligible for the offer. That's right, you don't have to pay a dime for the first three months of your Apple TV+'s subscription.

But, maybe you're stuck with an old device or you purchased your Apple product elsewhere. Don't fret, there's still a chance for you. Check the "Apple TV app" on your device. If you see the "Enjoy 3 Months Free" banner, you're eligible for the offer. The Apple server often identifies eligible users and displays the banner directly.

It's also important to note that this offer is only available once per "Apple ID" and per "family sharing group". So, unfortunately, you can't redeem the offer again if you've already taken advantage of it in the past.

If you're eligible, count yourself lucky. Next, let's guide you on how to redeem this offer and get you started on your free months of endless, high-quality entertainment streaming.

Now that you've confirmed your eligibility, the next step is to sign up for Apple TV+. Let's dive right into it.

First things first, you'll need to open the Apple TV app on your device. This app comes pre-installed on all modern Apple devices. If you do not have the app, navigate to the App Store, search for Apple TV+, and sprightly download and install it.

Next, after opening the app, click on the 'Enjoy 3 Months Free' banner that should pop up. If it doesn't, don't worry. Follow these steps:

  • Navigate to the Apple TV+ tab
  • Scroll down, the offer will be amidst other subscriptions.
    If you're new to Apple TV+, you'll see a welcome screen with an invitation to subscribe.

Then, click on "Try it free" or "Start your free trial", both options will guide you to register for Apple TV+. Provide the required details and proceed. Note: Ensure you're using your new Apple ID for this process.

Before finalizing the subscription, Apple will ask you for confirmation, click "Enjoy 1 year free" or "Enjoy 3 months free" depending on your eligibility status.

In the final step, Apple will ask for your password to confirm your Apple ID. Type it in, and voila - there you have it. You've successfully created and activated your Apple TV+ subscription, and can now enjoy free content for the next 3 months.

Keep an eye out on the date though, if you're not intending on an extended subscription. Remember the offer is only valid for 3 months, following this, you'll be automatically billed unless you cancel.

Step 3: Choose a Plan

Once you've clicked on the "Enjoy 3 Months Free" banner, you'll be taken to a new screen that says, "Choose Your Plan". This is a crucial step. Your choices matter at this juncture, as it impacts your Apple TV+ experience for the next three months. You'll see two options— Individual and Family. Both offer the same range of content but differ in terms of user accessibility.

The Individual plan is designed for a single user. If it's only you, this plan is a perfect fit. No need to worry about other users interrupting your Apple TV+ experience. Enjoy uninterrupted, high-quality content all by yourself. On the other hand, if there are others in your household who'd also love to dive into the Apple TV+ universe, you'll need to consider the Family plan.

With the Family plan, you can share your Apple TV+ subscription with up to five other people. This is achieved through the Apple Family Sharing feature. And guess what? It doesn't compromise on quality or the viewing experience. Despite multiple users, everyone can enjoy their personalized Apple TV+ content without interference or delay.

To select a plan, simply click on the one that suits your needs. You'll see a checkmark indicating that your selection has been made. And don't forget—no matter which plan you choose, the 3 months free offer remains the same. You get unrestricted access to all that Apple TV+ has to offer, without paying a dime.

Once you've selected your plan, it's time to move on to the next step—creating an account. In this next step, you'll need to provide some information and agree to certain terms. Be assured that this is a standard process designed to safeguard your privacy. After all, Apple TV+ takes user security very seriously.

And remember, this process is only for redeeming your 3 months free period on Apple TV+. Post this period, you'll be charged based on your chosen plan unless you decide to cancel. Bear in mind that the regular pricing for the Individual and Family plans is $4.99 and $6.99 per month respectively. Be sure to keep track of your free period end date to make any necessary changes as needed.

Step 4: Redeem the Free Trial

Now that you're prepared, it's time to claim your free three months of Apple TV+. Start by launching the app on your qualifying device. You'll see a notification, labelled "Enjoy 3 Months Free," if you're eligible. Don't worry if it doesn't show immediately; it sometimes takes a few moments to appear.

Click on this banner. There, you'll find a page with more information about this special offer. Tap on "Redeem now," if you're ready to proceed.

It's critical to pay attention from here on out. As part of the signup process, you're asked to choose between the Individual or Family plan. Don't stress over it. The free offer holds for both plans. It's all about determining what best suits your personal viewing habits.

Upon selection, you'll enter the payment information tied to your Apple ID. Remember, this is a regular practice when signing up for free trials. You won't incur charges while your offer stands. However, if you don't cancel within your three months, Apple will start charging according to the plan you chose.

Here's a quick rundown of the pricing for your reference:

Plan Monthly Price
Individual $4.99
Family $9.99

So, make it a point to cancel if you do not wish to continue with the service post the free period. Make sure you keep track of the end of your free trial period to avoid unexpected charges.

By now, you're almost through the process. Only a couple more steps, and you'll have your free three months of Apple TV+. The next sections will dive further into the sign-up process, so stay tuned.
