Go to tv.apple.com to watch it on a browser. Or if you have a Samsung smart TV, it supports TV+ as well.

That's weird. I can find it using the web version on my Chrome browser.


Apple TV+ is a very Apple thing, as in it's something only Apple would do. Common sense dictates that if you want to go into the streaming business, you need lots of content to bring in subscribers. That's how Netflix started out, with licenses from almost all US entertainment studios, before they produced their own content. Apple typically chose to do things their way, instead of the easy way, and launched their streaming service with 100% original content. Of course in terms of content they can't compete with the likes of Netflix. Yet.

But the content on Apple TV+ feels...curated. I can see they are prioritising heartfelt character-driven dramas, which happen to be my cup of tea. The latest show I have been watching is Ted Lasso, which I highly recommend anyone who follows English football to watch. It's a comedy full of cliched and caricature-like characters, but there is just the little extra depth to elevate it from generic comedies.

Other gems I found on Apple TV+ are Defending Jacob and The Morning Show. Tehran looks interesting too, although I haven't watched it.

The Apple TV box is not for subscription. It is different from Apple TV+, which is a subscription service for original series/movies produced by Apple. Yes you can use the TV app to watch movies you rented, but are you sure you wanna spend 10 bucks to watch a movie on your iPhone screen?

Rental movies will be available up to 30 days after you pay, and 48 hours after you start playing the movie. You can watch the movie unlimited times within the 48 hour time frame. The payment will be charged to your credit card, not to your phone bill unless any telco is doing some promotion that I’m not aware of.

Yes content on Apple TV+ is very limited at the moment, as the service is 100% original content produced by Apple and they only started last year. So you can’t compare it to Netflix, which has a huge catalog of existing shows/movies. But then again, Apple TV+ is currently free for everyone who bought an Apple device in the past year, and it will continue to be practically free for anyone who subscribes to Apple One.

Apple TV can mean three different things. Screw Apple for making things confusing.

1. Apple TV set box, which is a hardware to be connected to your TV.
2. Apple TV app, which is available on all Apple devices, where you can rent or buy movies.
3. Apple TV+, which is a streaming subscription service that resides inside the Apple TV app. To access the content, the normal price is RM19.90 monthly. This is a totally separate section from the other parts of Apple TV app. Subscribing to Apple TV+ does not entitle you to watch any other movie for free. Vice versa, you can still rent/buy any movie available without subscribing.
