Just because you own an Apple TV does not mean you have an Apple TV+ subscription. Similar to an Amazon Fire TV Stick or Roku, Apple TV is a media player used to stream on different devices and products. Apple TV+ is a streaming subscription service like HBO Max or Netflix.
On Apple TV+ you can stream popular and original content including shows like “Black Bird” staring Ray Liotta and “WeCrashed” staring Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto.
However, if you have subscriptions to multiple streaming services, your bills may be adding up, and you might want to cancel your Apple TV+ subscription.
