With high-profile projects featuring some of the top names in entertainment, Apple TV Plus is one of the most prestigious subscription video streaming services rolled out in recent years. Apple TV+ can easily stream content like "The Morning Show" and "Oprah's Book Club" on Apple devices ranging from the Apple TV to iPhone to your Mac.
The video-on-demand service costs a relatively affordable $4.99 a month after the seven-day free trial period has ended. Apple TV Plus subscriptions also renew automatically, meaning you won't be prompted to cancel if you've been thinking about it. Luckily, the subscription is a month-to-month service and can be ended at any time.
For those who purchased the base subscription, you can cancel any time after your most recent renewal date — but before your next one — and keep your access to all Apple TV Plus has to offer for the remainder of your current billing cycle. If you're still in your trial period or have a discounted subscription, make sure you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends so you aren't charged.
Whether you're unimpressed with the content library or simply done taking advantage of a free trial, you should know how to cancel if you need to.
Here's how to do it.
