No news in that article on prices outside the USA.

6 month extended Apple TV trial if you have a Playstation 5 or 3 months via PS4.

True , purely speculation on my behalf but it wouldn’t shock me if the TV went to £6.99 over here that said they would have to massively increase the available content.

It applies to the UK , the new prices are now shown on the Apple TV+ app , Apple Music app and Apple One website.

Just checked and you are indeed correct.

They are going to have to vastly increase their library for that price , we may see some announcements for more content.

They need to vastly increase their library to even justify the original price.

Although not Apple, but just wait til OFCOM tells the fledgeling streamers they need to pony up for bandwidth.

I watched a lot of shows on my 1 year freebie, there's a fair few that are still going and I'll return to watch for a month or two. Foundation for one.

I don’t doubt it but when you are up against so many other services and you are pricing at £6.99 you better have a decent slate of future originals and a hefty back catalogue.

Apple always charge a premium price for their stuff though.

Their services are pretty much on a par with others aren’t they

The problem with this increase for the TV service is that it pushes it nearer the price of Disney + and Prime video both of which have vastly greater back catalogues and produce more new originals a year.

I don't disagree.
