Today, we have seen how HBO increased its monthly prices on current subscriptions, which has resulted in many people starting to complain, since, little by little, we have seen how something that was affordable, begins to hurt month by month.
In this article, we will see the pros and cons of Apple TVa platform similar to HBO or Netflix, but with advantages that make many people switch and give it a chance, which could boost Tim Cook's company a lot.
Reasons to choose Apple TV
In this case, the news is due to the price increase of HBO, but Netflix or similar, have a very similar price and cons, compared to Apple TV, so these pros could be used to compare it with any of its competition, and although there are only 3, for me, they are the most important:
- Absence of advertising: None of the Apple TV plans have advertising, neither before, during nor after. The company takes this very seriously, and if you access its platform, you will only enjoy the content, without interruptions and banners or videos that do not interest you everywhere. If you want this in others, you will end up paying more.
- Cost and family sharing: The price of a monthly subscription is 9.90 euros. However, unlike others, Apple allows, legally and without restrictions, to share your plan with 5 other people in the company's “Family” group, so we would be charged 1.66 euros per month to watch all the series and movies we want, each with their own profile.
- Free trial and extra months: Among the pros of Apple TV, we find a free trial for 7 dayswhich allows us to browse its catalog and watch any series or movie without paying, to later renew the plan if it convinces us. Furthermore, if we buy a product like an iPhone or the Apple TV device, they will give us 3 extra months at no cost, which we can also share with the family, so if we all acquire new equipment, we would never pay anything.
Furthermore, while platforms like HBO don't allow you to go above 1080p if you don't pay extra, Apple has most of its original productions available on 4K HDR with support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, totally free, without having to pay more to improve quality. Small details that are appreciated, even though we do not have a screen compatible with this resolution.
And you, have you already tried this platform? Do you think it is worth paying double or triple to watch others like HBO or Netflix? The truth is that, over the last year, Apple has greatly improved its catalog, and it is not the same as it was a long time ago, so many users who are giving it a try end up replacing their subscription with this one, so we encourage you to try it and leave us a comment with your rating. It's free, you don't lose anything.
