Although today, the rates of Unlimited data They are more popular, many people continue to use a plan with a fixed number, which makes, in this type of circumstances, adapt consumption is very important, not to pass in a week.
Today, let's see how much the Apple TV+ applicationeither watching a series, film or documentary, because it will not depend so much on the content, but on the quality of this. In addition, a trick to be able to limit that consumption, but to continue seeing it whole.
How much consume Apple TV+
The first thing to be clear about, is the quality to which we are reproducing a content, since it will not be the same as pixelated, due to the coverage we have at that time, to be in a 5G network seeing it at the highest quality. However, assuming that we have not touched anything, and that we always have the best coverage, to put ourselves in the worst case, a film or series could consume the following.
| Quality | Data per hour | 2 -hour movie |
|---|---|---|
| SD (480p) | ~ 1 GB | ~ 2 GB |
| HD (720p) | ~ 2-3 GB | ~ 4-6 GB |
| Full HD (1080p) | ~ 4-6 GB | ~ 8-12 GB |
| 4K HDR | ~ 7-10 GB | ~ 14-20 GB |
As we said, this will be in the worst case, however, it could happen to you. That is, if the movie we see has 4K option, and we do not deactivate its limit, it is likely that, in a 1 hour and a half film, we have consumed about 10 GB, a real barbarity.
In the case of 1080p, something more normal in most of them, and that many times, despite being 4K, our network speed makes it chosen by Apple, we could go to about 6 or 7 GB per film, something that, although assumable in most rates, could mean much of the use of it.
How to limit your expense
The iPhone itself has a personalized adjustment in its TV app, as it is native to these, where we can choose an option that reduces spending quite drastically. To do this, we will do the following:
- Open the “Settings” app On your iPhone or iPad.
- Show down and touch “TV”.
- Look for the section «Streaming in mobile data».
- Select “Data savings”.
When doing this, we will reduce data consumption to less than 1 GB per hour, which will lead us to spend about 1.5 GB for a movie, much less than what was seen above, especially if we are going to visualize it on an iPhone, where quality, despite being somewhat lower, to save that data, it will not be noticed, since the screen is smaller than in an iPad, or sharing data with your TV.
And you, did you know this? Did you know that Apple TV+ Could it consume so much? This is the reason why a good Wi -Fi bandwidth is recommended, since, 2 people watching a 4K movie on different devices, they could limit network speed, especially if we do not have a good rate.
