One of the more surprising aspects surrounding the launch of Apple TV+, Apple's new video streaming service, is the price. At $4.99 a month, it costs a lot less than many people were probably expecting. Throw in the free year with a new Apple device, and it's certainly worth trying out. What's more, that $4.99 or free year apply not just to individuals, but whole families, so long as you're using Family Sharing.
If you have Family Sharing set up, up to six members of one family can share an Apple TV+ subscription while still maintaining their own Apple ID. That way, parents can keep up with a more adult-oriented show like For All Mankind, while kids can check out Ghostwriter or The Helpsters, without mixing up one another's Up Next lineups or recommendations.
