Midway through your free year of Apple TV+, will you pay up in November?

When Apple TV+ launched in November 2019 it came with a free year for anyone who bought an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV. Coming just after a big iPhone launch that means there are tons of people out there whose free year will be coming to an end this coming November. And that's when they'll have a decision to make – pay for Apple TV+ or cancel it completely.

That could be an interesting decision for many. Me included.

Apple TV+ has had a decent start to life. Not excellent by any stretch and I'd argue that there's only one, maybe two must-see shows right now – "For All Mankind" and "Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet" in case you wondered. If you've already seen those and nothing else tickles your fancy, why pay?

It's possible Apple will have the second seasons of big shows ready to drop just in time for November, enticing people to pay up so they can see what happens next. But the coronavirus pandemic has likely impacted that considerably with filming coming to a halt. That in turn means people might be left deciding whether the promise of new content is enough to make Apple TV+ a viable option. When there's so much competition in the marketplace, is that enough?

I still haven't decided what I'll do come November, but I wanted to know what you folks think. Will you pay up when Apple TV+ comes calling?
