Is There a Free Trial for Apple TV+?

Apple users, if you're planning on buying a new apple device soon, such as the iPhone13, or an Apple Watch Series 7, you can even get a 3-month trial instead. Once you've completed your free trial, it'll cost just $4.99 / £4.99 a month going forward.
How to Sign Up for Apple TV+
It's easy to sign up to Apple TV+, just head on over to the website on your phone, laptop, or desktop (see here) and fill out all the revevant details required such as your email, password, and payment details.
Don't worry, you won't be charged until after your 7-day free trial has expired, and it's easy to cancel your subscription before that happens so you don't have to pay anything.
