Apple TV + available for free via Canal +: this hidden condition that subscribers did not see coming

The Apple TV+ streaming service, which offers many films and series, is now offered to millions of Canal+ subscribers, but there is a surprise! A hidden condition has been pointed out by some Internet users.

Canal+ subscribers can now see even more series and films. Since April 21, 2023, Apple TV+ content has been available free of charge to subscribers to the encrypted channel. This masterstroke follows an agreement announced on April 13 via A press releasewhich specified that viewers will be able to easily access movies and series from Apple TV+ “directly via their current decoder, without any other subscription or application“, or via the application myCANAL.

Canal+ offers the award-winning Apple TV+ service only for 12 months

Apple TV+ hopes to reach more French households. At present, as a reminder, the Canal+ fleet exceeds 9 million subscribers in France, and reaches 25 million in total around the globe. “This is an incredible offer for CANAL+ subscribers“, commented Eddy Cue, Senior Vice President of Services at Apple. On the one hand, Canal+ is strengthening its influence as a content and service aggregator, and on the other, this win-win relationship allows Apple to boost the audiences of its productions. However, there is one detail that has escaped many subscribers: this offer will actually only be valid for twelve months. After this period, Apple TV+ will disappear from subscriptions, unless the person wishes to subscribe to the service. A condition that went unnoticed and for good reason: some Internet users have noticed it in small print on billboards.
