Quality over quantity wins
Ted Lasso, Severance, The Morning Show, For All Mankind - nearly everything Apple makes is excellent. The smallest library but the highest batting average.
Severance alone is worth it
Severance is the best show on any streaming platform. Period. One show can justify a subscription when its this good. Apple understands quality.
Need more content
The quality is amazing but I can watch everything new in a weekend. Need more volume of content to justify keeping it month-round. Binge and cancel temptation.
Cinematography is theatrical
Apple TV+ shows look like movies. The production values and cinematography are consistently theatrical quality. Beautiful to watch on any screen.
Free trial with Apple devices
Getting 3 months free with a new Apple device is generous. Enough time to get hooked on the content and willingly continue paying.
MLS Season Pass is well done
The MLS soccer coverage through Apple TV+ is excellent. Every game, no blackouts, good commentary. The sports expansion is smart.
Lacks a deep catalog
Unlike Netflix or HBO with years of content to explore, Apple TV+ is all new originals. No classic library to fall back on when youve seen everything new.
CODA winning Best Picture says it all
An Apple TV+ movie won Best Picture at the Oscars. The quality of their original films is rivaling theatrical studios. Prestige content from a tech company.
No ads is pure bliss
No ads at any tier. No ad-supported plan to muddy things. Just clean, uninterrupted content. The streaming experience as it should be.
Kids content is limited
A few good animated shows for kids but nothing like Disney+ or even Netflix for children. Families need to supplement with other services.
Slow Horses is criminally underrated
Slow Horses is one of the best spy thrillers in years and nobody talks about it. Apple TV+ has hidden gems that deserve more attention.
Apple One bundle value
Through Apple One, TV+ is basically free when bundled with iCloud, Music, and Arcade. The bundle math makes it nearly costless.
Documentary content improving
Apple documentaries are becoming genuinely excellent. The production quality is there and the storytelling is compelling. Growing documentary catalog.
Interface is clean but sparse
The interface is beautifully designed but feels empty due to the small library. Beautiful restaurant with only 5 items on the menu.
Underpromise overdeliver
Apple TV+ consistently surprises with how good its content is. Low expectations due to small library, high delivery on quality. Pleasant surprise every time.
Spatial audio is next level
With AirPods Max and Spatial Audio, watching Apple TV+ is an immersive experience. The audio production is designed for Apples ecosystem.
Not mainstream enough
The content tends toward critically acclaimed but not widely popular. Few water-cooler shows that everyone is watching. More niche than mainstream.
Foundation is visually stunning
Foundation is the most visually ambitious sci-fi show ever made for streaming. The production values rival big-budget movies. Stunning achievement.
Growing into something special
Apple TV+ is in the investment phase - spending heavily to build a library. The content quality trajectory suggests something special is forming.
Best value per quality hour
Dollars per hour of excellent content, Apple TV+ might be the best value. Small library but almost everything is worth watching. Quality density.
