How to cancel Apple TV+free trial before you're charged
Apple TV+ free trials automatically convert to paid subscriptions at $9.99/month when the trial ends. A common mistake is deleting the app — that does NOT cancel your subscription. You must cancel through your account settings before the trial window closes.
