Apple Eyes $9.99 Price for Apple TV+ – Report

A free trial for Apple TV+ would follow a typical game plan used by most SVoD services to get people in the door and take a look around. About 58% of US broadband homes that trial an OTT video subscription service convert to paying subscribers, according to Parks Associates.

Apple teased Apple TV+ in March, announcing plans to offer the service on devices outside its own ecosystem that will feature a slate of original series and documentaries, with big names such as Steven Spielberg, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston and Oprah Winfrey.
