After a seemingly endless wait, we finally know some of the crucial details of Apple TV+. The service will be cheap!--only $5 a month, or free for a year if you buy a new iPhone or Mac. The streaming service will land on November 1.
By Matthew Belloni • • 4m ListenApple TV+ will only cost $5 a month--far below the price of Netflix and even less than Disney+. When the streaming service lands on November 1, the service could even be free, if you buy a new iPhone or Mac.

There's serious star power attached to series like 'The Morning Show,' but it still remains to be seen if the Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon drama will be any kind of hit.
