Apple TV+ is the best streaming service starting at $12.99 per month

Apple TV+ is currently the best streaming service, in the opinion of many critics. It’s significantly underrated and, even after the subscription price increased from $9.99/mo. to $12.99/mo., Apple TV offers far better value compared to competitors.‎

I still think that Apple TV+ is the best streaming service available right now… Sure, nobody likes increasing costs, but in Apple TV+’s case I still think the service is worth the cover price – and I certainly won’t be cancelling.

Take a look at the broader map of streaming services, however, which quickly focuses a lens on how much poorer some offerings have become for us all, the customers. Amazon Prime Video, for example, added adverts in early 2024 – and has hugely increased their serving in recent months, which I particularly loathe.

Apple TV+ doesn’t do adverts – and there seems to be no plan to introduce them. I’d much rather pay the extra quid and skip that whole hurdle. Amazon Prime wants an extra £/$2.99 per month to swerve its ads – something I refuse to pay (and which has actively decreased my use of its service, to the point I’m questioning if I want it at all anymore).

Netflix and Disney+ offer a banded approach to their platforms: you can pay less for lower-quality streaming with ads; or you can pay more for higher-quality streams without ads. The top-tier Netflix package, however, is £18.99 / $24.99 per month – around double that of Apple TV+, even after this new price change.
