The Apple TV+ free weekend could cost you dearly


Apple is starting the new year with what seems like a generous offer -- free access to its Apple TV+ streaming service from January 3 through January 5, 2025. With just an Apple ID, viewers can dive into the platform’s entire library on any device that supports the Apple TV+ app.
At first glance, it feels like a no-strings-attached way to explore hits like the superb Slow Horses, Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and Severance. While Apple is certainly not guilty of anything nefarious, is it really that simple?
