In-house productions such as “Ted Lasso” in particular make a streaming subscription from Apple interesting, especially since you can save a few euros on the monthly price compared to Netflix, Prime Video and Co. However, the range of series and films is generally poorer than that of the competitors, which is why switching to another streaming service may make sense.
Apple makes it relatively easy for subscribers to cancel their Apple TV+ subscription. However, there are still different termination steps, namely if the subscription is not terminated via an Apple device such as the iPhone, iPad or Mac. TECHBOOK summarizes how to easily get out of your contract again.
Cancel Apple TV+ on an Apple device
Cancellation is particularly easy on the Apple TV itself. There you go directly to the settings menu, then to “Users and Accounts” and [Accountname] and subscriptions. Afterwards, only the subscription to be canceled has to be selected. Now follow the onscreen instructions to change the offer or cancel Apple TV+. This procedure applies equally to the Apple products iPhone, iPad and Mac already mentioned.

Alternative: termination via the Apple website
If the subscription was taken out on another device, this must be canceled directly via the Apple website. To do this, go to the website https://tv.apple.com/de and click the “Login” button in the top right corner. Via the menu items “Settings, Subscriptions and Manage” you can reach the subscription to be canceled, for example Apple TV+. Then select “Cancel subscription”.
Note automatic renewal
As with Netflix, Prime Video or Disney+, it is also possible to cancel monthly with Apple TV+. However, when exactly is different for each customer and depends on the time of booking. However, to ensure that there is no automatic extension, you should note the date in the confirmation e-mail, although in principle it is also possible to cancel immediately after the order has been placed. If it is already clear that you do not want to extend your Apple TV+ subscription, it is advisable to cancel immediately after booking.

Conclusion: Apple makes it easy
Some streaming services like to throw stones in the way of a cancellation or try to keep subscribers on the line by trying to advertise them back on the phone. As an Apple customer, however, you do not fall into such a trap; in fact, only a few short clicks are necessary here. It doesn’t even matter which way the subscription was originally taken out. This is indeed exemplary, especially since you are not tied to a long-term contract.
