How to cancel Apple TV before you're charged

  2. Scroll to Subscriptions and click Manage.
  3. Click Cancel Subscription and confirm.

Tips & gotchas

  • Apple recommends cancelling at least a day before the renewal date.
  • If you buy a new iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV, check Settings for a 3-months-free offer — it's much longer than the standard trial.
  • An Apple One trial (1 month, needs an Apple device) also includes Apple TV.
