LG Electronics announced it would be offering a free Apple TV+ streaming service to people who own an LG Smart TV. The promo was unveiled ahead of the Apple TV+ launch that was scheduled for Nov. 4 in South Korea.
LG Electronics said on Tuesday, Nov. 2, that it will be providing Apple TV+ streaming for free, and it will be good for three months. The free offer also serves as a trial subscription, and all LG Smart TV owners in more than 80 countries will be able to enjoy the freebie.
At any rate, starting Nov. 15, owners of LG Smart TV will be able to access Apple TV+ for free and enjoy viewing popular shows for a few months. Customers should note that this offer will only run until Feb. 13, 2022, so it is better to register early to enjoy the free streaming longer.
Moreover, as per Korea Joongang Daily, the South Korean electronics company further explained that while this promotion applies to various countries, only those with LG Smart TV units that were produced between the years 2016 and 2021 will be eligible to claim their free Apple TV+ 3-month free trial.
“Apple TV+, available on all LG Smart TVs, is the first all-original video subscription service and home of today’s most imaginative storytellers, offering an award-winning and inspiring lineup of original series and films including the global hit comedy series Ted Lasso, starring and executive produced by Jason Sudeikis,” LG said in the announcement.
The company added that “New titles debuting this week include Dr. Brain, the first Korean language original series based on the widely popular Korean webtoon by Hongjacga and Finch, starring Tom Hanks marking his follow-up to the global smash hit on Apple TV+ Greyhound.”
Finally, LG Electronic’s head of home entertainment service planning division, Jeong Seong Hyun, said that their offer would allow LG Smart TV users to experience an easy-to-use interface since LG’s smart TVs are designed and made to adapt high-definition content such as the ones featured on Apple TV+.
