Original productions like “Ted Lasso” make an Apple streaming subscription appealing, especially since you can save a few dollars on the monthly price compared to Netflix, Prime Video, and others. However, the overall selection of series and films is more limited than that of competitors, so switching to another streaming service might be a sensible option.
Apple makes it relatively easy for subscribers to cancel their Apple TV subscription. However, there are different cancellation steps if the subscription is not terminated via an Apple device like the iPhone, iPad, or Mac. TECHBOOK summarizes how you can easily get out of your contract.
Cancel Apple TV on an Apple Device
Canceling on the Apple TV itself is particularly easy. Go directly to the settings menu, then to “Users and Accounts,” [Account Name], and Subscriptions. Then, simply select the subscription you wish to cancel. Follow the on-screen instructions to change the offer or cancel Apple TV. This procedure applies equally to the previously mentioned Apple products iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Alternative: Cancel via the Apple Website
If the subscription was taken out on another device, it must be canceled directly via the Apple website. To do this, visit https://tv.apple.com/de and click the “Sign In” button at the top right. Through the menu items “Settings, Subscriptions, and Manage,” you can access the subscription you wish to cancel, such as Apple TV. Then select “Cancel Subscription.”

Note Automatic Renewal
As with Netflix, Prime Video, or Disney+, it’s possible to cancel Apple TV monthly. However, the exact timing varies for each customer and depends on the booking date. To avoid automatic renewal, pay attention to the date in the confirmation email; in principle, immediate cancellation after ordering is also possible. If it’s already clear that you don’t want to renew your Apple TV subscription, immediate cancellation after booking is advisable.

Conclusion: Apple Makes It Easy
Some streaming services like to put obstacles in the way of cancellation or try to retain subscribers with phone call offers. As an Apple customer, you won’t fall into such a trap; only a few quick clicks are necessary. It doesn’t even matter how the subscription was originally taken out. This is indeed exemplary, especially since you are not tied to a long-term contract.
