Hey, if I get this device, I don’t have to pay a monthly subscription, right? (alien.top)

Like, I should be able to use the device to watch YouTube and Max and stuff.. but I shouldn’t be charged to use the streaming device, right?

A subscription is needed to use Apple TV+, which is a streaming service.

No subscription needed to use the device. You paid for it already.

Just to be clear. The device is named AppleTV. There’s also an AppleTV+ app that’s a streaming app just like Max. Subscription required. Might be dumb to point this out but I’ve seen people on this sub think ATV and ATV+ are one and the same.

Apple is usually good about naming things but they really failed here.

Kind of like how everybody conflates Apple Pay with Apple Pay Cash.

What streaming device charges you to use it?
