Apple Attaching 4-Month Free Services Trials in Best Buy Promotion

Customers who buy select Apple products will get extended trial offers for Apple services, the Best Buy e-commerce site showed Monday. Offers are available to new customers only. IPad customers can get “hundreds” of magazines and newspapers via Apple News+ for four months. The subscription automatically renews for $9.99 per month after trial until canceled. Similar Apple Music four-month free trials are being offered with a wide range of products including MacBook Air laptops, the Apple Pencil, Lightning-to-3.5mm headphone adapters, Apple Watch and AirPod Pro earbuds. Monthly Apple Music subscriptions are $5 for students, $10 for individuals and $15 for families. Bloomberg reported last week that Apple is readying services bundles for launch this fall (see 2008130029).
