APPLE TV+ has plans to roll out a cheaper version of its streaming service.
Launched in 2019, Apple TV+ is a subscription streaming service offered by Apple.
Currently, the service sets subscribers back $9.99 per month or $99 for the year.
But now, the company is working on an ad-supported version that could cost users less.
A report from Business Insider notes that Apple has hired former NBCUniversal executive Joseph Cady to spearhead the initiative.
If Apple successfully executes the new version, it will join a long list of streaming services that offer ads.
Most recently Amazon Prime introduced ads on Prime Video at the end of January.
The move was met with resistance from many Prime subscribers, who shared that they canceled their membership as a result.
And to evade the advertisements, Prime asked users to pay $2.99 per month on top of their subscriptions.
However, because Apple is decreasing its fees in exchange for advertisements, it might see some success, experts say.

It’s not clear what the new pricing system would look like if the new version does roll out, or when this would be available.
OTHER WAYS TO SCORE APPLE TV+
If you don’t want to pay anything for Apple TV+ but still want access to the service, you can get it for free as a new or existing T-Mobile or Sprint customer.
T-Mobile users can get the no-extra cost perk as long as they have a Go5G Next or Go 5G Plus plan.
Or, they can get the Apple service free for 6 months with the Go5G plan.
Meanwhile, Sprint customers are eligible for the service through Sprint MAX and Sprint ONE plan.
APPLE TV+
Apple TV+ contains both original content and acclaimed movies and TV series.
Some popular film titles include Oscar-nominated films like Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, and The Wolf of Wall Street.
Meanwhile, some popular TV shows on the platform include Avatar, Yellowstone, and Walker.
