Apple and NBCUniversal are teaming up for a new streaming bundle that gives subscribers access to Apple TV and Peacock at a discounted $14.99 a month.
The "Apple TV and Peacock Bundle," as they are calling it, will be available on Oct. 20. Users can sign up for it through the Apple TV or Peacock apps, or via either platform's website.
There are two variations of the bundle on offer: the Apple TV and Peacock Premium bundle for $14.99 per month, and the Apple TV and Peacock Premium Plus bundle for $19.99 per month. The latter makes Peacock almost ad-free.
These bundles offer savings of up to 30% or $9-10 per month over standalone subscriptions. Apple TV, which dropped the Plus from its name this week, recently got a price hike to $12.99 per month. Peacock, which raised prices in July, now $10.99 per month for Premium and $16.99 for Peacock Premium Plus. For Apple One Family and Premium subscribers, the savings go up to 35% with the Peacock Premium Plus bundle.
If you're unsure whether the deal is worth it, both streamers will offer a free sample of their programming in each other's apps. Peacock subscribers will be able to watch three episodes of Apple TV's Stick, Slow Horses, Silo, The Buccaneers, Foundation, Palm Royale, and Prehistoric Planet, while Apple TV users will be able to watch three episodes of Peacock's Law & Order, Bel-Air, Twisted Metal, Love Island Games, Happy's Place, The Hunting Party, and Real Housewives of Miami.
