Why are you recommending such a circuitous method involving an unrelated phone app when simply trying to access Apple TV in a web browser will lead you to the link to create an Apple ID—whether that browser is on a phone or not?
- AaronFriel 4y agoBecause you can't use that Apple ID to then play TV. You need the Apple Music activated account and trial, so you may as well use the Apple Music app to make it.
- wtallis 4y ago> You need the Apple Music activated account and trial That's obviously not accurate. It may be a sufficient workaround for whatever roadblock you hit, but it certainly isn't a requirement; I've never used Apple Music with my Apple ID and had no trouble obtaining Apple TV+ service. A more reasonable hypothesis is that you need to do something with a brand new Apple ID to establish it's authenticity before you can activate a free trial of Apple TV+, and the Apple Music workaround is but one of many options. What kind of error did you hit when trying to go straight to the TV+ trial with a brand new Apple ID?
