What? I’ve never seen a single commercial on an Apple TV+ show.
- eek2121 9mo agoSomething like 70% of the comments I've seen on this thread show that either: 1) The user has never owned an Apple Device in their life. 2) They are trolling super hard. There are complaints to be had that I definitely agree with, however, I see a TON of fiction for every single legitimate complaint. No, not an Apple employee, shareholder, etc. (I am broke and dependent on my wife because I am disabled lol)
- manuelabeledo 9mo agoI've been an Apple One subscriber for over three years now. For the past few months, as soon as you open the TV+ app, a Peacock ad starts playing really loud.
- tonyedgecombe 9mo agoI’m wondering what platform you are using TV+ on.
- manuelabeledo 9mo agoAn Apple TV.
- wookmaster 9mo agoSo weird I don’t have anything like that on mine
- manuelabeledo 9mo agoMaybe you’re not an Apple TV+ subscriber, then.
- wookmaster 9mo agoI am
- manuelabeledo 9mo agoThen I don’t know what to tell you. I just opened the app again, and right there in the home section I’m seeing an ad for the Super Bowl in Peacock. If you don’t get that, great, but I’m far from the only one complaining about it.
- wookmaster 9mo agoAll I see is shrinking I. Home and Apple TV page. May e you have peacock linked? I do t use peacock
- tonyedgecombe 9mo agoYou can control what apps are allowed to put trailers in the home screen. It sounds like the OP is complaining about Apple when they should be complaining about Peacock.
- manuelabeledo 9mo agoI don’t have Peacock either. It would be great if folks would stop assuming this is on me and not Apple. There are Peacock ads in the TV app Home Screen, and they are targeted to One Family and Premier subscribers.
- tonyedgecombe 9mo agoWe are assuming it’s you because nobody else sees it nor does it seem to be reported on. Something doesn’t add up.

- izacus 9mo agoAre you not able to think of a simple concept of "maybe the ads are regional" and you need to immediately jump to dumb conspiracy theories?
- manuelabeledo 9mo agoIt's right when you open the TV+ app.
- lokar 9mo agoWeird, there are none when you use the appletv device
- fragmede 9mo agothe promos for other shows are commercials
- tonyedgecombe 9mo agoWhich you can quickly skip past.
- manuelabeledo 9mo agoWhat’s your point, exactly? They are still commercials.
- lloeki 9mo agoTo me there's a very distinct difference between unobtrusive same-service tasteful trailers and entirely unrelated third party ads. I genuinely discovered great series and films that I enjoyed a lot but I would not have watched otherwise (e.g Shrinking). This is true for cinema as well.
- manuelabeledo 9mo agoWhile I agree that third party advertising is not the same as playing trailers from other same platform shows, once you are in the app, these highly promoted shows are really hard to miss, regardless of how many trailers are placed at the beginning of another show. For Shrinking, for instance, they placed an almost full screen, auto play trailer in the main carousel. It is also first in the top ten shows, and it appears in a number of other lists. Regardless of all this, they do play unrelated promotions for their add ons like some sports stuff or the Peacock deal.
- heavyset_go 9mo agoYou haven't seen Apple product placement in their shows? Servant was a walking ad for iPhones and Facetime lol
- alsetmusic 9mo agoThey've had a commercial (trailer) before every show / movie we've watched in the past week. We can skip them, but they are there.
