As 9To5Mac reports, it's now possible to stream Little America, Servant, For All Mankind, Dickinson, Snoopy in Space, Helpsters, Ghostwriter, and The Elephant Queen without needing to subscribe to Apple TV+. However, you will need to sign in to the Apple TV app, which means you'll also need an Apple ID.
If you're running out of new content to watch on Netflix, Prime Video, etc., Apple TV+ is certainly tempting, especially when you consider there's already a seven-day free trial and then it only costs $4.99 a month. If you're about to purchase an Apple device, you'll get a free year of access, too.
