T-Mobile is going through some big changes, especially with the recent arrival of its new CEO, Srini Gopalan. He took charge in November, and one of his first announcements is the new Easy Switch feature. This tool is designed to make it much simpler for customers to switch from their current carrier. With the T-Life app, signing up with T-Mobile can now take just 15 minutes. Plus, you can enjoy same-day delivery for your new phones—pretty impressive!
However, it’s not all sunshine. As reported by The Mobile Report, starting in 2026, T-Mobile will begin charging customers for Apple TV, a perk that many have enjoyed for free. This shift is part of a broader trend in the streaming service market, where prices are climbing. For instance, Apple TV’s monthly fee recently increased from $10 to $13, reflecting its attempts to provide valuable content while managing costs.
As of the new year, T-Mobile customers with plans that include Apple TV will notice an added charge of $3 each month. This change could spark mixed feelings among users. Some might see the $3 charge as a small price to pay for access to exclusive shows and sports. Others, however, may feel disappointment at losing a free perk.
If the fee doesn’t sit well with you, there is an option to opt-out. You can easily remove the Apple TV feature by logging into your account on the T-Mobile website or through the T-Life app—just make sure to do it before the new year begins. Until then, eligible customers can still enjoy Apple TV at no cost.
