Apple TV+ bundle offers CBS All Access, Showtime for $10 per month

By Aaron Mamiit Published April 25, 2023

Apple TV+ subscribers will now be able to access a discounted bundle of CBS All Access and Showtime for only $10 per month.

Apple launched the bundle with a seven-day free trial, allowing subscribers to watch content from Apple TV+, CBS All Access, and Showtime online and offline, without advertisements and on demand.

The bundle is a first for Apple TV+, which previously only allowed subscribers to choose content providers on an a la carte basis. Normally, subscribers have to pay $10 per month for CBS All Access and $11 per month for Showtime.

CBS All Access offers exclusive original series such as Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Lower Decks, shows such as Big Brother and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and content from Comedy Central and Nickelodeon. Showtime, meanwhile, offers original series such as Billions, Black Monday, and Homeland.

Digital Trends reached out to Apple on whether there are more such bundles planned for Apple TV+, but a spokesperson only pointed to the company’s announcement of the CBS All Access and Showtime bundle.

Apple One in October?

The launch of the CBS All Access and Showtime bundle comes shortly after a report that Apple is planning a series of subscription plans that are internally called Apple One.

The subscription plans, which may launch as early as October alongside the next generation of iPhones, will reportedly include Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, additional iCloud storage space, and virtual fitness classes in its highest-end offering.

The Beats Pill is back, baby!

A pair of Beats Pill speakers.

In what's been one of the worst-kept secrets of the year -- mostly because subtly putting a product into the hands of some of the biggest stars on the planet is no way to keep a secret -- the Beats Pill has returned. Just a couple of years after Apple and Beats unceremoniously killed off the stylish Bluetooth speaker, a new one has arrived.

Available for preorder today in either black, red, or gold, the $150 speaker (and speakerphone, for that matter) rounds out a 2024 release cycle for beats that includes the Solo Buds and Solo 4 headphones, and comes nearly a year after the Beats Studio Pro.

Ifi’s latest DAC is the first to add lossless Bluetooth audio

Ifi Audio Zen Blue 3 DAC (front).

Ifi Audio's new Zen Blue 3 wireless digital-to-analog converter (DAC) will officially be available to buy for $299 on July 9. When it is, it will be the first device of its kind to support a wide variety of Bluetooth codecs, including Qualcomm's aptX Lossless, the only codec that claims to deliver bit-perfect CD quality audio over a Bluetooth connection.

Admittedly, there are very few devices on the market that can receive aptX Lossless (and fewer that can transmit it), so it's a good thing that the Zen Blue 3 also works with the more widely supported aptX Adaptive, LDAC, and LDHC/HWA codecs (all of which are hi-res audio-capable), plus the three most common codecs: AAC, SBC, and aptX.

The new Beats Pill might replace Sonos on my back porch

In 2017, after more than a decade in our home, my wife and I added a pool. With it came a covered deck, making what basically was a new outdoor room. Not uncommon at all in Florida, but new to us.
