How hard is it to cancel Apple TV+?
Apple TV+ scores 79/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in-app.
Apple TV+ can be cancelled online at tv.apple.com or account.apple.com, or via the Settings/App Store app on any Apple device (or iTunes on Windows); third-party subscribers (Google Play, Amazon) must cancel through those platforms. Cancellation must be made at least 24 hours before the next renewal to avoid the next charge, and access continues until the end of the current paid period. There is no automatic refund upon cancellation — Apple's terms state all transactions are final, but users may request a refund case-by-case through reportaproblem.apple.com. No pause or freeze option is available.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
