How to watch Apple TV on your iPhone with or without an Apple TV Plus subscription
- You can watch Apple TV on your iPhone by downloading the app from the App Store and subscribing to Apple TV+ or viewing third-party content.
- A subscription to Apple TV+ lets you watch anything from classic movies to live sports to your favorite TV shows right on your iPhone.
- Some content is available for purchase or rent on the app outside of an Apple TV Plus subscription.
It's no surprise that an iPhone makes a pretty excellent little television and movie screen, so it only makes sense that another Apple product pairs perfectly with their phones as a media delivery platform.
That, of course, is Apple TV.
When you download the Apple TV app, you can enjoy hours of programming, including new original shows produced just for Apple TV+, when you subscribe to the service.

How to watch Apple TV on your iPhone
To watch Apple TV on your phone, first download the Apple TV app from the App Store.
Now search for the show or movie you want to watch, either by scrolling through Apple's recommendations on the app's home screen, by searching under the "MOVIES," "TV SHOWS," or "SPORTS" buttons at the top, or by using the search tool at the bottom-right of your screen.
Once you find something you want to watch, tap on it. You will now, depending on the content you chose, be prompted to start an Apple TV+ trial or to get the app needed to watch the selected content. 
If you already have the app, you will be given the option to pair it and begin watching immediately.
