This makes Verizon the exclusive Disney+ carrier, and it could help Disney+ better compete with Apple TV+, which launches on November 1st. Apple recently announced that anyone who buys an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Mac will get a free one-year subscription to its service. Disney doesn’t have its own hardware to bundle subscriptions with, but this partnership with Verizon might be the next best thing.
You can’t please everyone though. The Verizon-Disney+ deal might frustrate customers who signed up for a three-year Disney+ discount bundle and may have also been eligible for a free year through Verizon. With less than a month until launch, you have to wonder if Disney+ can possibly come up with any more deals.
