IF you have an iPhone, a valuable free gift may be waiting for you in the app.
The app unlocks hundreds of top video games and usually costs money – but some iPhone owners may claim a free three-month membership.

Apple Arcade was launched in 2019 and is a paid video game service.
You unlock high-quality and exclusive games that you can play on your Apple devices.
Normally, Apple Arcade costs $6.99 a month, but this free bundle comes with three months of membership worth $20.97.
Even better, it’s very easy to check if you’re eligible.
APPLE ARCADE FREE – DO YOU HAVE QUALITY?
To take advantage of the offer, you must purchase an eligible device.
Apple says this includes “any new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Mac that can run the latest iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, or macOS, from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller.”
You will also need to request a contract within three months of the installation of your new device.
The free offer will not be available if you have previously accepted the three month free offer.
And it’s not available if you’re an existing Apple Arcade subscriber.
You also can’t combine it with the Apple One or any other Apple Arcade trials.
APPLE ARCADE FREE – HOW TO APPLY
To take advantage of the deal, first make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest software.
Next, go to the Apple Arcade app, which should already be installed on your iPhone.
iPhone tricks you can try today
Here are some of the best…
- Type cursor – While typing, hold down the spacebar to turn the keyboard into a trackpad, allowing you to move through words and sentences more easily
- Close all Safari tabs – To do this in one go, simply hold the folded squares in the lower right corner and press close all tabs
- Quickly delete lots of photos – Touch and hold a photo and then swipe diagonally in Photos to select multiple images at once, then tap Delete
- Convert currency quickly – Swipe down from the top of the home screen, then tap the bar and type in the currency (for example €200) and it will automatically convert to your local currency
- Check if you need a battery upgrade – Batteries inside smartphones degrade over time. Just go to Settings > Battery > Battery health and check the maximum capacity reading. A battery is generally considered dead when the capacity is reduced to 80%. If you fall below that, you can purchase a replacement battery from Apple
- Move apps faster – Hold an app until it starts scrolling, then (while still holding) tap other apps, causing them to stack for easier scrolling
If you’re eligible, the offer should appear immediately – tap the alert and follow the instructions to set it up.
It’s important to remember that you will be automatically billed after the free trial period ends.
So, if you don’t want to pay a regular subscription, cancel it ahead of time.
But if you cancel before the free trial is up, you won’t get the full three months, according to Apple.
To avoid being charged, cancel at least one day before renewal.
