On Tuesday (August 12, 2025), United Airlines announced that full seasons of select Apple TV+ global hits will now be available for free on the airline's 130,000+ seatback screens and on the United app, including award-winning shows such as Severance, Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Slow Horses and Silo and more.  While onboard, United guests enjoy thousands of hours of fresh new entertainment content monthly, and the addition of more premium originals from Apple TV+ gives travelers even more options to watch during their travel journey.


In Tuesday’s announcement, United Airlines’ Managing Director – Product, Identity and Loyalty, Mark Muren, said,


“Apple creates groundbreaking original series, and United travelers are going to love watching fan-favorite Apple Originals for free on their next flight.  We’re setting a new standard for a premium inflight experience, and our first-of-its-kind collaboration with Apple TV+ gives fliers more high-quality content options on the latest high-definition seatback screens.”


United has made a series of investments in their IFE experience in recent years, including installing seatback screens in every seat as part of the United Next growth plan, and most recently announcing a new aircraft interior that includes huge, Bluetooth-enabled, 27-inch, 4K OLED seatback screens, the largest among U.S. airlines.  The introduction of Apple TV+ aligns with United’s plans to have 300,000+ screens across their fleet as they take delivery of hundreds of new airplanes, while retrofitting existing aircraft.


United has previously partnered with Apple to launch innovations that help customers and employees, including becoming the first U.S. airline to support Live Activities for iPhone.  This allows customers to get live, personalized flight notifications for details such as countdown to boarding, gate number, seat, bag tracking and more right on their iPhone Lock Screen or Dynamic Island.  Similarly, with Live Activities on Apple Watch, customers can access important flight information right from their wrist.


Additionally, United’s integrated Apple's Share Item Location for AirTag, allows customers who travel with an AirTag or Find My network accessory to seamlessly share the accessory location.  This assists United’s customer service team in helping to locate their luggage in the event that it is mishandled.  United team members are also empowered through the use of use iPhones and iPads, making tasks simpler to complete, communication easier, and flying more enjoyable for guests.
