## About

Apple's subscription streaming service featuring original movies, series, and documentaries

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria, verified in February 2026. The catalog and show pages browse normally over DSL, but signing in, activating the free trial, and video playback all stall on an endless loading spinner. The team named Apple TV+ among several Apple products in a follow-up to the company in March 2026; no resolution yet.

## Official timeline

- 2026-03-31 — Follow-up Sent. Official follow-up email sent from corporateaffairs@unblocksyria.com to executiveescalations@group.apple.com. Apple TV+ was explicitly named as restricted alongside six other Apple products. The email argued that Apple's own accessible services demonstrate the compliance groundwork is already established internally.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-17 — Verified. Community verification from Syria confirms Apple TV+ remains in a limited state. The website loads normally from DSL — the content catalog, show pages, and promotional banners are all browsable in Arabic. However, attempting to sign in or activate the free trial results in an infinite loading spinner that never completes. Video playback is also blocked in the same manner. The service is partially accessible (browse only) but core functionality (authentication, subscription, playback) does not work.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
