Great news for Apple-loving cord-cutters: When HBO launches its new standalone subscription service, HBO Now, Apple will be its exclusive partner, and you'll be able to watch using any Apple product.
The service will cost $15 a month, with the first month free, and it'll be available at the beginning of April. This means people will be able to watch Game of Thrones without an HBO subscription when the new season begins April 12.
A trailer for the highly-anticipated season played at the Apple event. Hell yeah, Daenerys:
This confirms earlier reports that Apple TV would be one of HBO's launch partners for the standalone product.
While $15 a month might seem a little steep, it is around the same price that people pay to add HBO to their cable packages, but it lets people who don't care about subscribing to any other channels have a better way to access HBO content.
