Does the Apple TV+ free trial charge you automatically?

Yes. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, Apple TV+ is charged automatically (about about $9.99/month).

Where to cancel the Apple TV+ trial

On iPhone/iPad: Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions > Apple TV+ > Cancel Subscription. On Mac: App Store > your name > Account Settings > Subscriptions.

The trap to avoid

Watch out: Free trials (including device-bundled 3-month offers) convert to a paid monthly charge automatically. The trial period counts from activation, not purchase of the device.

Smartest move

If you got Apple TV+ free with a new device, the clock starts when you activate it — cancel before that 3-month window closes.
