Step-by-Step Guide (only Apple-User): YouTube Premium cheaper via Apple iTunes Turkey
Important things first:
- This guide only works if you have an Apple tablet or smartphone. Unfortunately, it does not work on Mac computers as there is no YouTube app for Mac.
- You need to create a new Apple ID (location: Turkey) and log in with it on your device. After completing the YouTube Premium subscription, you can log back in with your normal Apple ID. Nothing will be lost (no apps, subscriptions, etc.)!
- Only the billing is done through the Apple ID. You can continue to log into your YouTube account from any device as usual with the email address registered with YouTube.
- Apple charges a 30% commission on all purchases and subscriptions made through the App Store. Many providers (including YouTube) pass these additional costs onto their prices, resulting in higher prices for apps and subscriptions on the App Store. For example, the YouTube single subscription costs $ 2,40 through the AppStore (Turkey). The family subscription costs $ 4,89.
How to geht YouTube cheaper:
Step 1: Create a new Apple ID
- Open the Apple ID creation page.
- Enter the required information and select "Turkey" as the country. Note: You do not need a Turkish VPN to set up the new Apple ID.
- Please enter a phone number. This number may be from a country other than Turkey and may already be associated with another Apple ID.
- If you receive the error message "The Apple ID cannot be created at this time" when creating your Apple ID, try repeating the process. Sometimes it works right away, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 attempts. We cannot say why this happens.
Step 2: Log in with your new Turkish Apple ID
- Open the App Store on your device. Click on the icon with your initials in the top right corner. Scroll down and sign out of your current Apple ID.
- Log in with your newly created Turkish Apple ID.
Step 3: Buy an Apple gift card that is valid in Turkey

- Everything remains as if you never signed out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Since we keep receiving the same questions, here are the most frequently asked questions.
No one can say for sure. However, the trick has been working for at least 10 years with many other Apple apps (with in-app purchases), and since Apple (not YouTube) is responsible for billing, we assume it will hopefully continue to work for a long time.
Yes! Nothing changes! All data remains intact. Apps purchased with the original Apple ID will remain installed and usable on the device. Switching the Apple ID in the App Store does not affect the data linked to your iCloud ID. Your photos, contacts, notes, and other iCloud data will not be affected by this process unless you sign in with a new Apple ID in the iCloud settings.
No, unfortunately, there is no YouTube app for Mac computers.
No!
No! You can pay using an iTunes gift card.
No, you don't need a new/Turkish phone number. You can use your German, American, etc. phone number to create a Turkish Apple ID. It can even already be associated with another Apple ID.
The message "Apple ID cannot be created" can appear for various reasons. Here are some common causes and possible solutions:
- Try creating the Apple ID via this page (top right: Create your Apple ID) and this page (Sign in -> Create Apple ID).
- Use a different email address (from another email provider).
- Try using a different device to create the Apple ID.
- Try using a different IP, e.g., by switching to Wi-Fi/mobile internet.
- Sometimes, server issues at Apple can interrupt the Apple ID creation process. In this case, it's worth trying again later.
- Apple only allows a limited number of Apple IDs to be created on a single device. If you've already created several Apple IDs on the same device, this error message may appear.
- If you're using a VPN or proxy, it might interfere with the connection to Apple's servers. Please disable it!
- Sometimes, a short wait is enough.
No, you don't need to create a new account. You can use your existing one, regardless of whether you've already had a Premium subscription in Germany, etc.
Each Apple ID requires a unique email address. This means that if you want to create a second Apple ID, you'll need a new email address that hasn't been linked to another Apple ID. You can create a new email address with a provider like Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, or another email service.
In this case, the Premium subscription will not be renewed, and you'll receive a notification that your balance is insufficient.
We can only recommend that. Then you won't forget, and the higher value gift cards are usually much cheaper. Additionally, we notice that the gift cards are becoming more expensive and sold out more frequently from week to week.
Downloading and purchasing an app through a foreign Apple Store, such as using a Turkish Apple ID as a American user, falls into a legal grey area. In theory, this could lead to the Turkish Apple ID account being suspended. However, no cases have been reported where this has led to any consequences. From a criminal law perspective, there is no need to worry.
To cancel a YouTube subscription that you signed up for through the Apple App Store, tap on your profile picture or name at the top of the App Store to open the Apple ID settings. Select the option Subscriptions. Find the YouTube subscription in the list and tap on it. Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm the cancellation.
Yes, but Apple charges developers and providers a commission of up to 30% for purchases made through the app ecosystem. To cover these costs, many services, including YouTube, increase prices for subscriptions made through the App Store.
