It is funny that if you sign up for a 7 day free trial of Apple TV+ that if you cancel immediately before the end of the 7 days your trial is up immediately as well.

But that's a free trial. If you sign up for an Apple TV+ subscription and immediately cancel, it does the same thing as any other subscription.

Free trial is a bit different then what the parent was describing though. Which is paying for a month and turning off auto-renew effectively.

Also applies to 1-year Apple TV trial.
