Apple officially confirmed its services bundle at the Time Flies event on Tuesday. As expected, it is called Apple One, and there are multiple tiers available depending on which services you want.
Apple One – Available For Customers This Fall
The Individual plan costs $14.95 per month. It includes Music, TV+, Arcade and 50GB of iCloud stoarge. The Family bundle costs $19.95 and has the same services ad 200GB of storage. For $29.99 per month, there is a Premier tier available. This includes News+ and the new Fitness+ service. Users also get 2TB of iCloud of storage with that option.
There is a 30-day free trial, and the bundles will appear later this year, announced Lori Malm, Director, Services. She gave ‘this fall’ as the timeline. “Apple One makes enjoying Apple subscription services easier than ever, including Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, iCloud, and more,” said Eddy Cue, senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. “With Apple One, you can access the best of Apple entertainment across all your favorite devices with one simple subscription.”
Bundle Could Save Users $25 Per Month
The company says that the Individual Plan will save users over $6 per month, the Family Plan $8 per month, and Premier Plan will save users $25 per month. The top-tier offering is, quite logically, going to be available in countries where News+ is available – Australia, Canada, the UK, and the U.S. Furthermore, Apple Card users get three percent cashback if they use it to make the purchase. A subscription applies across multiple devices – so you can watch, listen, read, or game on any device where the service is available.
Right now I have 2 family plans for 2 TB iCloud storage because I can only have 6 people in my family, but I need my parents on there as well. It would be nice to have a family be a cohort of 10 so you could add mom and dad who wouldn’t otherwise be using such services.
So right now I have 10/icloud 2TB + 10/icloud 2TB + 15/apple music and will be on Apple TV+ for additional 5 by November.
Ideally I would like 30/month for everything but with 10 person family.
But things are what they are.
Let us pick what we want. I don’t care about games so arcade is not wanted. I exercise, but I don’t need or want the Fitness +
Give me a bundle of Music, Apple TV+, News +, more iCloud storage would be okay.
Completely agree. This should offer us a choice. Pick any three and if one choice is iCloud choose your level of storage. Personally not interested in Music or Arcade.
