I think more of the point of Apple News + is the magazines. I subscribe and every time I think about killing my sub I find myself reading a magazine article I wouldn't have been able to without the sub. Weird how that works.
You just said a mouthful. Look how stingy Apple is on iCloud! OUCH! I stored nearly nothing on iCloud but pics and it's been full for an entire year and said F U to Apple!
Don’t know how much it will cost, but it’ll be a penny short of a whole dollar amount.
I'm already paying for Apple Music and 2TB iCloud and still on my free Apple TV+ subscription... I'd rather pick and choose what I can bundle.
Not sure where you live but it's only $9.99/month in Canada for Apple Music.
Why not include iCloud Drive in the bundle?

Is Apple Music Student Plan is bundled with Apple TV+ still for $4.99. I just hope they don’t rank up the prices.
Considering all I pay for is Apple Music, this isn’t for me.
Curious to learn how Apple One will address aspect like family pricing/sharing and iCloud storage levels.
Of the subscription services available to me in the UK I’m using Apple Music, Amazon prime, Netflix, BritBox, Apple TV+ and have a 200gb storage account on iCloud. I have no interest in Apple News of any form having gone back to an RSS reader because of the ads in Apple news.
I’ve not watched more than two shows on Prime since The Man in the High Castle finished and nothing on Apple TV+ since the end of For All Mankind so they can go. Which says to me that I’m not the target of any bundles, unless of course iOS backup becomes more like TimeMachine and there’s a decent iCloud, Apple Music and Apple TV+ subscription model to keep me interested...

Think he mistook the Family Plan for $14.99 versus the Individual Plan for $9.99.
I'm right there with you and finding a lot of people are in the same market content.
Apple Music, Apple TV+, iCloud Storage seem to the the most used/popular with Apple TV+ being the "meh" (I could see people keeping it if the bundle is worth it).
I already get Apple TV+ and Apple Music for $5 a month on apple music student. news thing is kinda useless
Yes, Apple Music includes iTunes Match. Saves me $25 a year.
Argh! I wish I'd checked that out sooner. I knew they overlapped but honestly forgot about iTunes Match as I've been using it for so long but less now as I have 256GB on my iPhone 11 Pro and rarely download on the fly. Thanks for confirming this!
What?! So I’ve been paying for iTunes Match for nothing? Why didn’t Apple make this known when I subscribed to Apple Music and even cancel it? Would Apple give a refund for all the years I’ve been subscribed to both?
Definitely use family sharing. Apple Music is cheaper having the family plan than individual subscriptions. Both your music will stay the same as your own as if you had 2 separate subscriptions. The same with News+, TV+, etc. Whatever different apps/iTunes media you both have, you'll have access to it, but you have to go to the sharing section to access it. So you can have only what you want, not forced to have everything the other person has.
As for iTunes Match, I didn't know that's included in Apple Music until now. So I've cancelled that and asked Apple for a refund (which I doubt I'll get).
As for AppleTV+, I doubt it will be free every time you buy an Apple product every year. Sounds like you can go for a bundle that doesn't have Apple TV+ now, then change the bundle to include Apple TV+ in February 2021 (assuming there is a monthly payment option for the bundle).

I didn't know iTunes Match is included in Apple Music, otherwise I wouldn't pay for both. And this has nothing to do with being charitable, it's about not making it at all clear that I'm paying extra for something that is already included in something I have.
Dang. I’m a Spotify user currently, and don’t use Match right now but it would certainly loosen up some drive space on my computers. This offering is tempting.
I subscribed to both without realising too. However, I realised that my library was completely mucked up after I stopped subscribing to Apple Music (even though I resubscribed to iTunes Match before ending my music subscription). My library was such a mess, with tracks I owned marked as DRM, missing tracks and numerous errors, that I had to start over from backups. While I might be tempted by a combined subscription at some point, I would rather keep my personal library and my subscribed music service separate to avoid library issues.
Regarding the rumoured bundled collections, I think it's a bit strange to assume someone that everyone that wants News+ would want Arcade too.
