Seriously? You really believe that's the extent of Apple services? And people not having any agency succumb to Apple?
How about the millions of people finding good value with Apple Music or Apple TV, just to name two services.
Of all the services out there, Apple is by far the best. Maybe not quantity, but definitely the quality. Top notch stuff!
I'm still on the generous 5gb iCloud limit.
I don't pay professional journalists, how dare you? I am content with forums complainers, and drama queens on social media to get my daily dose of negativity.
lol i guess i count as one with my 99 cents 50gb icloud plan. not sure why apple wants to fluff up this number, wall st isn't that easily fooled.
For 12 months?
Does it matter? Services revenue up after a year. This was an earnings call for shareholders.
They're insane numbers for 100% mediocre service offerings!
Where is annual subscription for Apple One Premium? Come on Apple
Not true, for me at least. I subscribed US Apple One Premium just for the sake of getting Apple News. Sure, it needs improvement, but Apple News+ is not a complete trash.
I have the Apple One premier subscription. I find it to be great. And sharing it with up to six family members makes it worth it. I just buy an Apple gift card once a year and the service is all paid for.
After I got a bunch of photos from my family and put them in my photos, I had to get the 1 Terabyte option of iCloud
I do. I thought for a long time that I wouldn't, but it seemed like a reasonable way to get to Wall Street Journal content that's otherwise paywalled and to see what else gets mixed in. It's not great, but for what I want it for (secondary access to a bunch of sources I wouldn't pay for individually) it's not bad.
I wish my ad blockers worked with News+ though... I suspect that's part of the reason so many publishers are willing to bundle together-- they're probably getting a cut of the ad revenue.
Can confirm, I was paid subscriber 859,999,999.
I didn't win the Apple Toaster.

Apple is going to keep the free tier 5GB until that sounds like 5MB. And yeah, we’re not actually that far off from that.
Well I have 6. I assume many people have multiple. And many more just have 50gb of iCloud.
It’s almost as irritating as the way they leap from 200 Gb to 2 Tb in their pricing structure. I know they are a business and there are alternatives, but it still irked me (when I just passed 200 Gb the other day).
I’m guessing a large percentage of this number is people who pay for iCloud storage?
Well it would give the shareholders an idea which services are underperforming and which aren't, no?
Plus it would make great content for MR home page
I intentionally paid for Apple News prior to upgrading my family to Apple One.
