'Apple One' Bundles Introduced With Apple Music, Apple TV+ and More, Pricing Starts at $14.95/Month

[mnsportsgeek]

Very pleased with the pricing. I’ll save $3 and get an added subscription to arcade with the 2nd tier.

I’ll hold off on Premier till I hear some feedback on Fitness+. Hopefully there is a free trial.

 

[dbwie]

I have been paying full price for Apple Music, News, and 200GB storage at about $27 per month, so the Premier is looking pretty good to me.

 

[dugbug]

If you do annual billing the Individual is even less savings though

Music: $99 @$8.25/month
tv+: $49.99 @ $4.17/month
arcade: $49.99 @ $4.17/month
50gb: $0.99/month

Only $2.63 savings

do the one bundles have annual billing options?

 

[CarlyZory]

Is "Premier" part of the Family Sharing? I'm planning on getting that for my Family and me.

 

[tintinUK]

So I‘m assuming iTunes Match isn’t included in this bundle? I wish it was.

I came here to ask the same question. I'm guessing not which is a shame.

 

[boombashi]

Wish you could mix and match services. I don't need Apple TV or music, but am interested in fitness, going from spending $3 a month to $30 isn't going to happen.

You can buy just fitness for $9.99, such drama

 

[mdriftmeyer]

This is a great deal. I already have 2TB iCloud for $9.99, Apple Music another $14, News+, AppleTV+ etc. It's a great deal.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

What would happens to students that pay 2.99 for Apple Music? Do they get a discount?

Sounds like they already get one.

 

[Geckotek]

Family Apple Music is already $14.99, 200 GB storage is $2.99. That's $17.98. The Family tier is no-brainer at that price, especially since we are already paying for Apple News too. (We're on a free trial of Apple TV+.) It would save us money.

If Premier includes Family sharing too, then it's an instant upgrade. It would make iCloud usable for Mac storage too.

It does!

• Premier, where available, includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, Apple Fitness+, and 2TB of iCloud storage for $29.95 per month, and can be shared among up to six family members.

YES! It says on the Apple web site it is.

 

[ThemePro]

I currently pay $134.88 a year for the Annual Apple Music service plus 200GB iCloud Storage. So for only $44.52 more ($3.71 a month), I could also get Apple's walled garden games and Tim Cook's slate of TV shows. Sounds good but no, still not worth it; maybe if they threw in Apple News with it but frankly, those three services aren't doing it for me and no wonder they're trying to bundle them.

 

[JagRunner]

The only thing I use is iCloud Storage and I pay $0.99 a month for 50GB. I don't need anymore yet. Hard pass.

 

[gaximus]

Currently I have:
Apple TV+ $5
Apple Music (Family) $15
iCloud 2TB $10
Total $30

Now I can have:
Apple TV+
Apple Music (Family)
iCloud 2TB
Fitness+
Arcade
News (Don't really care)
Total $30

Seems like a great deal to me.

 

[derekamoss]

I still can't understand their reasoning in making news+ on the higher tier, they should have swapped apple music+ with Apple news on the lower end so people wanting all in one and have apple music already would naturally go with that even if it costs them more. Putting news+ on the higher tier just really doesn't make sense. The only people buying the upper tier would be people with an Apple Watch really and people who already have apple music and with them already paying a sub for Apple music might be inclined more to find value in an all one sub which they still have apple music plus and now a bunch of services they wouldn't have got in the first place... But what do I know.

 

[dwaltwhit]

It suits my family needs and will save me some money. I think there are people who this will not be a value to and that is ok. Not everyone can be the target demographic. This time at least I am.

 

[Mac Rules]

That pricing is terrible and the storage! I couldn't believe when he actually said 50Gb on the lowest tier.

That's a hard pass from me, I'll keep paying for my miserly 200Gb for the foreseeable.

 

[ugahairydawgs]

My family is already spending $9.99 for 2TB iCloud storage and $14.99 for Apple Music, so going to the premier plan is a no brainer for us since we were already going to want to do the fitness service too. Good value for us.

 

[boombashi]

Is "Premier" part of the Family Sharing? I'm planning on getting that for my Family and me.

It's not clear in the story, but that has to be the case considering the Family Plan is lower tier (they wouldn't remove features for the higher tier). Others have agreed.

 

[i'm the mac daddy]

Currently I have:
Apple TV+ $5
Apple Music (Family) $15
iCloud 2TB $10

Now I can have:
Apple TV+

Arcade
News (Don't really care)
Total $30

Seems like a great deal to me.

Yeah it's a no brainer if you have 2TB, Family Music, and Apple TV+. I really want News+ to be good, but damn it's annoying how hard it is to find magazines on there.

 

[iGeneo]

I'll have to ponder this... I'm Music and News+ at the moment, plus $2.99 for 200GB. Don't really need the additional space. So basically paying $23 a Mo. I'll buy a new phone in Oct/Nov, so does that give me ATV+ or will I need to pay the $5? If not, I'd be at $28... is fitness and arcade worth the extra $2? Likely so.. but if ATV+ comes with new phone, is it worth the extra $7?

I'll probably do it

The family plan works for my situation. It will be $2 more than I pay now (Apple Music + iCloud) but Apple TV and Arcade might be worth it for the extra cost.

The Premiere is the best deal though.

The trick is to load up on 15% off iTunes gift cards (sometimes 20% off and very rarely, even more). That makes the family plan cost $17 per month and the premiere $25.50 (or less).

Unfortunately they changed their gift cards....you wont see those discounts any more is my guess...but if you had bought a tonne of gift cards, you can now use them to buy Apple hardware, which you previously coud NOT do!

 

[pup]

For us, premier will cost the same as we already pay, so we'll essentially get news, fitness and arcade for free. Thumbs up.

 

[tintinUK]

I came here to ask the same question. I'm guessing not which is a shame.

Actually, doing a quick search suggests that iTunes Match is included in the Apple Music sub (?) I always thought they were entirely separate things.

 

[AtomicDusk]

Just an FYI that you can share iCloud storage with your family. Probably already know that but just in case.

Yeah, we signed up independently and never got around to consolidating. haha! But thanks for the heads up!
