I already pay $10 for Apple Music and $10 for iCloud. For $10 more, I'll be able to get access to News+, Fitness+, and a TV so it sounds like it's worth it to me.
Got a tip for us?

iTunes Match has always been included in Apple Music.
You seem to think everyone is like you. I never listen to music, that seems to be a core portion of the cost of the service. Why would I upgrade from my $0.99/mo iCloud Storage to $15/mo for all the extras I wouldn't use?
I wholeheartedly agree. I was doing the math. Only thing I wish was that I as the primary account holder could get the top plan, share the 2TB with the rest of my family, and have my own 2TB iCloud plan on top.
Right now if two of my family members each have storage needs between 200GB and 1TB, and I have storage needs above 1.8TB, they both have to sign up for $10/month 2TB plans.
Apple really needs to add a 4TB plan. Please!!!
I'm in the same boat. I guess we'll have to wait and see if they offer a student discount on the bundles... though I'd think that would naturally preclude family bundles.
It’s not the same. OG iTunes Match replaces your music with non-DRM versions. Apple Music replaces all of your music with DRM versions that you’ll lose access to when you stop paying.
That’s why I still pay $25/year for iTunes Match.
In Continental Europe Apple News is not available and Fitness+ will not be available at launch.
Currently I pay 15 EUR for Apple Music Family and 3 EUR for 200gb iCloud. The new Family bundle will cost 20 EUR, basically giving us Arcade and TV+ for 2 EUR more per month. That's a no brainer for me.

It will be interesting to see if Verizon does anything with this new bundle options as they already include Apple Music for some Unlimited plans. Having that makes it difficult to want to sign up for any of these when I know I'm already in a sense paying for Apple Music through Verizon.
Wow. This is huge. The lower plans have upgradable iCloud storage. This should factor in to the people saying that the storage is too low. It will probably still be a good deal with an added cost.
I already pay For Apple Music and planned on keeping my TV+ subscription after my free trial ends in November so it looks like I’ll be getting Arcade and iCloud at no additional cost.
Does anyone know if they will convert my existing Music/TV subs to Apple One automatically or will I need to choose it?

Why? People are complaining they should get MORE storage at that cost, not that they want to pay even more money
I have family music and 2TB I’m not interested in the other stuff so I wont save anything. Most disappointed.
I think they finally added iTunes Match features into Apple Music, but kept it separate for those who probably don't want to use Apple Music.
I still pay for Apple Music and iTunes Match for the last couple years since they weren't the same. I think they merged the two last year finally.
Do I need iTunes Match if I have Apple Music?
If you have Apple Music, you have iTunes Match. No need to pay twice, but make sure you back up your music collection!

So basically, for Apple music users, $5/month gets you TV, Arcade, and a pathetically small amount of icloud data. That's an ice cold deal.
And if you use the 2TB of icloud account and Apple music family, then $5/month gets you arcade, tv, news, and fitness. The may be a somewhat decent deal for a subset of the people already on family music and 2TB of icloud data.
Anyway, as long the mac has no way to prevent using icloud data while tethered, icloud data is unusable for me so no deal here is useful. I use my mac tethered to my phone for data 90% of the time, and my phone plan gives me 5gb/month and $20/gig in overage fees.

I already pay for Apple Music family and 2TB iCloud for family. I was going to pay for AppleTV+ when my trial ran out. I am on News+ trial and I like that too. The Premier is a done deal for me. I already love tracking my workouts with Apple Watch and now this seems much better than downloading my employers’ fitness center streams on the MS Teams application (or even using YouTube videos).
The premier has my name on it. I’m already subscribed to everything but the fitness service and I need the 2TB plan.
okay, let me clarify...this is a great deal for "PEOPLE WITH A FAMILY!" ok?
Yes, read the article 🤣
”Premier: Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, Apple Fitness+, and 2TB of iCloud storage for $29.95 per month, can be shared among up to six family members”
I was surprised by how good the pricing is. Annoyed that the Premier bundle is, again, shoving News+ down our throats (a service I will truly NEVER use), but Fitness+ seems amazing! Way less intrusive than the live sessions and the virtual mirrors and all of that. I wish they had a stair stepper option just because I’ve always had a very well-made (like, seriously, handcrafted) wooden stair stepper and being able to tie that in with this kinda stuff would be amazing. Oh well, guess it’s time to dust off the ol’ cycling machine and finally figure out why it’s so lopsided
Apple almost certainly knows what’s best for Apple.What I imagine they are doing is pricing it so people who use what I imagine are their most popular services (Music, iCloud, maybe News), and getting them to try The less popular stuff for little additional money.
I already do 2TB, News, and Music. I’ll try arcade and Fitness and TV for free.
My ? too which I can't find an answer to. Same deal for us with AM through VZW. Will they be like Disney and discount the price of AM from the bundle since we already have it paid through VZW?
I'm confident the additional storage options will be competitively priced compared to buying it separately. That's why. Apple is going all in and wants mass adoption of Arcade and TV+.
I agree. I've currently got the family music plan and am paying for 200gb of storage. Neither of those plans is getting dropped anytime soon. That's about $18. I've actually considered going for the 2tb of storage now that you can store anything on iCloud drive. And I wouldn't mind having access to News+ since there are several magazines that I often like to read. I just don't think the prices for the bundles is too unreasonable. If I had a gripe I'd like a bit more flexibility in terms of designing individual bundles.
