My Apple TV+ free subscription is due to end only in February 2021, if I sign up to Apple One will they discount Apple TV+ off the Apple One billing?
Got a tip for us?

Got it, no refunds, but I was doing storage and apple music family monthly. It says I have the month free, so it really two weeks (as I've paid to 18th Nov anyway). Not going to quibble. I've got TV+ and Arcade into the bargin.
Now who's for a game of What the Golf ?

I don’t want to really mess with it though. Have lots of stuff not in iTunes or Apple Music and too weary of it being screwed up if i canceled iTunes Match.
You could be right. But that was my understanding of what’s different between them.
No, iCloud storage cannot be used for backups of Mac devices (if that's what you mean when you say HD), only iOS devices.
Same, but now I'm suspicious if I've been throwing away twenty bucks a year
You and me both. Lol. But getting that erased would suck big time for me. It’s a lot of uploading over years.
No. You can literally watch the Music app upload the tracks to Apple Music. I've got some random live recordings, rare b-sides. Stuff that has never been offered on a digital platform.
I would guess that most people’s intent with Premier isn’t just for fitness. Most people are likely already paying close to $29.99 for their existing services and are just getting the rest for free now. I really have no intention of using fitness+. However, I was already paying $30 for arcade, music, and iCloud storage so I essentially got News+ and fitness+ for free.
Why does the fine print read, "Your existing subscriptions are not eligible for trial"? Seems like Apple should either prorate, or start your One subscription when your existing services expire. But, then they might expire at different times...blah, blah, blah...
Proration is the best answer. But, whatever.
The difference is, if I remember right, I looked into it years ago is this. If I have Match and download the tracks you uploaded or matched they will download without DRM. If you download anything with Apple Music you get DRM, whether it was matched or not. Can't remember what happens with unique stuff you uploaded.
This is the question i was looking to have answered thus it makes sense to have both apple music and iTunes Match. Someone said in another thread, the only difference is that with Music you get a DRM version of the song and with Match you get a non-DRM version? However if I am reading what you are saying correctly, for music or any audio files that is not in Apple Music, iTunes Match is required for it to upload?
I'm sticking with the Get More Unlimited for a myriad of reasons, but they still offer Apple Music in perpetuity on that plan.
Here is the explainer I remember using years ago when trying to figure out the match thing.

For what its worth, I remember cancelling Match. Since I kept local backups of the unique stuff I had uploaded anyway. Nothing was removed from my library. If you are ok not being able to retrieve your uploaded tracks from Apple Music if you cancel your sub you can remove Match without fear.
Its kind of a waste of money unless you have a very specific reason to keep it.
How iTunes Match and Apple Music work together
Don't understand how iTunes Match, Apple Music, and iCloud Music Library work together? Here are the differences of these music services from Apple.

Do you think if you paid for the full year of Apple Music it will get refunded too?
Thank you so much for posting this. That was my dilemma as well.
But you only get that year of free Apple TV+ once. I didn't get another year when I upgrade to a new phone this year.
Nope. It wouldn’t save me money, it would cost me more! But I am sincerely happy this works for others.
Check Settings > your Apple ID > Media & Purchases > Purchase History.
Refunds are listed in here along with charges.
I can speak from experience that my entire year of Arcade was refunded (about 5 months into it). Not sure if Music will be handled the same way.
It didn't work!
I chatted to Apple, they advised I had to cancel it on my AppleID and only use the original AppleID.
I did this and the minute I did, my current iCloud Storage has stopped working for me so I can't send any emails and my storage is full with 0KB available.
Argh....
