Yikes, glad I waited... I have Apple Music and Apple Arcade already, plus a 50GB storage plan and free Apple TV subscription. I'd upgrade, but not if it isn't prorated for my current active subscriptions.
 
Worked for me, but they do charge the full monthly price even if you already subscribed to all the individual services and were recently charged for them. Not sure if they’ll pro rate a refund, add time at the end, or you just are sucking up a potential double-charge for your first month.
 
Yeah, they need to figure this out. I can't sign up, just get a blank page. Also, my monthly Apple Music plan billed this morning, if I sign up for this, I should seriously get a refund on that.

You won't. I paid mine yesterday; full price today.
 
Assuming this means if my Music sub rolls over on Nov 1, I effectively get 1 month free by upgrading to the appropriate plan I choose? iCloud storage rolls over mid-month so that also means pushing that renewal date off until Nov 30. Single payment will be nice instead of different days, different payments.
I think it says existing subscriptions don’t qualify for the free trial. So you’re not getting anything you already have for free. Just the services you didn’t already have.

In case anyone else has the same question. I subscribed to the Apple One Premier option. I then went to unsubscribe to my family Apple Music, News+ and iCloud subs but when I went to those options there was a note saying it was included in my Apple One subscription and I wouldn’t be billed twice. I was trying to unsubscribe to the existing services because they renew in the next two days.
Good to know this was thought about as I would have not been impressed if my existing individual subscriptions would have renewed tomorrow.

but what happens to my current subs once the free trial ends?
 
Looks like storage stacks with existing storage.
It also means upgrade from 200 GB to 2 TB will cost the full $9.99. And you’ll have a total of 2.2 TB available

I have signed up to the Premier plan but I still have ATV+, Arcade, and Music listed on my subscriptions as well. I thought they would have disappeared ? Although it does state they will be included in AO from the end of November. Hope I am not charged for these....

Mine says start free trial, but then says existing subscriptions not eligible for trial. So basically I’m not getting a free trial on a cost basis, just news+, as fitness isn’t out yet (and I’m eligible for 3 months free because of the watch) and my tv+ doesn’t expire until feb. I think I’m better off waiting until February as I’m only paying for music and 2tb iCloud right now.
Ah. Since I am either subscribed or have free trials to all of the services, that is why my only option is "subscribe." Thanks!

Not really. If you save more by buying separately, stay with what you’ve got. If you save more despite the Verizon offering, get the apple one subscription.
The reality is, I'm paying for Apple Music as part of my Verizon plan (they build the cost into the plan itself; as nothing is truly free). That being said, and as others have pointed out on this forum (including you), they should have thought of a way to prorate services to account for free trials, Verizon paid Apple Music and the lack of Apple Fitness at launch. This is an oversight, and not including a way to account for already paid services and trials does defeat the purpose of a bundle on principal.
