Unlike other services that automatically cancel and get included in Apple One plan, storage doesn’t seem to automatically cancel. I had to manually go in and select “Downgrade” to have it not renew at the end of the term
I've been trying to rationalize if I still want/need Match. I think nearly everything I own is now included in AppleMusic.
I get Apple Music through Verizon, but it’s only for one device. I’m intrigued by Fitness+.
Honestly, the bundle doesn’t make tremendous sense to me, but I will most likely get it because I am shameless Apple and it’ll be “fine”.
I disgust myself.
yeah, you can either continue to enjoy your free subscription from Verizon or pay full price for a bundle from apple. it's not that hard to figure out.
it's the same price as adding the 2TB of storage to any apple account. $10 a month.
I’ll wait until next month and let my current Music and iCloud subs expire and then resub up on the day I get paid.
On the plus side, if you were someone who wanted 400 GB of storage, you now have that option by paying only for the extra 200GB as opposed to jumping to 2 TB
I think you're being double charged - you get 2TB with Premier and another 2TB which is a separate subscription - you might have to change this
Not sure if this was discussed. Is there student pricing?
Does it allow you to upload music that is not available in iTunes? That’s what I am using it for.
I have live music that’s not available in iTunes.
you must already subscribe to a 2TB plan that stacked on top of the 2TB you got from Apple One.
the premier plan comes with 2TB. were you already paying for 2TB of storage and didn't cancel that?
Exactly right. I think for a lot of us, it's going to be better to wait, since we're on free trials and subscriptions to other services. I love Apple but I don't think they thought this through entirely. Better to pro-rate everything so you're not actually losing value by signing up for Apple One now.
I'm waiting too. And even if I didn't have free trials and subscriptions to consider, I'd still wait because their fitness services isn't up and running yet. (Why would they even introduce the Premier package without it?)
Yes. Paying for Apple Music and iTunes Match means you're throwing money away.
I have gone to my iTunes/Apple Music subscriptions page and to the page in Settings where you adjust your iCloud storage and to the Apple One homepage. I don't see any options to add Apple One on any of them.
Per the article above... "The prompt for Apple One is still in the process of showing up for all users, so keep checking if you don't see it right away." You'll probably see it later today.
That stinks but it most likely has to do with agreements with the content providers.
Too bad you can't choose between News and Arcade. I have zero interest in Arcade, but a little in News. Right now, I have the annual subscription to Music. That breaks down to $8.25/month. When I start getting charged for TV+, my monthly total, with the 50GB iCloud, will be $14.23/month. So, the individual plan isn't a deal.
200GB is just dumb. Had they made the Family plan 1TB, or even 500GB, would've been an instant purchase for me.
I'm so glad we have amazing people like you on this forum to point out obvious answers to Apple's biggest questions. I'm so eager to give up the Apple Music subscription already bundled with my cell phone plan to pay for it as part of the Apple One bundle.
