What a joke...200 GB for a family is a crock. They give 50 GB to a individual, but a family of 6 get's 200...math dont add up. I know this is why they do it, but I'm a family of 2 forced into a 2 TB plan because I'm just over 200 GB...
Most popular...or the ones needing a boost being added to Music and Storage? I think a lot of people would drop Apple TV+ when their subscriptions run out so by adding it to a bundle, Apple doesn't have to face the mass cancellations as the free trials expire.
Signed up for free trial. Already have the 2TB iCloud storage plan, and according to Settings/iCloud/Storage I now have 4TB (2TB that I paid for last month plus 2TB from the free AppleOne trial). In fact it says "You have a 2TB iCloud storage plan and 2TB of storage included with AppleOne."
So, since I intend to keep the AppleOne subscription and only need/want 2TB, I suppose I need to manually downgrade from the iCloud storage plan before that one renews (mine renews next week)?
I think Apple was trying to get in front of this question because in the confirmation email, there's a paragraph reading "
BUT....of course that link is dead.

Yep - I just cancelled my 2TB subscription plan ($9.99/mo). I noticed my Apple TV subscription is still active too on my other account. So I'll have to cancel that too.
Apple Music through Verizon is included in my plan in perpetuity. I say included, because we all know the cost of Apple Music is included in the cost of the Verizon plan (it's not really free).
2TB - $10
Apple Arcade - $5
Apple News + - $10
Apple TV + - $5
Apple Fitness - $10
-------------------------
$40 / month
Yes you need to downgrade to “None”. You’ll get to keep your additional 2TB until that subscription ends, then Apple One 2TB will be your storageSigned up for free trial.

Apple Music includes iTunes Match:
Subscribe to iTunes Match - Apple Support
iTunes Match gives you access to all of your music on all of your devices, even songs that you've imported from other sources such as CDs.
I previously had the 2 TB iCloud Storage shared with my family. I have two different Apple IDs (Store and iCloud). Since the Premiere Plan is not available in Germany, I had to take the family plan. The 200 GB Apple One storage was connected to my Store ID. It gives you the possibility of switching the Storage to the iCloud ID, but then its forcing me to cancel the 2 TB storage to take the 200 GB from Apple One. I did so, thinking I could upgrade back to 2 GB afterwards. I was able to do so, but then the 200 GB went back to the Store ID, which obviously cant be used this way... Seems like im paying now for 2,2 TB but only getting 2 TB.
Are you serious, Apple?!

No so ridiculous they don't have any FAQs about this stuff. How are they handing Premier now before Fitness+ drops?
Apple Music includes iTunes Match:

iTunes Match gives you access to all of your music on all of your devices, even songs that you've imported from other sources such as CDs.
So they're really gonna bill $30 for premier when fitness+ doesn't exist yet?
I’m hoping Apple offers “build a bundle” option.
I would get a family plan with ATV, News, Storage 2tb and Music.
That would make sense to me and the ability to build for your needs would attract more people IMO.

Apple is offering Arcade for 3 months free now, and Apple TV is going to be free if you buy a new apple device, which is a wash. So in the end I pay 10 bucks for 2tb of storage and 10 bucks for music, so now i have to pay 30 for the same and get Fitness, which isnt here yet and apple news plus, which is not that great in my opinion
I love Apple and everything but this seems like a ploy to get people in the ecosystem without offering anything beneficial
If anything they should offer more storage for less money, as storage is key for most of us. They are already charging more for iCloud storage than most competition.

Why would they released this and Apple fitness is not available yet
iTunes Match is included in Apple Music. If you pay for both Apple Music AND iTunes Match separately Tim Cook will personally send you one of these:

I called Apple Support and they said my pending Apple Music charge (which hit my credit card today) should come off and if it doesn’t within the next 1-2 days then I should call back. They also said if you upload music to the cloud that is not available in iTunes then you need iTunes Match (which is not included in Apple One).
you can have a separate iCloud sub, so it’s whatever Apple One tier you choose + whatever iCloud tier you choose. That goes for $ and GB/TB. So, yeah, you can have a 4TB plan if you really want it.
I like this flexibility as You could go for 400GB instead, for about $23, if you don’t care about Fitness+.

Disney discounts if you have D+ through VZW but the bundle through them, so Apple should be able to do the same
Signed up for teh family premiere, though also go charged music today so hopefully one of those gets refunded.
In the UK, it automatically refunded my 2TB iCloud Drive plan and I show 2TB in my iCloud settings now on Apple One.
