Apple One is Now Available: Save Money by Bundling Apple Music, iCloud Storage, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and More

Cannot see anything yet, any trick?

Not working from App Store neither Settings 😢

Yet it went over your head. It’s included but only if Apple Music has it. Anything unique and not in Apple Music that u upload you need iTunes Match.

That is definitely not true. I have items in my library that were put there because of Apple Music's iTunes Match feature that are not in Apple Music.

 

[BigMcGuire]

Thanks. Quite messy, but I guess I'll have to do the same. I am just terrorized of losing the data

Apple, in the past, won't let you downgrade if you have data in there that exceeds a tier. If it is like other cloud services, you just won't be able to add - but you can download. But I think Apple goes further and prevents downgrading if data exists. So you should be fine.

That said, I got a Time Machine backup and a Carbon Copy Cloner backup of my data. And Backblaze!

Now that's cool. I wonder if the refunds are only for the annual subscriptions.

Nope, I got a refund for the most current payment of every service. Yearly: Arcade, Monthly: iCloud, Music, and News.

It's in App Store --> Click on your avatar --> Subscriptions. That's how I found it.

Unless you have music not listed in Apple Music - then you still need iTunes Match at $24.99 a year. That will allow you a cloud based storage section w/in Apple Music to upload your 'unique' music to be available across your other devices

Not true. You can upload unique music without Match to Apple Music. I do it often.

How interesting!!! Cool! I will keep my eye out for this.

Yep, but no luck yet... Just today Apple Music got renewed, maybe that's reason

 

[Darth-Kylie]

In the UK, it automatically refunded my 2TB iCloud Drive plan and I show 2TB in my iCloud settings now on Apple One.

Interesting. Are you on a non-beta of iOS 14? I’m on 14.2 beta, where it didn’t auto-cancel iCloud. Or maybe I missed something during the sign-up process.

 

[MinimeJer05]

Was already paying nearly $20 for the Family Apple Music plan and 200GB of storage. Might as well throw in Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade for a couple bucks. Will do a trial of Fitness+ when it launches to see if that and Apple News+ are worth the extra ten.

 

[ukbootlegs]

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.

In the same sort of boat. I bought a new Apple watch 6. It’s meant to come with 3 months free Apple fitness.
wife just bought a new iPhone and that comes with 12 months free Apple TV. I’m currently on a free subscription to that anyway due to my phone last year

i don’t use Apple Music coz I prefer Spotify. But if a bundle exists with fitness, I’d change to AM

at the moment tho, with my ”free enticements” I will hold off subscribing

 

[oldsuttree]

Except with Apple Music you have to deal with DRM. That's the defining difference between the two and why folks like me keep both subscriptions running.

Is that a regional thing? Apple Music allows users to store tracks in iCloud Music Library DRM-free.

 

[yaxomoxay]

My Apple Music subscription renewed yesterday. Oh well...

 

[Fried_Gold]

My Apple Music subscription renewed yesterday. Oh well...

It will be refunded automatically.

So they're really gonna bill $30 for premier when fitness+ doesn't exist yet?

I just signed up to the premier plan using my media purchases ID, separate from my iCloud ID (for iCloud storage).

I was asked when signing up if I wanted to associate that ID (for iCloud storage) with the media ID I use for purchases and I said 'yes' so that now shows my media/Apple One sub under my Apple media ID and my iCloud ID is now also associated with the Apple One subscription under my media purchases Apple ID.

Do you follow?

I got a free 1-month trial of Apple One, to 30 Nov, so in answer to this point, I imagine that Fitness+ will be launched before the 1 month Apple One trial ends.

 

[oldsuttree]

That is not true. I have uploaded several albums not offered on Apple Music and they are in my cloud library. I do not pay for Match.

Same here. I have unique tracks that are uploaded and shared across my devices. Never paid for iTunes Match.

 

[SirChristopher]

Does Fitness+ require an Apple Watch to be useful? I just returned mine...still not sold on it.

 

[darcyf]

Every time I tap it I get a blank screen. I guess people are flocking to sign up, which is great, but I would expect Apple to be able to handle a launch day surge and still give everyone a smooth experience.

 

[Rogifan]

That is not true. I have uploaded several albums not offered on Apple Music and they are in my cloud library. I do not pay for Match.

Are those albums available in iTunes?

 

[cardfan]

All I saw with premium Apple one purchase is existing ones like atv, music, news, vanishing from list. No refunds on news plus, storage (it’s showing 4tb) or Apple Music. These were all paid 2 days ago.

Perhaps it takes time.

 

[rockstarjoe]

Is that a regional thing? Apple Music allows users to store tracks in iCloud Music Library DRM-free.

With iTunes Match you can upgrade your library to higher quality, non-DRM'd versions, that you can keep even after you cancel your Apple Music subscription. I don't think you can do this with a regular Apple Music subscription.

 

[Brenster]

How interesting!!! Cool! I will keep my eye out for this.

check Settings > your Apple
ID > Media & Purchases > Purchase History.

Should tell you what charges have been made and also refunds. Saw
my 2TB iCloud charge from 28 Oct refunded there.

 

[DotCom2]

For the family plan is storage 200gb each or 200Gb shared between the family?

shared

 

[HelveticaNeue]

I signed up for Apple One and am trying to change the iCloud storage from my iTunes account to my iCloud account. But I keep getting a message that "Apple ID Locked. Your Apple ID has been locked for security reasons. To unlock it, you must verify identity." When I tap to "unlock account" it says "Cannot reset password. This Apple ID is either not valid or not supported."

It is an iCloud account I use every day. It is not locked. I tested signing in on multiple devices.

Anyone else getting this or have a solution?

Where do you check on refund status? I prepaid Music for 3 years. Do they email you about the refund?
