It's covered. See this thread...

It is unclear if this will involve any new consolidation of accounts”

Basically, unclear exactly how Apple plans on it working with two accounts. If they can manage billing a bundle to users who have services on two Apple IDs, they surely can just let us consolidate them.
 
Yes, TV+ already has many many gems. Morning Show, Servant, For All Mankind, Mythic Quest, Ted Lasso, and Little America for starters. Not sure if they stand up to the shows you listed since I haven't seen all of them, but the quality is very very high.
I agree they have a few gems, but they don't have enough content to really make it worth it, when you compare it to other services, I'm not sure I will continue after my trial expires.
 
You're gonna have a whole lot of nothing to watch...
I totally agree!
I got my 1 free year when I bought my iPad Pro but the site is horrible (which drunkard designed that!) and there's nothing I would like to watch except for the See series. But I had seen that already because I downloaded it from Rutracker (tip).
I already have Amazone Prime for €2,99/month and that offers so much more! i use that almost everyday and new stuff keeps coming.
I love Apple's iPhones and iPads but these services they may keep.

Correct, with TMobile they offer $11.99 for Netflix. If you are getting more than the basic package they you just pay the difference.
Yea same with Disney+. We have that through VZW and the bundle through Disney, so they credit the price of D+. Hope Apple does the same or I see them losing a lot of potential customers
 
How do you pay an extra 6 a month? I've had multiple conversations with verizon/hulu about that just yesterday and they said there is no option to do that?
Fantastic question...I had to remember what happened. When I signed up for it through the Verizon site it linked to Disney+, told me to link the emails I use for logins on Hulu and ESPN+ as well. After that, I went to Hulu, signed in and it said I had Hulu with Ads and the No Ads option was on the right side of it. Flipped that little switch and it just said the cost would be $6 a month. It looks as though it only shows that I have Hulu (not the bundle) and it probably is just based on the fact they are all linked together by my one email used to sign in to all of them.

I just logged in to my account to check too and I have the No Ads option for the $6 a month and I could drop the the Ads version and it would be $0 a month.

I find it odd they say that you can't do that when I know I was able to without issue. I hope you can get it resolved!
 
That’s great, and I will eventually get it, but the devil is in the details. What about those of us that currently get some of the services for free? Premier plan loses some value without fitness+, will they still charge the advertised price? What about those with two Apple IDs. They said it would be fine, but haven’t really told us how they will ensure that. I’m mildly annoyed.
Me too. It's ridiculous they don't have FAQs on their site for all these scenarios by now, and it is supposed to be today. And when? Will there be an iOS update??

Us too but I think it will only be worth it if they credit for the AM we get included with VZW since we don't need more cloud or arcade or TV+
 


Apple in September announced Apple One, a new series of services bundles that will let Apple device customers purchase several services together in one package instead of separately, saving money for those who use multiple Apple service products.

Ahead of Apple's earnings call, Apple CFO Luca Maestri told Bloomberg that Apple One is set to launch on Friday, October 30.

Apple One Bundle include services like Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, Apple TV+, and more. There are three bundle options:
  • Individual ($14.95 per month) - Includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and 50GB iCloud storage.
  • Family ($19.95 per month) - Includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and 200GB of iCloud storage, with the services able to be shared between up to six family members.
  • Premier ($29.95 per month) - Includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, Fitness+, and 2TB iCloud storage, with the services able to be shared between up to six family members.
Apple's newest service, Apple Fitness+, is not launching tomorrow but Maestri said that it will be coming later this quarter.

So with the Family Plan 200GB of shared iCloud storage, you can also add another 50GB @ $0.99 or 200GB @ $2.99.

I assume this works the same with the other plans as well.

The iCloud storage isn't quite working yet. So you get 200Gb with Apple One plus I have my 200Gb I used to pay for previously so it shows a total of 400Gb.

I wanted to downgrade the 200Gb to 50Gb but it won't let me as I have 180gb Used - so guess this is just a bug.

It let me downgrade, but it still looks like I can downgrade "again", i.e. it didn't take. However, I think it looks like this because your 200GB subscription will continue until your next cycle. So, it's going to show you 400GB total space available, until your next cycle, when you should see the 250GB kick in.
 
I'm still annoyed that the Family Organizer (me) has to get billed for all family member purchases.

Yeah I do not have the option for no ad's on my Hulu page. There is a link for 'add ons' but when you go there it explains that you can not have add on's if you're billed through a third party like verizon. you may have happened on a kink in the system, as my account was cancelled just before the verizon account took hold. I had to call because for a bit of time during set up I couldn't log in to either account. but yeah I even called again and again was told there is no way to do this.

That is super odd then. To be fair, my Hulu account hadn't been cancelled at that point and was still active. It just took over as the bundle and prorated everything for me. I did have to go to the Disney+ website to manage at least the connection with Hulu and ESPN+ from the start, but now when I go to Disney+ it says managed by Verizon and when I click Hulu or ESPN+ it takes me to the respective pages.

But maybe you're right and I hit a kink or something and got lucky? I feel like I saw this has been a thing from the start. Can't add the Live TV plan but I can go to Ad supported and back to No Ads if I accidentally change to the Ads version.

Well, I am sorry that it is happening to you as that has not been what I have seen online.

This is great as I was already subscribing to ATV+, Music, News+, Arcade for the entire family so this will save me money and give me Fitness when it becomes available. I think this is the first time in 20 years Apple is saving me money! ;):D
 
Just converted my 200GB storage and Apple Music to the Family Plan for $19.95 a month. Seemless process, but had to cancel the 200GB storage plan I had previously or I would have been billed for both and had 400GB. Did not need that much. Very welcomed service bundle from Apple!
