Apple One allows you to subscribe to up to six Apple services for one discounted monthly price. There are three Apple One tiers: Individual, Family, and Premier.

Over the last month, the highest-end ‌Apple One‌ Premier plan has gained two additional perks.

Here is what Apple One Premier already included, for $37.95 per month:
  • Apple Music
  • Apple TV+
  • Apple Arcade
  • Apple News+
  • Apple Fitness+
  • iCloud+ with 2TB of storage
Here are the two new perks, at no extra cost:
  • Apple Invites
  • Apple News+ Food
Last month, Apple released a new Invites app that allows iCloud+ subscribers to create invitations for any occasion, such as birthdays, dinner parties, graduations, baby showers, and more. The app is available on the App Store for the iPhone.

Anyone can RSVP to an invite from the Apple Invites app, even if they do not have an Apple Account or an Apple device, but creating an invitation requires an iCloud+ subscription. And since iCloud+ is included with all Apple One plans, including the Premier plan, this is a new perk to take advantage of at no additional cost.

The second new perk is Apple News+ Food.

The upcoming iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 updates add a new Food section to the Apple News app on the iPhone and iPad. This section will provide Apple News+ subscribers with tens of thousands of recipes and other food-related content from well-known food-related publishers, including Allrecipes, Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Good Food, and Serious Eats.

Here is how Apple describes the new Food section:
With the new Food feature, users will be able to find stories curated by Apple News editors, as well as browse, search, and filter tens of thousands of recipes in the Recipe Catalog — with new recipes added every day. The beautifully designed recipe format makes it easy to review ingredients and directions, and a new cook mode takes step-by-step instructions to the full screen. Users can also save their favorite recipes for later and access them offline.

iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 are currently in beta. The updates will be released to the general public in April, according to Apple.

Apple News+ is available in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. It is included in the Apple One Premier plan only, so the new Food section will be another perk that comes exclusively with that tier.

Title is a little misleading - it's not really that this specific Apple One package gained new features, it's that two of the component services included in Apple One Premier gained new features.

Apple Invites is included for everyone with an iCloud+ ($0.99 or higher) subscription (as mentioned in the article).

Apple News+ Food is included for everyone with an Apple News+ ($12.99) subscription.

I have the Premiere Apple One and use everything offered to some extent. However, I doubt I’ll use these new features. I may glance at the food stuff but the Invites will be completely ignored.
 
Currently paying for Apple Music $10/m for family plan through Verizon, then Apple Tv $99/y or $8.25/m, Along with 2TB icloud family plan for $9.99/m. Totaling to $28.24/month for the 3 things. It is tempting to just go with this Apple One for an extra $9.71 a month. Maybe one day......

"for free"
You should have said "with no extra cost" or something.

It's very bold of them to require a paid subscription to use Invites when the app was released not long ago and people are not really into it yet.
I will give the News+ Food a try.

Wasn't there an article on here about half a year ago that 2/3 of users have iCloud+? So most can just use the Invites app.

That's never gonna happen, they simply can't do that as it will impact services growth.

Anyone else feel like News is trash? I don't mean the content, but the application and articles are horribly formatted, and all over the place with fonts, spacing, and ads, its not worthy of a paid service..

I say get rid of news and take a few bucks off of the monthly price. I don't necessarily mind the app but some of the "news" articles are still pay-walled and if you're paying for a service they ALL should be available in full.

News+, Fitness+ and are not even available where I live ... and the fact that Apple One has the lowest tier of iCloud+ bogs me... the price here is $15 converted (czech crowns)

hence I pay 2 subscriptions that total at $7.30 converted ... 200GB iCloud+ and student Music&TV+ (somehow I managed to activate that with my old uni e-mail)

compared to Apple One I am losing Arcade (does anybody actually pay for that lol)
and I am gaining 150GB of iCloud storage

This article is akin to this one: “Apple Broke a 13-Year Hardware Streak in 2024.” That MacRumors article asserts that Apple did not release a new product line for the first time in 13 years; but the article claims new iterations of the same product as new product lines. MR seems to be generating articles for the sake of clicks. It’s aggravating.

You are getting ALL of the news outlets that participate in the service. It'd be awesome if that was 100% of news sources, but that's not ever going to be the case. Even so, I'd still rather see some WaPo articles in AN+, even if I don't get full access to all their content.
