Apple Registers Multiple 'Apple One' Domain Names Ahead of Tuesday's Event [Updated]

Internet Enzyme said:
If you are choosing a la carte what is in your bundle, then why don't you just buy the services separately? The only incentive for a company to create a bundle is so that they can sell their weaker services better by attaching them to their real marquee sellers in a way that reads as a deal to a consumer

Well i want them discounted, not pay full price. otherwise i'd be already paying for them, like I said i dont find any of them particularly good value at their listed prices.

Apple will do what they will, I don't really care one way or the other, I just said what option would appeal to *ME* if it was offered.

We'll find out.

I am a little confused by your comment. You do not subscribe to any Apple services because you do not find them a good value but having never seen any value in them and never having tried them you would subscribe if they were sufficiently discounted?

How much of a discount are you hoping for, exactly? Is it realistic to believe that Apple is likely to offer a discount significant enough for you to consider subscribing to multiple services you currently do not see the value of? I fear you are going to be disappointed.

I suspect I am in for a disappointment as well as I do see value in several of the services and subscribe to Apple Music, iCloud, News+, and TV+ (admittedly for free but loving Mythic Quest, Little Voice, and Ted Lasso). I suspect any bundle I would get would have to include Arcade and I do not have any interest in that. That is pure speculation on my part and I might still be pleasantly surprised. For you, though, I see no hope.

To make it a success the pricing will have to be fairly aggressive I believe. I have music and iCloud at the moment with a free tv offer. I’d be looking at paying no more than £19.99 a month for iCloud, music, news, tv and arcade as news and arcade i’d hardly use and I’m currently on the free tv trial.

I can only think of it one way. They'll bundle everything:
Arcade, music, tv+, icloud (the $5 dollar package or simolar), news, 3 months for "free" with automatic renewal. Maybe offer it for $25 instead of $30 it would be if bought separately.

All this to boost subscription count on less popular services.

You guys are all way off the mark.

Apple is going to announce this week they've bought the country, Sierra Leone, in an effort to move production out of China. The entire country is going to be dedicated to producing iOS and MacOS devices.

Having ownership of an entire country means Apple can set the tax rates. Scared of another standoff with the EU, Apple intends to move it's worldwide services base from Ireland to Sierra Leone in order to maximise profits. All services revenue will be diverted through Sierra Leone. Or, to give it it's new name, App Leone.

Don't you mean macOS High Sierra Leone?

What about a $2 monthly rebate to the Apple credit card for every subscription after the first one. Ie 2 subs $2, 3 subs $4 etc.
But only if you have an an Apple Card.
 
New domains are par for the course, but since everybody knows apple.com (and country specific domains), the easiest and most obvious address is of course apple.com/one (and one.apple.com).

Except for iCloud, I don't recall Apple using too many extra domains.

PS. FindMy.com is basically a domain park at the moment. That is one domain I actually tried to use to access Apple's FindMy service the other day.
 
I hope there is a way for those of us who subscribed annually can add extra services and only pay the discounted rate.

I wonder if they’ll do anything with AppleTV+.

My free trial is up in a month and change like everyone else.

I have Apple News+, Apple Arcade and iCloud storage as well.
 
to each his own, but this bundle is weak compared to Amazon's Prime which costs like $15/m

You must have pretty serious insider knowledge to make a claim like that for an unannounced service with no price yet. Can you tell me when the iPhone 12 will ship, please? Or maybe some more current details on the Apple Car project?

With all the hype, I hope we see a worthwhile discount with the One bundle. Otherwise the following will be the official theme song.

Come on BGG. You know if there will any official theme song for this, since it's Apple, it would have to be this:

And it would be automagically downloaded to all Apple devices. 😆

I have no interest in Music or Arcade, so of course Apple will likely include one or both of those in every bundle offer.
 
Apple One is going to be the next line of computers by Apple, based on their new "silicon".

I’m surprised all the rumors say this includes Apple Music. I thought for sure the record labels would balk. I hope this is something where Apple lets you choose your bundle and not one where you have to pay for something you don’t want (like in my case Apple News+).
Click to expand...
I have to think that the reason the labels didn't balk is because Apple will continue to pay full licensing costs, and eat the difference. Apple is probably one of the few players who could afford that high cost for the sake of growth.
 
Definitely looking forward to Tuesday to see how this all shakes down. I pay for additional iCloud storage but nothing else, but I do have Spotify and if its worth it I could try Apple Music...

But most of all I’m in this for a new ATV and AW6 on Tuesday hopefully.
 
I am all for it if they allow for merging of apple ID’s. Quite a few of us have appleID’s with all our iTunes purchases from well before .Mac/mobileme/iCloud.

i will happily stop using the one on my own domain name, if I can transfer all purchases to my iCloud account and simply use that. Would make family sharing a ton easier as well.

I have an Apple Music family plan and extra iCloud space. Still have a couple months left on my free year of Apple TV+ and I barely ever use it. So I think the only extra service I'd pay for is News+ at this point if it were part of a bundle that had Music/Cloud.

Sarcasm aside, Amazon will offer everything Apple offers and their video library is larger PLUS free whole year shipping and discounts on items for $12/M. What is Apple's counter offer?

What do you mean by "this bundle"? What bundle? They haven't announced any bundle yet. 😟😟

We are talking in assumption that Apple will release a bundle subscription package which seems only logical step towards all their services providing.
 
This makes me wonder if this business in Glendale, CA will have to change their name
