Bloomberg: Apple Considering Bundling Apple Music, TV+, and News+ as Early as 2020

My wish: 1T iCloud + Apple Music + TV+ and Arcade.
For New+, personally I don’t read magazines too much. If it will be in bundle with the others and just paying $2 or $3 more, then it is also fine.

I love Apple Music and so far, I am happy with Apple TV+ even though the content is currently pretty limited. I really wanted to like Apple News+ but there just wasn't enough content I was interested in reading in their line up. I tried Apple Arcade and thought it was a neat idea and they had good quality games but I'm just not much of a gamer. I would like any package to include iCloud storage.
How about a "make your package" deal where 1 service is regular price, any 2 services is 10-20% off the regular combined prices, any 3 services is 20-30% off the regular combined prices, etc.

This reminds me of going to a fast food restaurant and seeing the value menus. It has two things (burger and fries) I want, bundled with a a third I don’t (soda). Usually, I end up paying for the burger and fries separately.
Apple News+ has no value to me. I wouldn’t pay $1 a month for it.

Apple Music is doing good too
Add in 200GB iCloud storage and 2 x free HD movie rentals per month and I'd be all over this.
Give me better original series to care for AppleTV+ maybe more mature content would not hurt I mean there is the power button for parents and ways to block mature content can't be that hard for a parent to their jobs.
+1. For what you quoted $25 is just too much. $20 may be doable for me if they revamp Apple Music into something less, mmm what's the word, ******. Give me a better UI. Let me integrate w/ lastfm. Give me lossless audio for an extra $5 if I want it. Should not be this hard. rdio folded 4 years ago and it's still the gold standard, kind of sad.
Sure, “sources familiar with the matter.”
One is a disgruntled publisher who is making less than expected. Since publishers are paid based on time spent reading their articles, maybe that publisher’s content is less compelling than readers expected.
The other source says revenue growth is less than expected. That could be, apparently Apple is not advertising it much (so far, at least). But I haven’t read anything about publishers quitting the platform.
Maybe 20-30k a month is better than nothing, even for the source that’s complaining. Most publishers are struggling to stay afloat, why not take the extra money? Papers like WaPo and the NYT can get their own subscribers but not many others can. That probably why they signed up in the first place, right?
