i went through this awhile back. closing your account and then applying under new icloud account, which is the only way. it's ridiculous.
I am still wondering what will happen to existing subscriptions. Can someone get AppleOne besides all existing possibilities or will it change to being the one and only model? Could not find any info on apple.com about that.Assuming that you need all the services within the bundle.
I need only two: iCloud and Music. That means on the cheapest Apple One, I'm overpaying by $4, or $4 for services that I don't need.
No, thanks.
You know that this is meaningless and inaccurate based on your extensive research and testing of the device? Some other study of the device to which you can refer us? A secret internal Apple memo that you got and are going to publish? Or just spouting baseless drivel?
Because it can still give a general idea of blood oxygen levels, which is useful and not an "entertainment feature". What is known is that reading from the wrist are not going to be as accurate as reading from a finger tip. Blood runs closer to the surface of a finger tip than it does in the wrist, hence they can't say the BO sensor is for medical use. It is kind of the same thing for the ECG feature. The fact that the apple watch can not test multiple points for the ECG means it is more of a general reference. That said, the ECG feature has been shown to be surprisingly accurate. His comment was clearly meant to be a bit inflammatory as well rather than informative.Nope I think he’s basing it on the fact that Apple basically outlines the oxygen feature is not for medical use or any kind of self diagnoses. So what is purpose? To mislead people and sell more watches.
Otherwise it should be presented as a purely entertainment feature.
The Apple Music Family plan is already cheaper than 2 yearly individual plans.No annual sub offered for the family tier in the UK, would be great if there was.
That offer is one-time only. You cannot get a 2nd free year.TV+ is still free when buying a new device as per iPad page, so (assuming it's the same for the iPhone) you can take that out the mix if you upgrade yearly, might change the 'worth' esp on bottom tier.
It doesn't explicitly say that in the T&C's. It says no more than one can be combined i.e you can't buy 5 devices in one year, which would give 5 years or 5 separate subs on the go at one time.

So by your analysis, in those countries where the local authorities have not yet approved the EKG feature, it is meaningless and inaccurate? Got it. Like many things regulated by the FDA, without pre-clearance, one cannot make any claims as to its efficacy. There have been many SPO2 sensors that have been sold without pre-clearance because they did not want the expense of FDA certification (almost all of which have tested to be within the requirements for certification). Unless you can demonstrate some evidence that this is "meaningless and inaccurate" your statements are just so much speculation.
To provide data to educated consumers (mostly athletes and pilots) at launch, and once it has been certified to provide alerts and data to medical professionals.

It’s not my job to prove the feature is worthwhile.
If you (or the person whose views you were repeating and supporting) state the feature is “meaningless and inaccurate” you need to prove your position. You are making a claim that you need to support.
To be clear, he (and through your support of his position) did not say: “We do not know how accurate this feature is, nor if it can provide any actionable data.” He stated it was “meaningless and inaccurate.” Those are specific claims that need to be supported to be taken seriously.
Spoken like an Apple attorney, are you?
I worked in medical electronics my entire carrier and have seen oximetry developed from its inception at HP using 9 colors of light thru fiber optics from a huge box, to a big ear probe. It was many years later until engineers distilled the systems down to two colors of light that resolve saturated blood oxygen, measured at the peak of an arterial pulse. This was done on finger tips, ears tips, nose etc. where sharper arterial pulses could be detected. It was years later still before engineers applied higher math, fast Fourier transfer, to resolve the peak pulse reliably.
It's come a long way in 45 years, and in all this time it was NEVER dome on the back of the wrist. My guess is that it will take a metric buttload of correlation data to get this thru the FDA as a medical device. If it's possible, I'm sure Apple could do it in time.
For now you get a relative oxigen value, good for trending your own numbers over time.
Massimo, a respected SPO2 maker, just released a consumer stand-alone SPO2 finger sensor for $300, it is FDA approved. You can buy $25 versions from Chinese no-names that are very good, while not FDA certified.
So I'll say that this new feature is entertaining and somwhat useful. Most all breathing humans are going to read 95+ most all of the time, but a personal trend has value.
Has there been any announcement about when these plans will be available? I just keep seeing "Fall 2020".
The weird thing is One shows Fall but Fitness+ late 2020, but how can you have One without the other? Will Premier just be stalled if One beats Fitness+ to release?I'd guess when the new iPhone (or Fitness app) launches.
End of fall and late 2020 could be perceived as having a small window of overlapping time.The weird thing is One shows Fall but Fitness+ late 2020, but how can you have One without the other? Will Premier just be stalled if One beats Fitness+ to release?
What's the deal with adding extra storage?
I read something about you being able to add EXTRA storage to each tier of these. So for example, you can do the $30 tier of One, and also add a separate 2TB tier on top.
Anyone confirm this is actually true?
Annoying the lack of details, isn't it.All that has been confirmed is that one can add more storage, but no additional information has been specified so far.
Currently, one can add up to 2TB per family member for additional, non-shared storage. There is no way to get more than 2TB of shared storage (by shared I mean generally accessible by all family members vs. opening it to sharing with the new shared folders).
Probably many people, none likely to be on here though.
Their FAQ does confirm that more storage can be added, but gives no details.
