New Apple One Subscription Bundle Offers Savings Up to $25 per Month

ErikGrim said:
There are more details in the latest front page post, including a yet 100% confirmed comment that the 2TB storage will be expandable to 4TB.

Currently, one can add up to 2TB per person in a family group, but only the primary owner’s storage is shared with others in the family. If this allows 4TB to be shared, that would be nice.

I would be love to see some benchmarks for uploads and downloads. It is priced competitively with Wasabi S3 compatible cloud storage, but has some nicer features (and some that are not as nice).

Makes sense if you are in deep with the Apple ecosystem. It was only a matter of time before they did this. It's a smart move. I had spotify and Apple music at one stage. But I never used apple music except for running on my apple watch. Spotify's music exploration is just way better.

this is the reason I’m thinking of breaking the ecosystem. it sucks apple only makes Apple Music viable on the watch. Feels greedy tbh. I feel they only made Apple Music cheap because made back the money on the Apple Watch

iTunes Match is never mentioned among Apple's subscription services. It's kind of a poor stepchild. Why it isn't wrapped into iCloud makes no sense to me, except that then they couldn't charge separately for the service.

i love iTunes Match. i have a LARGE library and don't 'like' pop radio. i'm waiting for Apple to end this service as it's essentially a part of Apple Music [the 1st thing Apple Music does is allow you to listen to your library anywhere you're signed in], so it's only a matter of time. I'll probably go the AppleOne approach once that happens

Talking something down is always a great evasive strategy when someone just proofed you wrong.

I think what they were trying to say was Apple will kill it off sometime in future.

Which may or may not happen, depending on how things pan out with these new plans. If so it'll surely pee-off a section of users who rely on it and don't want Apple Music lending library. 😐

I’m another one of the “two people” who has Match...people would be fine doing Apple Music as an alternative if they didn’t have to worry about the chance of their collection getting mucked up which may occur with Apple Music DRM..that’s definitely a worry for me!

Yeah, they're supposed to have fixed that, so you get non-DRM versions of stuff you already own from whatever source. But...
