Apple Music Family: £14.99
Apple TV+: £4.99
Apple News: £9.99
Apple Arcade: £4.99
2TB iCloud Storage: £6.99
Apple Fitness: £9.99
£51.94
I currently have:
Apple Music Family: £14.99
Apple TV+: £4.99 (free till Feb 2021)
2TB iCloud Storage: £6.99
So that's £21.98 (£26.97 when I have to Pay for Apple TV+) Adding an extra couple of quid for News, Fitness and Arcade is a steal. And the UK pricing includes VAT at 20%
All purchases have to go through one payment method so you just have to be cool with that.
This is the reason I don't share with most of my family 😛
I do hope, that they will charge the same upgrade price which you have to pay, when you upgrade from 200GB to 2TB, which is $7. Charging $10 would wipe out a good amount of the savings you can achieve with this offer.
Have Apple sorted the way their "family" system works yet? I tried it with mum partner when it was launched and it meant we had to choose who paid for iTunes or App Store purchases... When they bought something, it would download on my phone, etc. It was super annoying.
It shouldn't download to all devices, you do still have to have a card linked for all purchases, which I suppose is Apple's way of stopping abuse.
Better than Spotify and having to log in at the same address to use the family plan 🙄
You can turn off Payment Sharing for Family plans.
From an iOS device you can go to Settings -> Apple ID (your name) -> Family Sharing -> Stop Family Purchase Sharing . There is also an option to just tick off "Share my purchases", but all that will do is just stop other family members from accessing the apps, music or books you've purchased, but it still allows them to make their own purchases using your payment method. What you need to do is press the blue option Stop Family Purchase Sharing on the bottom of the page, this way it stops it completely and their purchases should go through their account once more

What if I want more iCloud storage?
You can add more iCloud storage by signing up for a storage upgrade.You can upgrade your iCloud storage, but you’ll pay an additional monthly fee. The Apple One website says the additional storage is a “supplement” to the storage included in the plan. For example, if you want to get the 2TB upgrade ($9.99), for the Apple One Family plan ($19.95), you’ll end up with 2.2TB and pay $29.94 per month. Learn more about iCloud storage plans and prices.

Given it's Apple, they are waiting for Friday+
Maybe before sharing your poorly-thought out "message," you should consider that Fitness+ and News+ consist of English-language content, and that News+ also requires rights to distribution in each country.
If it were Friday++, that would mean Saturday. Sorry, I majored in Computer Science in college. I'll show myself out.
Apple Music family + 2tbs of storage currently individually cost less than 29.99. This is actually an increase in price for a lot of those users. I don’t need news, appletv, fitness, or arcade.
what would have been nice is if there was a way to add any Apple care plans to one bill every month.

And they've been happy to take my iTunes Match in all that time
I just love that people expect a U.S-based company to instantly offer their product worldwide at first launch. There are a great deal of products and services outside the U.S that will never be offered to the U.S. Apple is not the only option for these types of services so find something suitable for your "needed" time frame or deal with it.
Isn't iTunes match something different though? I still have it but it's all my CD's that I digitised years ago and uploaded to the cloud - some of these aren't on Apple Music.And they've been happy to take my iTunes Match in all that time
Yeah and tell that to Comcast/Xfinity or any of the major Cable/Internet companies. Tell them it would be better to let the customer choose what channels they want to pay for. That's not a reality sir.
Not available yet. Probably not till 10:00 Pacific, 13:00 Eastern, or something like that...
