WHY!!? Even though I live in Brazil, I can speak English!

They should just have an option for people who accept the fact that the service is in English!

Apple Fitness is a great deal with the bundle! Comparable apps are like twice the price of the whole thing!
That would be impossible for any company to figure out who can or cannot speak the English language when they live in a completely remote country. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S that can't speak English at all. What would be your solution for them?
 
I feel like this is the first time ever Apple is not screwing Aussies.. $29.95 into AUD at current exchange rates (according to xe.com) is A$41, so that A$39.95 price is great. I spend more than this on services now, so I'll be saving money. Will save even more because I buy the $50 Apple cards at Costco for $40.. Bring it on!
Australia's insane prices and VAT are what's screwing Aussies, not Apple.
 
Is there anything in the way of getting a Family plan and just sharing it with 4 friends ?
As long as they have their own apple I.D. it's perfectly fine. The problem is you have to rely on your friend's paying their portion of the plan every month. I wouldn't recommend this at all. Friends aren't your "friends" when money is involved, especially when you are the gatekeeper responsible for the payment each month.

Got mine all set up for that Family plan! It just makes sense for us. We already were paying $15 for Apple Music and $3 for 200GB. Why not pay the extra $2 and get Apple TV and arcade 🤷🏻‍♂️

You'll need to ask Apple on that one but in my experience they are pretty good at recognising and refunding produce overlap gaps... apart from my iTunes in the Cloud that I ran for 2 more years not realising that service was also included in Apple Music subscription :p
I didn’t think iTunes Match was part of Apple Music. Where can I find this info. I keep paying for it because 90% of my music is in match and I don’t have the discs anymore. Losing all my music over $25 seems like a bad idea and because they still charge for it makes me pause on canceling it.

Got my premier plan set up. I wonder how it will work because some of the services I have paid for already during the month.

Edit: Just check and I’ve been refunded for Apple Music, Apple News, iCloud storage and Arcade.

It says under subscriptions exactly what will happen for each subscription (for me they end on Nov 30th)
 
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%
Yep it’s a steal. I was paying:

£9.99 Apple music
£9.99 Apple News +
£4.99 Apple arcade
£6.99 2TB iCloud storage

So the premier plan already saves me £2. Not to mention that I would have had to start paying for Apple TV+ and I also want to try out fitness plus.
 
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.
Correct, but what is being said in this thread is Apple Music does the same thing and that is also articulated @ https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204146

The larger question is, will the only fall out from canceling iTunes Match be the loss of non-DRM version of music matched using our itune match subscription.
 
I had to manually remove my $2.99 per month iCloud storage subscription. So you can still add those tiers to what you get with Apple One if you need more space (mine was saying 400Gb, but I only need about 100 for the family).
 
Apple One is now Available in India 🇮🇳 as well.

So what happens with the free year of Apple TV (with a iphone 12) if I subscribe?

Presumably it just gets wasted?
 
So I guess that extended free trial of apple TV+ goes away. Previously it was extended to 2/1/21 and now that I have Apple one it’s included in the renewal on 11/30/20.
 
So if you have existing subscriptions they will be cancelled and rolled in to apple one. Except for icloud storage. I was already paying for 2tb of storage and then signed up for apple one and was bumped up to 4tb of storage. You have to cancel your icloud storage manually if you no longer want that and only want what is included in apple one.
 
I’d switch to Apple One but with Apple TV+ extended to February there is no sense it subscribing now.
 
200Gb for the Family plan is ridiculous. No option for more space in the EU. I'll pass...

Fitness+ and News+ is not available, so the top tier wouldn't make sense here but at least they could offer another option with AM, Arcade and 2TB of storage.
I'm not subscribing and I'll keep listening to Spotify, so they'll only get money from me for iCloud. With a good tier, I'd pay them more and switch to AM.
 
This deal is ****.
I currently have Apple Music and thats it. I want just iCloud storage. But 50gb is crap and a joke. If that was 500gb at the same price I’d get it.
 
Can I get a Family bundle and extend its iCloud storage to 2TB? The Premier bundle is not available in EU.
As I know, yes. Because, I had 2TB iCloud before buying Apple One Premier, after buying it I have 4 TBs of storage! [2TB iCloud + 2TB Apple One Premier] :)

Me too but I’m confused. Will I be billed for the 2tb I was paying for plus Apple one? I thought they’d merge the services you already had?
