The MacRumors Show: Is Apple One Worth It?

[brownpaw]

I was paying roughly $15/month for Spotify, and $10/month for 2TB iCloud, and occasionally whatever ~$5/month AppleTV+ used to be, so moving up to Apple One for $32.95 made a lot of sense to get the other stuff even if I don't use it very much.

Of course a month later they increased the price to $37.95 per month, which is only a $5 difference but it still stings.

Apple Music is fine but I have to say I much preferred Spotify's interface. I also really liked how if you make a station based on a song in Spotify, it populated a whole playlist that you could view and skip through. It seems that Apple Music doesn't expose what's coming up on the station (at least that I can find, please tell me if I'm wrong) which is super annoying.

Sanitized? Something tells me you don’t read news

The proper word is PROPAGANDA!!

I feel bad for Dan after listening to this episode. The day he will clean up his subscriptions, US App Store revenue will drop by about 10-15%

The true value of News+ is in the magazines. I regularly read Wired, The Atlantic, etc. A few of these subscriptions could easily cost more than Apple One.

Still vapid air head talking about things

Does anybody still use Apple News plus or Apple One?

Does anybody still use Apple News plus or Apple One?

Yup. Make pretty good use of it too. Fitness, iCloud (especially for photos) and Music every day, News and Apple TV slightly less often, Arcade very little.

Yep. I subscribe to Apple One Premier. Use regularly use iCloud, News, Fitness, TV+

Same here minus fitness. I was surprised at the News app during the elections. Their counts were ahead of the other major networks. I think I saw a note in News that said that they were reporting AP numbers, so presumably not biased as far as the count goes, yet they were ahead of the others most of the night.

We do Apple One and use Music (heavily), TV, News (way too much), Fitness. Sometimes I scroll through Arcade but never use anything.

 

[Baseiseough]

I still use Music, TV+ and iCloud+. I love these three.

Whish Apple One family could come without Arcade. I pay this service for nothing.

That’s good because I’m still debating if I want to get the middle package or the premium one, I like everything in it

Yes, this is the one thing I wish Apple would let us do from the start customize the bundles.

Given a couple of my family slots out to friends and they give me a bit of money for it each month. Works out nicely.

 

[PlayUltimate]

Yes, this is the one thing I wish Apple would let us do from the start customize the bundles.

Ditto: We mostly use iCloud, News, Music, TV+. I've been starting to use Fitness more but not enough to justify buying it separately. However, when I price out the things we do use regularly, it costs more to go Ala carte vs buying the package. 😐
