This! You sell 512gb iPhones and jump from 200gb to 2tb. I don't need 2tb. I do need more that 200gb to backup my single iPhone. Its extremely annoying.
Got a tip for us?

yeah that family tier exists only to prompt people in to buying above it. And this whole thing yet again makes me livid that a company that I think is terrific at solving problems refuses to solve a problem that has existed for 15 years? MERGING APPLE ID'S.
But 4TB option is pretty awesome.

Hence family plan shared, you can have up to six family member. So that's really ~650GB each. Home photo/video especially when you have kids. Also very easy backup solution for older parents. My wife alone has 800Gb of photo/videos.

I'm getting the Premium. It will replace my Apple Music, 2TB iCloud, Apple News plus. I'm getting the Arcade (I was on trial for getting the iPhone 12 Pro) and Fitness for free. Don't need Apple TV+, but won't complain.
My entire Harddrive, in the cloud. Will never lose anything. Plus 3 other family members. We are using ~600Gb of 2Tb currently, Just my icloud storage and family music alone was $26 so the family plan is really a steal to get tv, fitness, arcade, news, etc.
I was currently paying for Music, iCloud storage 2TB, and Arcade (all on family plan)
I subscribed to One Premium, and it has first month free, so first time it'll charge me is Nov 30.
I look at my subscriptions, and it shows Music and Arcade being taken over by the One subscription.
But the original 2TB iCloud storage is still showing. So I have 4TB total (but not needed). I try to cancel the 2TB plan (or downgrade to 'none' as it shows) and nothing happens. My 2TB renews on the 2nd of the month, so come monday I'm going to get charged for it. Wonder how this will work. Maybe I still have to pay for it until the One free trial ends?

Hi all,
I’m confused: I’ve just paid for an apple one family plan (no premium here in France).
I share my 200go apple one storage with my family, but we need more (200go more would be great).
Apple tells you can add a 200go iCloud plan to your apple one storage plan, but I can only replace the apple one 200go, not stack the 2 plans (iCloud and apple one).
Any help ?
Thanks
Franck

One would hope they notice that and refund the remaining portion.
The storage options are a joke, I was tempted thinking it might cost a couple of £ more than I pay now but would get Arcade and Apple TV+.
Now
£14.99 Apple Music family
£6.99 2TB iCloud (450GB used)
£21.98
With Apple One
£19.95 AppleOne Family
£6.99 2TB iCloud
£26.94
Whilst this is a saving if you already subscribed to arcade/TV+ it isn’t otherwise. The issue I see is the storage, 200GB (included) isn’t enough for a family and 2TB (£6.99) is far too much, 1TB for £3.49 and they’d have me.

Family plan for a family of six. Especially when you have kids.
I currently pay for family music, news and Apple TV+. Well tv is free till February. Plus the 200gb for iCloud. Do I cancel all those services prior to signing up, or just sign up for premier and it will overtake everything else. From this thread I am gathering I only need to drop the storage. Any insights before I click the button?
You can still just get those separately...or are you saying you want some sort of discount for subscribing to more than one?
And if it launched this morning, why am I not seeing it anywhere? I missed something....
What about HomeKit Secure Video recording under the 4 TB plan?
Will I be allowed to record more than 5 cameras with 4 TB?

If you have the 2TB plan now and get the première you then have 4TB of iCloud storage
I wish Apple didn't hold 2TB storage as an upsell opportunity.
If I choose Apple One Individual, I would need to pay $24.94 total for 2.05TB. At that point, Apple Watch users might as well pay $5.01 extra and also get Apple Fitness+, Apple Music Family, and Apple News+ (minus 50GB).
Apple One Family with 2TB (technically 2.2TB) costs only $0.01 less than Apple One Premier (minus 200GB).
What I really want is $15.95 Apple One tier with 2TB and iTunes Match (should be renamed to iCloud Music) instead of Apple Music and 50GB. This would also work well for Verizon customers with complementary Apple Music Individual.
