Later in the year, users will be able to choose
from three Apple One plans. The first, named
Individual, offers Apple Music, Apple TV+,
Apple Arcade, and 50GB of iCloud storage for
$14.95 per month, whereas the Family plan
comes with Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple
Arcade, and 200GB of iCloud storage for
$19.95 per month, and can be shared among
up to six family members. Apple’s Premier
package, where available, will bundle Apple
Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+,
Apple Fitness+, and 2TB of iCloud storage for
$29.95 per month, shared amongst six family
members, making Apple’s services even more
compelling and attractive when compared with
individual alternatives such as Netflix, Peloton,
and Spotify. It remains to be seen exactly how
attractive Apple One will be to consumers, but
with a month’s free trial, it seems like Apple has
it in the bag.
There’s no denying that Apple’s ventures
into premium news, gaming, television, and
fitness have been haphazard at best, but the
company is adamant to make a success of its
new offerings. Apple TV+ now offers a generous
selection of premium content, Apple Arcade
is an ideal option for families, and News+ will
become more affordable with an Apple One
subscription. Combined with the convenience
of iCloud, the prowess of Apple Music, and the
potential of Apple Fitness+, and Apple’s vision
for services looks brighter than ever.
