Apple subscription services now include Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, iCloud, and more recently – Fitness+. All of which are available for a monthly fee (and some yearly). To make enjoying these services easier to enjoy, Apple has unveiled Apple One.
Apple One bundles Apple’s subscription services in one simple plan at one set monthly price. Offering savings of up to A$39 inc. GST and the ability to share selected plans with up to six family members.
“Apple One makes enjoying Apple subscription services easier than ever, including Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, iCloud, and more,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. “With Apple One, you can access the best of Apple entertainment across all your favourite devices with one simple subscription.”
