Launched in 2019, Apple integrated its services into three streamlined subscription packages known as Apple One. For those deeply embedded in the Apple ecosystem, this option presents potential savings. Below is a detailed look at the subscription costs and what each service would cost if purchased independently.

Pricing for Apple One

The Individual plan, priced at $19.95 each month, includes 50GB of iCloud+ storage and subscriptions to Apple Music, Apple TV+, and Apple Arcade. For $25.95 per month, the Family plan increases the storage to 200GB and enables sharing of these four services with up to five family members. The Premier plan, available for $37.95 monthly, includes a generous 2TB of storage, plus access to Apple Fitness+ and Apple News+.

Below is a detailed examination of each of the six services encompassed by Apple One, assisting you in selecting the plan that best suits your needs.

Delve into Apple Music

Apple Music distinguishes itself from competitors like Spotify Premium with a library that features music enhanced for Spatial Audio, utilizing Dolby Atmos technology to create an immersive sound experience, all without additional fees (assuming compatible headphones or sound systems). Furthermore, users have the option to download tracks for offline enjoyment and can tune into exclusive radio shows, including The Zane Lowe Show, renowned for its in-depth artist interviews. The service also features the Apple Music Classical app, boasting an extensive selection of classical music.

Understanding iCloud+

Many service providers limit the available storage on their cloud platforms. If you’re an avid photographer or frequently handle large files, upgrading your storage may be worthwhile. With iCloud+, your storage capacity hinges on your chosen plan, and users on the Family or Premier plans can share storage with up to five relatives. This upgrade streamlines the synchronization process as well. Additionally, iCloud+ allows for storing security camera footage, enhances your browsing privacy in Safari using the Private Relay feature, and enables the creation of a custom domain iCloud email address.
