Pick and choose

There are three Apple One bundles to choose from, Individual, Family, and Premier. As you might expect, they cater to different needs and go up in price accordingly. Like most package deals, the more you spend, the better the savings.

• Individual: The Individual package includes four Apple services, Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and 50GB of iCloud storage. This bundle costs $14.95 per month and saves you around $6/month ($72/year).
• Family: The Family Package includes the same services (Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade) and an increased 200GB of iCloud storage for $19.95 per month. These services can also be shared among up to six family members for savings of $8/month ($96/year).
• Premier: The Premier package includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, Apple Fitness+, and 2TB of iCloud storage for $29.95 per month and can be shared among up to six family members. That means it includes Apple News+ ($9.99/month) and Apple Fitness+ ($9.99/month) but is only $10 more than the Family package. For a family, that means savings of $25/month ($300/year). Even if you're an individual, you're still saving $20/month here, making it a no-brainer for most.

Yes, the Premier package gives you the best deal

If you need a family plan, the Apple One Premier package is the one where you'll save the most per month. At $29.95, this package will save you $25 per month over the cost of buying each service separately.

Apple One will include a 30-day free trial for any services that customers do not already have. With Apple One, customers will receive only one invoice each month, and they can easily change or cancel their Apple One plan at any time. So not only are you making big monthly savings by bundling the services together, but it's also much more convenient to just have one payment and invoice each month. With the Family and Premier plans, up to six family members can access all the included services with their own personal accounts and preferences.

The new bundles are available to customers in over 100 countries and regions and allow users to enjoy their favorite Apple services across their favorite devices, including iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, and Mac.
