Here’s how much you’ll save with Apple One bundles [Updated] - 4 minutes read
The Apple One subscription bundle lets users save money on Apple’s subscription services like Apple Music, Apple TV+ and iCloud+ storage. The company offers three Apple One configurations. Check pricing on Apple One’s three tiers — Individual, Family and Premier — and find out what you get for your money (and, most importantly, how much you can save).
Apple One pricing: 3 subscription tiers
“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, in a press release when Apple One subscription bundles launched on October 30, 2020. “With Apple One, you can access the best of Apple entertainment across all your favorite devices with one simple subscription.”
The company currently offers three Apple One tiers: Individual, Family and Premiere. All three include Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and a certain amount of iCloud+ storage. The Premier tier adds Apple News+, delivering news content from partner publications, and Apple Fitness+, an interactive workout platform.
Here’s Apple One pricing on the three tiers:
Individual: Includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and 50GB of iCloud+ storage for $19.95 per month. (The Individual bundle cost $14.95 per month at launch in 2020.)
Family: Includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and 200GB of iCloud+ storage for $25.95 per month. This tier can be shared among up to six family members. (It cost $19.95 per month at launch.)
Premier: Includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, Apple Fitness+ and 2TB of iCloud+ storage for $37.95 per month. This tier also can be shared among up to six family members. (The Premier tier cost $29.95 per month at launch.)

Bundling Apple services
Apple One pricing continues to rise as Apple builds up its services. Apple TV+ just keeps adding feature films and streaming series. And Apple Arcade regularly adds new games that subscribers can play across Apple’s platforms.
A bundled Apple service package had been rumored — or, at least, suggested by industry analysts — since the start of Apple’s shift toward services. The potential upside for Apple is massive. Amazon Prime, the biggest bundle deal offered by a tech giant, counts more than 180 million subscribers worldwide. That’s a little less than half the total population of the United States.
Of course, what Apple is offering is very different. There’s no hardware component to it (if you can refer to Prime deliveries as “hardware”). Instead, it’s a subsidized bundle of several Apple services of varying popularity. While there’s no disputing the success of Apple Music and iCloud+, others — such as Apple News+ — reportedly haven’t attracted as many users as hoped. Apple does not reveal subscriber numbers for most of its services, including Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade.
Apple One launched on October 30, 2020, in more than 100 countries, with the Premier tier initially available only in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. Apple continues to expand the availability of its subscription bundles. Check availability in your country on Apple’s support page.
All three Apple One tiers offer a free one-month trial. Sign up for the free trial on Apple’s website.
