Apple One is the latest subscription service from the Cupertino tech giant that combines some of Apple's best products into one package. The service was announced at the Apple 2020 event and includes iCloud, Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, Apple Arcade, Apple News Plus, and Apple's latest service, Apple Fitness Plus, which offers daily workouts and advanced tracking. of physical condition. The service starts at €14.95 for an individual plan; €19.95 for a family plan and €29.95 for the premium plan that includes the most iCloud storage.

Come to the point

We first heard about Apple One in August, when Bloomberg released a report that spoke to "people familiar with the effort." According to the report, Apple One will consist of "a series of packages that will allow customers to subscribe to several of the company's digital services at a lower monthly price."

Apple One release date

Apple's bundled subscription service is rumored to launch in October, alongside the iPhone 12 and possibly AirPods Studio (the brand's first over-ear headphones). However, with an Apple event coming later today (September 15), it could launch even sooner. No release window has been confirmed; in fact, the tech giant hasn't even authenticated the existence of the Apple One, so any potential release date is littered with rumours. That said, the October release date was originally suggested by Bloomberg, who spoke to "people familiar with the effort," and with recently released iOS code and website domain records related to Apple One on the day, it seems quite likely a late 2020 release date.

Apple One Price

Apple One is apparently designed to save customers money and get more users to sign up for Apple's subscription services. According to Bloomberg, "the offers are designed to save consumers between €2 and €5 per month, depending on the plan chosen." “For example, if a family subscribes to all of Apple's major services and the highest level of iCloud storage today, it would cost around $45 a month. A new plan could save you more than $5." While we're not sure exactly how much the different tiers will cost, we can make some assumptions based on the cost of Apple's existing services. According to this Bloomberg report, there will be multiple tiers at different Prices The basic Apple One package would include Apple Music and Apple TV Plus, which cost €9.99 / €9.99 / AU$11.99 and €4.99 / €4.99 / AU$7.99 per month respectively (with discounts available for families and students). Right now the combined cost of these two services is around $15 / £15 / AU$20 per month, so if the basic Apple One plan is going to be attractive, you should really bring that price down to around from €10. PS / €10 / AU$15. how much Apple can reduce that price Keep in mind that Apple One would also be said to include a new fitness subscription, which could therefore be in this second level. The next tier would include Apple News Plus, which normally costs $5 / £5 / AU$8 per month, while the more expensive tier will apparently get you more iCloud storage.

Apple One Services

Apple One would bundle the tech giant's existing subscription services into various tiered streaming packages. Services we expect to see in these offerings include Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, Apple Arcade, Apple News Plus, and a new subscription service that would offer virtual fitness classes, accessible on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. . At this time, it's unclear if these plans will be fixed or if you'll be able to choose the different subscriptions you want as part of your Apple One plan; we hope you will, otherwise you may have subscriptions that you really don't want access to the services you want. Are you new to Apple subscription services? Here's a look at all the different platforms you can sign up for: Apple Music Apple Music is the tech giant's answer to Spotify, with a huge library of songs, numbering around 50 million, across a wide range of genres. It's accessible on your smartphone, music player, TV or computer, as well as through Apple HomePod, using the voice command intelligence of Siri. In addition to music streaming, the service offers podcasts and the Apple 1 radio station (formerly known as Beats 1), as well as stations dedicated to pop hits and country music. Prices vary, with a cheaper plan aimed at students (£4.99 / £4.99 / AU$5.99), while individual accounts cost £9.99 / £9.99 / AU$11.99 PS There's also a family subscription for up to six people, which costs €14.99 / €14.99 / AU€17.99. Apple Music's inclusion in the Apple One bundle subscription service could give the streaming platform a much-needed boost in its battle to become the best music streaming service in the world; however, with 72 million subscribers compared to Spotify's 130 million, it has a long way to go. Apple TV Plus The Apple TV streaming service is the latest addition to Apple's services, offering a variety of original programming for a small monthly fee ($4.99 / £4.99 / AU$7.99). And while the launch schedule was fairly straightforward, the service gradually expanded to include other shows and shows beyond the (exceptional) The Morning Show it debuted with. It's not perfectly implemented, having been merged with the Apple TV app and lacking clarity on what's included and what you need to rent/purchase from a licensed partner. However, you get a free one-year subscription when you buy a new iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV, so it's worth using after your hardware purchase.

For the price of $4.99 / £4.99 / AU$7.99, you get access to over 100 independent titles to play on your iPhone, iPad, Macbook or Apple TV, that is, none of those - These are just AAA blockbusters, they tend to be smaller, shorter. specific cases that can run on the average Apple phone. But there are some real gems here, like Sayonara Wild Knights, and a mix of exclusive titles (Card of Darkness) or ports of existing games (Enter The Gungeon). You can even connect a PS4 DualShock or Xbox One controller to enhance gameplay too. Apple News Plus Apple News Plus gives you access to over 300 high-quality digital magazines and premium newspapers in the Apple News app. Premium digital subscriptions like the Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, Wired, and National Geographic are all included in Apple News Plus, which means there's a $9.99/£9.99/AU$14.99 fee per month.

How about an Apple fitness service?

Apple is believed to be developing a subscription service for interactive workouts, much like the ones offered by Peloton. Details are scant at the moment, and it's unclear if the workouts will be streamed live from the studios or fully recorded, but they'll likely be accessible on a variety of devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Peloton has targeted its services squarely at Apple users (it launched a dedicated Apple Watch app just a few months ago, and its newly launched Peloton Bike+ can be paired with an Apple Watch with just one click), it does therefore face a very fierce competition if Apple releases a similar product as part of an Apple One bundle, especially if it lowers Peloton's monthly fees.
