Apple One - New Subscription Bundle

[shopper150]

Has anyone transferred over to the new Apple One Bundle?

https://www.apple.com/uk/apple-one/

I currently have free Apple TV, so I think this is going to cost me more at the moment.

it hasn't launched yet??

I am also on the free Apple TV and am mildly annoyed that when I bought my new iMac it didn't restart the free 12-month period which if I created a new iCloud account it would have.

I won't by buying an Apple One subs ... tbh I wouldn't pay for the Apple TV when then expires in a couple of months time as there just isn't the contact volume on it.

Thank you, it’s there for me too, just no way of subscribing from the website which is odd.

It’s seems as they are moving to allow many things from the device only

I currently pay for Spotify and 3 of us pay for the 50gb plan so it's possibly only another £2 per month for the arcade and tv+. We do get the free TV+ until Feb but have just bought a new iPhone 11 so I assume we can get another free year with that? Anyway, more storage and the arcade for £2 per month seems reasonable.

I’m in a similar position as I’m paying for a Spotify family sub (£14.99 pm), Readly (£7.99 pm), office 365 (£7.99 pm) so I could get the top Apple one bundle and get most of the same benefits but have the fitness when it launches, Apple Arcade, Apple TV and an extra 1Tb of storage. If I need to use office then I’ll just jump on my work laptop or use the Apple equivalent so I should get a lot more.

Looks decent value to me. I might have subscribed but my tv is old so no chance of getting Apple TV without buying a box for £149. Don’t think I can get it through Freesat or Nowtv?

Tesco have 15% off iTunes gift cards for the next week. This allows you to bring down the cost of any Apple Services further.

That was like my issue with buying a new iMac half way into my current free TV+ ... Apple refused to extend or renew my TV+ period for the new allowed, even though if I created a new Apple ID I would have qualified for it.

Apple TV is on a 4K Firestick now, no need for an Apple TV box anymore.

O/T but do you have an iTunes Match and Apple Music subscription? I thought Apple Music included Match?

I ask as I also have both (free trial for Apple Music) and am thinking of subscribing and ditching ITunes Match but is there a justification to have both?

[robsa]

Yep I switched over today, it was worth it for me for the full sub for four people

I’ve just had it for years and haven’t got round to legitimising my MP3 collection using it! I had better do it soon as I’m sure they will discontinue it soon. Unless, as you suggest, it’s included with Apple Music.

I'm seriously tempted - which I guess means Apple have priced out just right.....

I already have the Family music & 200Gb so at £22/month already - so adding TV and News+ for £8 for the family seems a good deal - though I wasn't actually considering either right now.....

I'm tempted by the fitness stuff. I'm sure I could find free stuff on YouTube if I was truly motivated to get fitter, but I have the urge to get everything Apple.

Bit tight. Shame about that.
