Yes, Apple TV+ is bundled with every Apple One tier—Individual, Family, and Premier—alongside iCloud+ and other services.
If you’re weighing a single streaming subscription against a bundle, the big question is whether Apple TV+ sits inside Apple One. It does. Every tier includes TV+, and the rest of the bundle adds storage and other perks. Below, you’ll see what each plan delivers, how pricing compares, where free trials fit in, and the simple steps to turn it on for yourself or your household.
What You Get In Each Apple One Plan
All tiers include TV+. The difference lies in storage, sharing, and the extra services that come with the top plan. This quick chart lays out the bundle at a glance.
| Plan | Included Services | iCloud+ Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Individual | Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade | 50 GB |
| Family | Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade (shareable with up to five people) | 200 GB |
| Premier | Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, Apple Fitness+ (shareable with up to five people) | 2 TB |
Apple publishes the latest lineup and pricing on its Apple One plans page, and confirms TV+ is in every tier on the Apple TV+ overview. Those two pages are the most direct references when you’re checking what’s included.
Is Apple Tv Plus Part Of The Apple One Bundle Plans?
Yes. TV+ comes with all plans. Individual and Family each pack Music and Arcade next to TV+, with 50 GB or 200 GB of iCloud+ storage. Premier adds News+ and Fitness+ and boosts storage to 2 TB. Family and Premier let you share with up to five people through Family Sharing, so your household can stream and play under one bill.
Why The Bundle Makes Sense
TV+ on its own is billed monthly after a free trial. The bundle folds it in, then offsets part of that cost with the other services and storage you’d likely pay for anyway. If you already pay for Music and iCloud+, the math often favors the bundle. If you don’t need Music or Arcade, a standalone TV+ month-to-month can be fine; the savings show up once two or more paid services stack up.
What Each Tier Adds Beyond TV+
Music
A full streaming library with playlists, radio stations, and downloads for offline listening. It’s the biggest single add-on value in the lower tiers.
Arcade
A catalog of games without ads or in-app purchases. Family plan holders can share across devices so kids and adults can play without extra charges inside the games.
News+
Included only with Premier, this unlocks magazine and newspaper access in one place. If you already subscribe to multiple magazines, the upgrade can pay for itself.
Fitness+
Also in Premier, this brings guided workouts and meditations across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and TV. New sessions roll in weekly.
Price Check And Where Savings Show Up
Apple posts current prices for TV+ and each Apple One tier on its official pages. TV+ lists a monthly rate after the trial, while Apple One shows plan totals with the services baked in. Once you’re paying for two or more of the paid services in the bundle, you can often lower your combined bill by switching to Apple One.
| Plan | Monthly Price (USD) | Notes On Value |
|---|---|---|
| Apple TV+ (standalone) | $12.99 | Streaming only. Trial offered to new subscribers. |
| Apple One Individual | $19.95 | TV+ + Music + Arcade + 50 GB iCloud+. One account, no sharing. |
| Apple One Family | $25.95 | Same core trio + 200 GB iCloud+ and sharing with up to five people. |
| Apple One Premier | $37.95 | Everything in Family + News+ and Fitness+ + 2 TB iCloud+. |
If you’re a solo listener who only wants TV+ and no Music or Arcade, standalone TV+ keeps the bill lean. If you stream music daily or back up photos and videos to iCloud+, the bundle figure often wins. A family that already splits Music and needs shared storage usually lands on the middle tier. Premier is for homes that read in News+ and want guided workouts in Fitness+ on top of everything else.
Trials, Device Promos, And Regions
Free Trials And Device Offers
New TV+ users get a short trial through the TV app. Many new Apple devices also ship with a promo that grants a longer TV+ trial. When you switch to Apple One, the bundle grants a one-month trial for services you don’t already pay for, so you can see the full stack before the first bill hits. If you already subscribe to a piece of the bundle, that existing plan rolls into Apple One on your next billing date.
Country Availability
Apple rolls out services by region, and offerings can vary. If you travel or relocate, content catalogs and certain services may differ from your home country. Apple maintains a country list that shows where each service is live, which helps before you move an account or share a bundle with family members in different places.
Family Sharing And How Sharing Works
Family and Premier allow sharing with up to five other people, for a total of six in a group. Everyone gets their own Music library, Arcade progress, News+ sections, and TV+ watch history. Storage is pooled at the plan level, so each member draws from the shared iCloud+ capacity. If someone is already paying for extra iCloud+ storage on their own, they can keep that plan or switch to the shared storage when you invite them.
Common Scenarios
- Parents + teens: Pick the Family tier to combine Music and Arcade while giving each person a private TV+ queue. 200 GB often covers photos and device backups; heavy video shooters may still want Premier’s 2 TB.
- Couple with photo-heavy libraries: Family tier fits if Music and Arcade are in play; take Premier if you also want Fitness+ sessions and News+ reading.
- Solo power user: Individual works when you want Music, TV+, Arcade, and a basic amount of iCloud+ space under one sign-in. If your photo library keeps growing, Premier’s storage bump can be the better long-term move.
Turning It On: Simple Steps
You can start the bundle from the iPhone or iPad Settings app, on a Mac under System Settings, or on the web from your Apple ID account. Here’s a quick path from iPhone:
- Open Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions.
- Choose Apple One.
- Pick Individual, Family, or Premier, then confirm.
- If you’re the organizer for Family Sharing, invite people under Family in Settings. They’ll get their own sign-ins and private recommendations.
- Open the TV app and start watching. Music, Arcade, News+, and Fitness+ activate under the same Apple ID.
Billing, Upgrades, And Storage Questions
How Billing Rolls Over
If you already subscribe to TV+ or Music, the bundle replaces those single charges on your next renewal date. The same goes for iCloud+ storage: once the Apple One trial ends, your total storage becomes the amount in the bundle. Your files and backups stay in place; nothing gets deleted when storage migrates.
Changing Tiers
You can move between Individual, Family, and Premier at any time. If the household grows, step up to Family for sharing. If you outgrow 200 GB, jump to Premier for the 2 TB pool and the extra services. If your needs shrink, step down and keep only the stack you use.
Standalone Add-Ons
People often ask if they can mix and match a custom stack inside the bundle. Apple One offers fixed sets; there isn’t a way to swap out Arcade for another single service or pick only Music with extra storage inside Apple One. You can still buy individual subscriptions outside Apple One if a narrow setup fits you better.
Where TV+ Fits In Streaming Mix
TV+ centers on Apple Originals—series, films, sports deals like MLS Season Pass access inside the TV app (sold separately), and live events when offered. If you’re mainly here for a few Apple Originals, then the standalone plan can be enough. If you also want Music for daily listening and iCloud+ for device backups, the bundle makes more sense. That’s the sweet spot many buyers end up in after a month of real use.
Edge Cases And Gotchas
- Different countries in one family: Catalogs vary. Some items may not appear for every member depending on region rights.
- Running out of storage: If photos and videos push the shared pool to its limit, clear space or move to a higher tier. iCloud+ storage upgrades outside Apple One can still be layered in some regions if needed, but the cleanest path is Premier for most households.
- Existing trials: If you already used a trial for a service, Apple One won’t repeat that trial for the same item. You can still try the other services in the bundle for a month.
- Device promos: New devices often come with a TV+ trial. You can accept that, then start Apple One later; or start Apple One now and your next billing date will reflect any remaining time from eligible promos.
The Takeaway
Every Apple One plan includes TV+. Pick based on storage and add-on services: Individual for a single user, Family for sharing, Premier for the full stack with News+ and Fitness+. If you already pay for Music and iCloud+, the bundle usually trims the combined bill and keeps everything under one login. If you just want Apple Originals, stay with standalone TV+. The choice comes down to whether you’ll use the extras that ride along with TV+ in the bundle.
