Apple One includes Music, TV+, Arcade, iCloud+, and on top tiers also Fitness+ and News+, all under one bill.
Apple’s bundle pulls several subscriptions into a single plan with one charge each month. The point is simple: fewer bills, more value, and easy sharing where supported. Below, you’ll see exactly what comes with each tier, how much storage you get, who can share, and smart ways to choose the plan that fits your routine.
Apple One Tiers At A Glance
This quick table shows the lineup, what’s inside, and how sharing works. It also lists iCloud+ storage, since that’s a major driver for many buyers.
| Plan | Included Services | Storage & Sharing |
|---|---|---|
| Individual | Music, TV+, Arcade, iCloud+ | 50GB; one user |
| Family | Music, TV+, Arcade, iCloud+ | 200GB; share with up to five people |
| Premier | Music, TV+, Arcade, iCloud+, Fitness+, News+ | 2TB; share with up to five people |
What The Services Do
Music
Large streaming library, curated stations, lossless tracks on many albums, and radio shows. Works on Apple devices, the web, Android, and many speakers. Family and Premier plans allow sharing through your Family group.
TV+
Original shows, films, and select sports in supported regions. Watch on Apple devices, the web, smart TVs, and streaming sticks. Downloads on mobile help during flights or long commutes.
Arcade
Catalog of games with no ads or in-app purchases. Download on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV and keep playing offline once installed. One subscription unlocks the full library, so kids won’t see purchase prompts inside games.
iCloud+
Online storage for photos, device backups, and files, along with extras like Private Relay (beta in some regions), Hide My Email, and features for HomeKit Secure Video. Storage size depends on your plan tier.
Fitness+
Guided workouts and meditations led by trainers, with live metrics from Apple Watch during sessions. Included on Premier. You can stream sessions on iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV and join from home with minimal gear.
News+
Magazine and newspaper access in supported countries. Also on Premier. Topics range from tech and business to travel, health, and lifestyle.
Feature Details That Matter Day To Day
Sharing Rules
Family and Premier plans let you share across up to six members in your Family group, including the organizer. That covers Music, TV+, Arcade, iCloud+ storage, and—where available—News+ and Fitness+. Each person keeps a private library and recommendations, so your playlists and watch history stay yours.
Storage Flexibility
You can raise storage beyond the bundle amount by adding extra iCloud+ on top of Apple One. Families can stack storage tiers to reach very large totals. Apple details how stacking works here: iCloud storage with Apple One. This setup is popular with heavy photo and video users who want ample room for full-resolution media and device backups.
Device Reach
You don’t need all Apple hardware to get value. Music and TV+ run on the web and many third-party devices. Fitness+ ties closely to Apple Watch for live metrics, yet guided videos still play on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Arcade spans iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV with controller support on many titles.
Close Variant Heading: Apple One Bundle Contents And Tiers
Here’s a deeper view of what you actually get, with practical notes on daily use and how costs compare to buying services one by one.
TV+ And Arcade Content Depth
TV+ offers originals across drama, comedy, kids, and sports. New seasons land on a steady rhythm, so a household plan often sees near-daily viewing. Arcade suits families that prefer polished titles without surprise charges, ideal for iPad sessions and living-room play on Apple TV with a game controller.
Why Storage Drives Many Upgrades
The jump from 50GB to 200GB grants room for full-size photo libraries and reliable device backups across a couple of phones. Moving to 2TB on Premier helps multi-device households, 4K shooters, and anyone syncing ProRAW photos or home video projects. If you also add standalone iCloud+ storage, the total pool grows further for everyone in the Family group.
Trial And Switching Notes
New subscribers often see a free trial. If you already run a trial for one service, starting the bundle may end that trial early and shift you into a single bundle trial instead. Apple explains the setup process on this page: bundle Apple subscriptions.
Pricing And Savings Basics
List prices vary by country, and taxes can change the final number. In many cases, the math favors the bundle once you pay for Music and TV+ and also need iCloud+ storage. Add Arcade or step up to Premier for News+ and Fitness+, and the gap usually widens. The Family and Premier tiers shine when five or six people share, since each person gets private profiles and the same entertainment lineup.
| User Type | Best Plan | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Solo Listener With Small Photo Library | Individual | Music and TV+ are core; Arcade is a nice bonus; 50GB fits one phone backup and light photo use. |
| Two Adults And Kids With iPads | Family | Share Music profiles; TV+ and Arcade get steady use; 200GB suits multiple devices and growing albums. |
| News Reader, Watch Workouts, Huge Photo Roll | Premier | News+ and Fitness+ add daily sessions; 2TB prevents storage stress across many devices. |
How To Pick The Right Tier
Start With What You Already Use
List the services you pay for today. If two or more line up with the bundle, compare monthly totals. If you also want to raise iCloud storage, the bundle tends to win once you pass the 200GB mark or plan to share with five or six people.
Check Regional Availability
News+ and Fitness+ don’t run everywhere. Confirm your country before choosing a plan that relies on them. TV+ and Music are far wider, and Arcade spans many regions as well. If a plan lists a service that isn’t sold in your region, that service won’t appear in your subscription options.
Weigh Sharing Needs
A household of five or six can extract far more value from Family and Premier since each person gets a private Music library, watch history, game progress, and personal iCloud space within the shared pool. Parents can enable Ask to Buy and Screen Time limits for kids while still letting them enjoy Arcade titles without in-app purchases.
Setup, Upgrades, And Cancellation
How To Subscribe
On iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and pick the bundle tier. On Mac, use System Settings > Apple ID > Media & Purchases > Subscriptions. You can also join from the web for services like Music and TV+ if you prefer a browser flow.
Change Your Plan Later
You can switch between tiers at any time. When you raise your plan, the change usually takes effect right away with a prorated charge. Stepping down typically starts on your next renewal; your storage must fit within the lower limit before the renewal date.
Cancel Without Losing Data
When you cancel, your device backups and files remain in iCloud for a grace period. If your usage is above the free quota, uploads may pause until you delete files or buy iCloud+ again. Photos and files stored on your devices remain on those devices.
Real-World Savings Scenarios
Music + TV+ + iCloud+ Already In Place
If you already pay for Music and TV+ and want cloud storage for full-size photos, the bundle often drops the bill while adding Arcade. That swap also simplifies billing with one renewal date and one receipt.
Family With Many Devices
Two adults, two teens, and a younger child easily tap Music profiles, TV+ originals, and Arcade titles. The 200GB pool often works for a while, but heavy video shooters may bump into limits within months. Premier’s 2TB solves that pain and adds workouts and magazine reading without extra standalone fees.
Creator With 4K Footage
People who record video for travel vlogs or school projects tend to push storage the hardest. Premier grants room for ProRes and long takes, and adding standalone iCloud+ on top can raise the pool again for multi-device workflows.
Tips To Get More From The Bundle
Manage Photo Storage
Turn on Optimize iPhone Storage to keep full-resolution photos in the cloud while storing device-sized versions on your phone. This saves space without changing your library. On Mac, enable the same setting in Photos > Settings.
Set Shared Features Carefully
In Family Sharing, enable purchase sharing if you want a single card for the group. Use Ask to Buy for kids and set Screen Time limits for Arcade play windows or app categories. Everyone still keeps their own Music library and recommendations.
Use Downloads Wisely
Queue TV+ episodes for flights and road trips. In Arcade, look for titles with offline play so kids can game in areas with weak signal. Clear old downloads now and then to keep devices snappy.
Switching From Standalone Plans
If you move from separate subscriptions to the bundle, overlapping days usually get credited automatically. Trials for individual services can end early once the bundle starts, and the bundle trial then takes over for the group of services. Any playlists, watch lists, and game progress carry over since your Apple ID stays the same.
Who Gets The Most Value
Households invested in Apple hardware gain the most, especially when multiple devices back up nightly and photos sync across phones, tablets, and Macs. Premier fits news fans and Watch users who enjoy guided workouts. Travelers and students often enjoy TV+ for offline viewing and Arcade for screen-time that avoids purchase pop-ups.
Final Checks Before You Buy
- Confirm regional access to News+ and Fitness+ if those matter to you.
- Total up current bills for Music, TV+, and iCloud+; compare to the bundle.
- Estimate storage needs for full-resolution photos and video backups.
- Decide who will join your Family group and manage the plan.
With those points sorted, the bundle becomes an easy call for many people. It trims monthly costs, removes ad-driven upsells in games, and gives a single storage pool that scales with your devices.
