Is Apple One a good deal? In this article we are going to be taking an in-depth look at the newly-announcedbundle and its various tiers. Apple is pitching it as a good deal for users, so as iDB’s resident deals expert, I wanted to dive in and see if that was actually the case.
Before we get started, it’s important to know the different plans. Here are your 3 Apple One options:
Is Apple One a good deal?
Individual plan – $15/month
Let’s start off with the Individual plan, which includes access to Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and 50GB of iCloud storage for [let’s call it] $15 per month. If we break out the prices of each individual service, we have $10 for Music, $5 for TV+, $5 for Arcade and $1 for 50GB of iCloud storage, for atotal of $21.
Family plan – $20/month
The Family plan breaks down in essentially the same way, except that the 200GB of iCloud Storage is normally $3 a month and Apple Music Family is $15 per month. So we’ll just add $7 to the other services for atotal of $28.
Premier plan – $30/month
The Premier plan adds in a few more services and more iCloud storage, so we’ll go over the individual (monthly) prices again: $15 for Music Family, $5 for TV+, $5 for Arcade, $10 for News+, $10 for Fitness+ and $10 for 2TB iCloud storage. That gives you atotal of $55/month.
Apple One is a good deal, but like most bundles, it really depends on the services you are currently using and how many people are in your family. Not surprisingly, the most expensive plan is the one that offers the most savings, but do you really need all these services? Only you may answer this question. If the answer is no, then Apple One might not be a good deal for you.
We’d be interested in hearing from you about the Apple One bundle. Are you considering it? If so, which one, and do you think it’s a good deal?
