Big tech companies are always looking for new ways to tie us into their ecosystems, but there is something to be said for the simplicity of a single monthly subscription. Apple One bundles several Apple services into one payment, which is cheaper than subscribing to the same services individually. If you already subscribe to Apple Fitness+ and News+, it’s a great deal for you. The question is whether it can entice anyone using a mix of first- and third-party services to switch completely to Apple and lock that walled garden gate.
Here we break down what Apple One includes, how much it costs, how to subscribe, and other details about the service in case you're thinking of signing up.
Updated July 2025: We've added information about new benefits, including Apple Invites and Apple News+ Food, and clarification about Family Sharing.
What Does Apple One Include?
Apple One comes in three tiers:
Individual: For $19.95 per month, you get Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and 50 gigabytes of iCloud storage for one person.
Family: For $25.95 per month, you get Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and 200 GB of iCloud storage, plus you can share access with up to five other people.
Premier: For $37.95 per month, you get Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, 2 terabytes of iCloud storage, News+, and Fitness+, plus you can share access with up to five other people.
How Much Can I Save?
Naturally, cost savings only apply if you're subscribed to all of these services separately. If you only subscribe to Apple Music and nothing else, for example, then you're not going to save money by switching to Apple One's Individual plan. That said, compared to the usual pricing for the included services, the Individual plan saves you $9 per month, the Family plan saves you $11, and the Premier plan saves you $29.
