Apple One is a subscription bundle that combines several Apple services into one monthly plan. Instead of paying separately for Apple Music, Apple TV+, iCloud+, and other services, you pay for one bundle tier.
Apple One availability, pricing, storage amounts, and included services vary by country and can change. Check current details in your Apple account or on Apple’s Apple One page before subscribing.
Does This Affect You?
Use this if you already pay for more than one Apple subscription or want to know whether Apple One is cheaper than separate plans.
What Apple One Bundles
- Apple Music: ad-free music streaming and offline downloads.
- Apple TV+: Apple original shows and movies.
- Apple Arcade: a game catalog without ads or in-app purchases.
- iCloud+: paid iCloud storage beyond the free 5 GB, with higher storage on larger tiers.
- Apple News+ and Apple Fitness+: included on the top tier in supported countries.
Each service can usually be subscribed to separately. Apple One is useful when the combined bundle costs less than the separate services you already want.
Plan Tiers Explained
- Individual: designed for one person. It includes the core services and the smallest iCloud+ allowance, such as 50 GB in the US.
- Family: includes the core services with a larger iCloud+ allowance, such as 200 GB in the US, and can be shared with up to five other people through Family Sharing.
- Premier: adds services such as Apple News+ and Apple Fitness+ where available, includes the largest common iCloud+ allowance such as 2 TB in the US, and can also be shared with Family Sharing.
Family and Premier sharing use your existing Family Sharing group. You do not need to create one shared Apple ID.
Subscribe or Check Your Plan
- Open Settings.
- Tap your name.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- If you already subscribe, open Apple One to see the tier, renewal date, and price.
- If you are not subscribed, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, and look for Apple One or search for it.
- Use the same Subscriptions screen to change or cancel later.
If you already pay for an included standalone service, Apple usually rolls that service into the Apple One bundle so you are not billed twice for the same Apple service.
Before You Switch
It Only Saves Money If You Use the Services
If you only need iCloud+ storage, a standalone iCloud+ plan may be cheaper. Apple One makes more sense when you want two or three included services anyway.
It Does Not Include Everything Apple Sells
Apple One does not include AppleCare+, Apple Card, hardware purchases, or one-time App Store purchases. It is a bundle of recurring Apple services.
Canceling Removes the Bundle
If you cancel Apple One, the included services need their own subscriptions again or return to whatever free tier exists in your region.
