Is the Apple One Subscription worth getting?

Well, the short answer is yes, definitely. If you actually use all of the said services, then it’s truly worth subscribing to. But the only plan that we would recommend getting is the Family one. If you and your friends (or family members) are already devoted to the Apple media services, it’s a no-brainer deal. You would get all the Apple services and the 200 GB of iCloud+ as well.

If you can get at least 3 other friends (or family members) to join you on board, you will be able to enjoy the best of both worlds at only 5 bucks/ person. Of course, the more, the merrier.

Let’s break down the individual plans to see what’s in it for us:

• Apple Music: $9.99 /month
• Apple TV+: $4.99 /month
• Arcade: $4.99 /month
• iCloud Storage: 50GB – $0.99 /month, 200GB – $2.99 /month & 2TB – $9.99 /month
• Apple News+: $9.99 /month
• Fitness+: $9.99 /month

(These are US monthly prices, and the actual figures in your country or region might vary significantly.)

Bonus tip

Many of these services, like Apple TV+, Arcade, and Fitness+, are already available for free when you purchase a new Apple device. Similarly, in some yearly plans, you get an additional discount. (Like almost $40 off with Fitness+ yearly plan). So, do the math and subscribe to Apple One only if you really require all the mentioned services.

Signing Off…

Well, you know my thoughts on subscribing to Apple One; for an Apple addict like me, it does save some $$. But individual plans might be great if you’re someone who does not use all services or seldom uses them. Or becoming part of a Family Sharing group could also be budget-friendly.
