Subscriptions to Apple One Package are now available-Fitness+ will launch later this year

 

Apple has launched its latest bundled subscriptions for Apple One. Music, TV+, Arcade, and iCloud storage are bundled with the latest subscriptions at one monthly price. These new plans allow users to save, while still sharing the subscriptions at a lower monthly cost with their families.

During the earnings call yesterday, Apple CFO Luca Maestri said that the company will be rolling out its Apple One packages today. It has also been announced that Fitness+ will not be published today, and will be introduced later this quarter.

Originally, Apple One subscriptions were revealed at WWDC 2020. For the subscriptions, Apple announced 3 distinct levels, each based on a different group of users. Music, TV+, Arcade, and iCloud Storage will be the default collection of apps in all three levels. News + and Fitness + will be included in the Premium tier, available only in 6 countries at launch, although the latter will not be launched until later this year.

Apple One subscription bundles

Here are the three Apple One subscription bundles that the company will be offering:

Individual - $14.95/month

  • Apple Music
  • Apple TV+
  • Apple Arcade
  • 50 iCloud Storage

Family - $19.95/month

  • Apple Music
  • Apple TV+
  • Apple Arcade
  • 200GB iCloud Storage
  • Can be shared with six family members

Premier - $29.95/month

  • Apple Music
  • Apple TV+
  • Apple Arcade
  • Apple News+
  • Apple Fitness+
  • 2TB iCloud Storage
  • Can be shared with six family members
These are the savings users can expect from these subscription bundles:
  • Individual: $6/month
  • Family: $8/month
  • Premier: $25/month
Premier will only be available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada, while individual and family packages will be released in over 100 countries.

These packages are part of Apple's goal of growing its customer base of services and recurring sales through subscriptions. They tend to be decent value for money at first glance, but Apple has really skimped on the amount of iCloud storage it provides for each package. With its Family subscription, the company provides a limited amount of room, just 200GB. It just seems unjustified to share anything less than 1 TB amongst 6 family members.

Apple notes on its website that additional iCloud storage can be purchased separately, but for users who do, they completely miss out on any savings that these bundles offer. 2TB storage costs $9.99, and adding it to the Family bundle means that you end up paying $2 more, instead of saving $8.

Are you going to receive an Apple One bundle? And if so, which one? In the comments below, let us know.

Night Mode on iPhone: Everything You Need to Know

Image
The newest iPhones from Apple, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, are fitted with a new feature called Night mode, designed to take crisp, clear pictures even if lighting conditions, such as at night, are low.   Unfortunately, Night mode is not supported on the   iPhone SE   or   iPhone XR . It remains an exclusive feature for the ‌iPhone 11‌ line of phones. As the name suggests, Night mode allows you to take pictures at night, with lighting that has never been possible on an iPhone before, thanks to new hardware and new machine learning algorithms. Although Night Mode brightens photos, it also preserves the feeling of night time, balancing an image's light and dark elements. For a while now, Android smartphone manufacturers such as Google and Samsung have had unique modes to brighten up evening shots, and Apple is on equal footing with these other smartphone cameras with the 2019 iPhones. What is Night Mode? Night mode is an automatic setting that take...

Best 2021 Xbox controllers: Get the advantage of these third-party and official pads with these

Image
  (Pocket-lint) - The Xbox controller has a pretty remarkable lineage already - following the very unusual design embraced by the original console's chunky gamepad, the Xbox 360 introduced a new type that's stood the test of time. It has been updated only marginally over the Xbox One years, and for the Xbox Series X and S as well, it has remained very similar. That's a testament to a great deal of architecture, but it also has some limitations. Picking up a new controller might be a game-changer, because it's not quite the right shape for you, or whether you want some extra buttons and features.

  Buyer's Guide for the iPad Air 4 vs. iPad Air 3 Apple updated its iconic iPad Air in September 2020, adding a faster A14 Bionic processor, a wider display, USB-C, compatibility with the Magic Keyboard, a variety of colours, and a complete redesign. While Apple is no longer selling the previous 3rd generation iPad Air from 2019, it continues to be readily available at third-party retailers.
