Apple loves its first party applications and devices. iPhone, Mac, Apple TV, Apple News, Apple Music-Voit live with a solid, technical life without leaving the Apple ecosystem. But before these services, it was not customary to combine all these services, and if you wanted to buy every Apple device and order every Apple, it costs you more than a pretty penny. Then, in 2020, Apple introduced the Apple One app, an all-in-one order that gave you access to Apple TV+, Apple Music, Apple Arcade and 50 GT ICLOUGE. Or you can also update your Apple Fitness+ and Apple News+, as well as to hit yourself up to 2 KB storage.
Problem? Although Apple One is still cheaper than paying every Apple’s services separately, it is also a fairly hefty price increase after launch. Originally published at the starting price of $ 14.95/month and the maximum price is $ 29.95/month. It costs you now any $ 19.95/month for $ 37.95/month. Has the service really improved so much in five years to be worthy of additional costs or do you better choose the Apple you want and order them only?
Apple One Plan
Apple currently has three Apple One PlanAnd the basics are the same as ever. Currently you can order:
-
It Individual A plan that gives you Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and 50 GT ICloud+ Storage $ 19.95 per month (more than $ 14.95 a month in 2020).
-
It Family A plan that gives you and up to five people Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and 200 GT ICloud+ Storage for $ 24.95 per month (more than $ 19.95 a month in 2020).
-
Premier plan that gives you and up to five people Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple Fitness+, Apple News+and 2TB ICloud+Storage for $ 37.95 per month (more than $ 29.95 per month in 2020).
A few key extracts must already be considered. First of all, all of these packages have risen above the price according to a simple pace of inflation, according to an official US Work Statistics Inflation Calculator– Although the family plan comes mainly. Secondly, there is no way to get Apple News+and Apple Fitness+a cheaper plan, even though it has always been. Thirdly, even though you still have a lot of value if you have the entire Apple fanbase household, the basic offers are the same as they have always been (without extra bonuses in the application for Apple One subscribers), which will not paint a great picture for Apple.
However, the whole story is a bit more nuanced than these hard numbers refer to. Apple had improved its services since 2020 with higher prices, although you may not see so many of them depending on your plan.
Here’s what you get from the Apple One application in 2025, between all different bundled services.
Apple News+
Perhaps the biggest value values for Apple One subscribers are in Apple News+, which is a pity for anyone below the prime minister. Apparently, tips on magazines like The New York Times, the Premium News App on Apple has been a bit late, and more attention is paid to games and recipes.
The last time there is Smiley gamewhat is Wordle But with smileys. World smiley day 2025, it complements the existing puzzle of the application, which were launched in 2023 with support points such as daily crosswords and Sodoku. This means that there is a lot to choose from, even though Emoji is not a cup of tea, although this latest addition is certainly the most unusual and shows its dedication to making unique experiences that I hope will continue in the future. (If you are wondering how Emoji Wordle would even work, Apple gives you three short sentences, and asks you to use the selection of smileys to fill sentences using as little movements as possible. The games are made by Genmoji that is made with Apple Intelligence, which can help the game as it continues, but can also rub the wrong path.)
If you are not puzzles, the News+ app also got a Food department This spring, full of “tens of thousands of recipes, restaurant reviews, kitchen tips and much more”. They are pulled from several sources, including publishers, such as allrecipes and serious eating, which make their article available for free, even though Apple suppliers help to curate them and pack everything in an easy -to -filled, stylish list.
To be honest, puzzles and recipes are not what I go to the news, but I know I’m in a minority at this point. With these additions, Apple will do its best to stay up to date as applications like now games are still exploding.
Apple Music+
If you are not a lot of news, you will be happy to know that Apple Music+ has received its own fair share of updates since 2020. Especially in 2021 Apple Music+ brought a regional sound and an extended losing voice to the entire list. Now, with iOS 26 on the horizon, it has been set after the major new features in years. These include the translated lyrics, lyrics pronunciation guides, an automation feature that helps your songs seamlessly mix each other, animated cover photo with a lock screen, the ability to attach your favorite playlists and karaoke feature for subscribers with both iPhone-Jios 26 and Apple TV.
That’s a lot, and even though these features are not yet technically public, you can already try them through the developer Beta area when public beta is likely to fall soon.
Apple Fitness+
I can’t get to the gym as often as I should, so my eyes are kind of glazed over these updates as they have come. In other words, my colleague Beth Skwarecki would be great for one of them: If you are a Strava user, Apple Fitness+ now offers Strava integrationto obtain more detailed operating statistics. Otherwise, the service now has many weeks of exercise programs that will help you build your body with time and have done it Custom plansSubmitted in 2023, easier to find.
Apple -arcade
Game! It’s something I know about. Apple Arcade has been a bit of a strange duck since it started, debut exclusively on the popular titles of the console and PC, all without any micro -transactions. The choice changes every time new games are added, even if others are either dropped or losing exclusive rights. Here you will find good stuff with my personal favorite Sonic Dream TeamBut focusing on more traditional games has collected a mixed reception, considering that the audience is still iPhone and iPad players who may be more accustomed to the operation of screen-centered controls and picking and gaming. There are also often people who do not have Apple devices every time the service always reports Apple, but it must be used so far for pain players.
What do you think so far?
Whether Apple Arcade is worth it or not, it probably depends on its library at the time of the order, but there is one upcoming update that will make it better regardless of the games available – Apple Games app. On the coming of the iOS 26, this application is technically available for everyone, but it is a controller navigable and also conveniently lists all Apple Arcade games in one place, free distractions. It’s a big improvement in the script of the App Store to find them all.
Apple TV+
Apple TV experience has received several feature updates during the year, especially Application of the application With better content finding and enhanced subtitles and dialogue improvements Tvos 18. The catch is that many of these improvements were exclusive to Apple TV Streaming Box owners, but every device with an Apple TV+ app supports: streaming new Apple TV+ programs.
Apple’s streaming library has seen several fleeing hits since 2020, when the Breakout addition is IsolationSci-Fi job drama from Ben Stiller. Spy Slowly horses is also be praisedas well as Seth Rogen’s Hollywood depreciation Studiowho recently earned a ton of Emmy candidates. The new era of Prestige TV seems to be here when Apple leads to payment.
Apple iCloud+
Finally there is iCloud+. Do you think this would be the simplest to follow your Apple One service and you would be right. You get the same amount of storage as in 2020. But here’s one new wrinkle and it is Apple is inviting. During the day, I organized all my personal events via Facebook, but when I moved to other platforms, I switched to owned party design applications such as Partiool. Apple calls is Apple’s response to these, but strangely yes you have to order an iCloud+ application with it (though anyone can receive party). A little explosion, but hey, it’s added value for Apple One subscribers.
So Apple One is worth your monthly cost?
Once all Apple One improvements have been broken down after the release, I find it safe to say that the service is not resting on their bearings, but certain households are likely to get more benefit than others.
Personally, I do not see ordering it as an individual unless you only own Apple devices and arrange your whole life through its services. If you don’t move regularly with the Apple Fitness app, relax with Apple TV+or Apple Arcade and fasten the world with Apple News+, you probably pay more than you can use. And you will also get the heaviest price increase, I’m not sure that I have time to use all new improvements to justify it.
However, if you are in a household with a lot of Apple users, the service will be more sensible. Ordering an Apple One event, even if it is expensive, still saves $ 29 per month for each Apple service uniquely – and most importantly, it is compared to order costs one Person (except iCloud+ and Apple Music+, which compares the price with their own service sharing plans). Imagine the whole group of six using the Apple One apply, and it starts to feel more than reasonable, even with new pricing. In addition, there is a family plan that is perfect for households that do not need fitness+and news+, or quite a lot of storage information.
Still, I would like to see cheaper levels with the future of fitness+ and news+. If you are only one person and you love Apple, you probably don’t feel good to pay a bundle for a house full of people just to play Smiley gameAlthough bundling it with your other Apple orders still means that you save money in general.
