Soon, we\u2019ll be paying $4.99 a month for AppleTV+ which we\u2019ve enjoyed a lot. Neither of us has a use for Arcade, News or Fitness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So when Apple One comes out, we\u2019ll be paying Apple $9.99+$14.99+$4.99 for a total of $29.97.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the bundle breakdown from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niemanlab.org\/2020\/09\/apple-news-gets-a-bundle-boost-but-only-for-the-biggest-spenders\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nieman Lab<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Apple One Individual: $14.95\/month<\/em><br \/><em>Apple Music (normally $9.99)<\/em><br \/><em>Apple TV+ ($4.99)<\/em><br \/><em>Apple Arcade ($4.99)<\/em><br \/><em>50GB of iCloud storage ($0.99)<\/em><br \/><em>Total without bundling: $20.96<\/em><br \/><em>Bundle savings: $6.01<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Apple One Family: $19.95\/month<\/em><br \/><em>Apple Music ($14.99)<\/em><br \/><em>Apple TV+ ($4.99)<\/em><br \/><em>Apple Arcade ($4.99)<\/em><br \/><em>200GB of iCloud storage ($2.99)<\/em><br \/><em>\u2026all for up to five people<\/em><br \/><em>Total without bundling: $27.96<\/em><br \/><em>Bundle savings: $8.01<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Apple One Premier: $29.95\/month<\/em><br \/><em>Apple Music ($14.99)<\/em><br \/><em>Apple TV+ ($4.99)<\/em><br \/><em>Apple Arcade ($4.99)<\/em><br \/><em>Apple Fitness+ ($9.99)<\/em><br \/><em>Apple News+ ($9.99)<\/em><br \/><em>2TB of iCloud storage ($9.99)<\/em><br \/><em>\u2026all for up to five people<\/em><br \/><em>Total without bundling: $54.94<\/em><br \/><em>Bundle savings: $24.99<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Apple One Premier is $29.95 a month, a savings of 2 cents over what I pay currently and would include Arcade, Fitness and News, services I don\u2019t currently want or need. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/apple-one\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple\u2019s FAQ on their Apple One page<\/a> has this tidbit:<\/p>\n<p>What if I need more iCloud storage?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>What if I need more iCloud storage?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You can purchase additional iCloud storage separately to supplement what\u2019s included with your Apple One plan.

I\u2019d be more interested in subscribing to Apple One Family and upgrading from 200GB to the 2 Terabyte plan so long as it ends up being less than the $29.97 I pay now. If it\u2019s $24.99, that\u2019s $60 less per year than I\u2019m paying today. Not a huge savings but it\u2019s something. If we eventually are interested in News, Arcade or Fitness, then the $29.95 plan becomes a no-brainer.<\/p>\n<p>Based on today\u2019s iCloud storage pricing, if Apple wants $9.999 in addition to $19.95 for 2 terabytes of storage, then our family will graduate to premiere and enjoy Arcade, Fitness and News which we don\u2019t need but I\u2019ll consider them \u2018free\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll have to see what the iCloud pricing ends up being for Apple One Family subscribers in the fall.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our household of two people (double income, no kids) who each have a Macintosh we use full time&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2020-09-15T19:03:11Z","apple_news_api_id":"cecc7de5-dc55-4c3a-9e06-5dc45a75d286","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2020-09-15T19:07:59Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/Azsx95dxVTDqeBl3EWnXShg","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-8345","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-technology","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-2aB","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":8393,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2020\/11\/02\/technology-apple-one-cost-meets-convenience\/","url_meta":{"origin":8345,"position":0},"title":"Technology: Apple One.
