More than a year ago, Apple announced Apple One, a bundle of services that allows Apple customers to purchase services in one package instead of separately, saving money for those who use multiple Apple service products. But what are the services and are they right for you? We'll explore:

Bundle Options

There are three Apple One bundle options:

• Individual ($14.95 per month) - Includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and 50GB iCloud storage.
• Family ($19.95 per month) - Includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and 200GB iCloud storage, shared between six family members.
• Premier ($29.95 per month) - Includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, Fitness+, and 2TB iCloud storage, shared between up to six family members.

The Individual plan offers savings of $6 per month compared to purchasing the services individually. The Family plan offers savings of $8 per month. The Premier plan offers the greatest savings, saving customers $25 per month over a la carte pricing.

Apple's Available Services

Below is a list with short descriptions of what each Apple service actually is:

• Apple Music ($9.99 per month) - Apple's streaming music service. It works natively in the Music app on Apple devices and on the HomePod, and it offers access to 70 million songs.
• Apple TV+ ($4.99 per month) - Apple TV+ is a service similar to Netflix or Amazon Prime Video that offers Apple's catalog of original television shows and movies.
• Apple Arcade ($4.99 per month) - Apple Arcade offers access to more than a hundred games, with more added weekly.
• Apple News+ ($9.99 per month) - Apple News+ offers access to hundreds of different magazine titles that can be accessed through the Apple News app.
• Fitness+ ($9.99 per month) - Fitness+ offers guided workouts across multiple fitness categories. Workout videos are watched on iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV with workout data calculated in tandem using Apple Watch.
• iCloud Storage - Apple offers 5GB of iCloud storage free to all users for backups, storing photos, and more, but additional 50GB, 200GB, and 2TB paid plans cost $0.99, $2.99, and $9.99 per month, respectively.
