Yesterday, Apple announced price increases for Apple Music as well as two of its Apple One bundles.
Apple offers a broad range of services nowadays, ranging from Apple TV to Apple Music, Apple Fitness+, and more. Apple One lets you bundle those together at lower prices.
Is Apple One worth it? Here’s what you need to know.
As quick refresher, here are the services offered by Apple today:

This question depends largely on which Apple services you find useful. But there are also mathematical equations to take into consideration.
For example, if you’re already paying for Apple TV and Apple Music, you should absolutely make the jump and switch to Apple One Individual. Not only will you save on your Apple Music and Apple TV subscriptions, you’ll also unlock access to more iCloud storage and features, plus Apple Arcade.
Furthermore, Apple recently raised Apple Music prices. Interestingly, while the top two Apple One plans recently got more expensive to accommodate that increase, the Apple One Individual plan did not. This makes it an even better value than it was before.
I encourage you to look at the bundle options and individual service prices above and run the numbers for yourself and your family. I’d wager that a lot of people reading this story can save some money by switching to one of the Apple One plans. Or, maybe you’ve been on the fence about subscribing to a new service and the Apple One discount will make that decision easier.
Apple TV in particular continues to become a better and better value. The service has added access to F1 and MLS matches at no additional cost this year. If you’ve been debating subscribing to Apple TV, Apple One might make that added subscription easier to stomach.
Are you an Apple One subscriber? If so, which services do you find yourself using? Let us know down in the comments.
