One of the novelties that Apple unveiled at the presentation event of the new iPad Air and the Apple Watch Series 6 was Apple One. As rumors said, it is a package of services that with a single payment, lower than the sum of the payment of all these services separately, allows an account and all other accounts associated as a family to enjoy several of Apple’s online services in a cheaper way.
This is good news for all those who have contracted, in addition to Apple Music, another service such as more iCloud storage for backups and photos, videos etc. or pay their subscription to Apple Arcade, for example. Apple now offers Apple Music, Apple TV + , Apple Arcade, and 50GB of iCloud storage for € 14.95 per month. It’s a good deal if you already paid for one of those services in advance. This € 14.95 package is the basic one, which Apple calls Individual. Above that step, they offer a more complete one with the same services but 200 GB of iCloud storage, frankly necessary if you use the same space with several family accounts. Those additional 150 GB cost you 5 Eurodollars more, leaving the price at € 19.95 per month. This step of Apple One has been called Familiar . In Spain, there are no more steps of Apple One.
However, in the US they offer one more price step or section, the Premier , in which they offer News + and Fitness +, the latter presented at this same event and in which Apple offers personalized fitness advice and content from a team of specialists in different sports disciplines and in coaching, that is, advising and encouraging the user to follow some exercise guidelines that improve their health and therefore their quality of life. It costs $ 29.95 per month and includes up to 2TB of iCloud online storage, which can be shared with your family.
Obviously, the problem for Apple is that News + is only available in a few Anglo-Saxon countries and there do not seem to be any plans to try to launch it in more countries. By not having this service as an element that justifies a higher payment for more services, Apple has chosen to directly eliminate this price range of 20 eurodollars per month. Most likely, until there is Apple News + in Spanish-speaking countries, we will not be able to have an Apple One offer with more services. Fitness + also seems to be a service aimed at the North American market, without news from other countries or languages, at least for now.
Apple One will be available at some point in what Apple calls Autumn , we imagine that in the Northern hemisphere of our planet, although they do not specify it, as if the other half of the world did not exist.
