Is Apple One worth it for you?

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 ands witch 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.

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.

As my colleague Benjamin pointed out last week, Apple TV in particular continues to become a better and better value. The service is adding access to F1 and MLS matches at no additional cost next year. If you’ve been debating subscribing (perhaps for access to Pluribus), Apple One might make that added subscription easier to stomach.
