Everything you need to know about Apple One, the all-in-one from Apple

During the Apple event that has been held on September 15 we have seen many new features, such as two new iPads, the new Watch Series 6 and Watch SE and much more. Undoubtedly there has been a gap for the news in terms of services, and Apple One is precisely what we are going to talk about today.

Apple One is Apple's new service that includes Music, Arcade, TV + and iCloud with a cheaper price. Discover with us what are the advantages and details of Apple One so that you know how much money you can save with the new service of the Cupertino company.

What is Apple One?

Let's start the house with the foundations. Currently in Spain the Cupertino company offers several online services that are: Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple TV + and iCloud.

Each one until now could only be purchased separately, And as you well know, it allows us to access a current and almost infinite musical catalog, the new Apple television service that includes original content (but which is still quite green), the Arcade subscription video game system with more than a hundred titles, many of them exclusive, and the well-known Apple cloud, iCloud.

Apple One is what is known as a "bundle", a set of services or digital content united in a single purchase or under a single subscription. In general, bundling services in packages is usually cheaper for the user almost always, as is the case, for example, with the offers of teleoperators and television.

Well, specifically in Spain we have Apple One with the following services: Apple Music, Apple TV +, Apple Arcade and iCloud. Of course, we have several access plans and each of them offers us different content, we are going to know the Apple One catalog.

Pricing and Features

Apple One - Individual

We start first with the most classic option, the one designed for a single user. This option will cost 14,95 euros per month, which means a saving of 6 euros per month or 72 euros per year. Once we know the price, we will go on to detail what it includes:

• Apple Music
• Apple TV +
• Apple Arcade
• iCloud> 50 GB storage

The peculiarity of this service is that it can only be enjoyed by one user, that is, devices that are linked to the payer's user account. You can never have two simultaneous Apple Music reproductions, for example.

Apple One - Family

The second option available in Spain is the "Family" package, which for 19,95 euros per month will mean a saving of 8 euros per month, or up to 96 euros per year if you prefer. Here's everything in the Apple One - Family in Detail bundle:

• Apple Music
• Apple TV +
• Apple Arcade
• iCloud> 200 GB storage

The most remarkable point of this service is that you will be able to add it to your "En Familia" package, which it will allow up to five simultaneous users in all the services that are offered. Without a doubt, the one that seems the most interesting option of all.

Apple One services in detail

Apple Music

The well-known rival of Spotify, in fact, it has positioned itself as the second provider of streaming music with the most paying users, and probably the most profitable. It is compatible with both Android and Windows, in addition to obviously Apple products.

It has more than 70 million songs, allows you to download the music to listen to it offline, It has live stations in the purest radio style. Obviously it is specially designed to look much more on iOS and macOS, being almost the only alternative for the Apple Watch.

Apple Arcade

Apple's subscription gaming system lacks ads and integrated payments, you will only focus on playing, and that is especially attractive for the smallest of the house. It is compatible with Apple TV, iPadOS, macOS and iOS of course.

Your games will always be saved on all your devices and the games are fully accessible without an internet connection. Features "gems" like Sonic Racing or LEGO Brawls. Despite this, it has not been as successful as Apple thought and has become a particularly niche product.

Apple TV +

The most recent of Apple's services is TV +, features original content created and produced exclusively for Apple as Tom Hank's Greyhound. Meanwhile, the service still needs much more content, in what is comparable to Dinsey +, consuming what it offers is too fast.

For its part, as in the rest of the cases, it is fully compatible with macOS, iPadOS, iOS and tvOS, and we also find that many Samsung and LG televisions (among other brands) are fully compatible with the service directly from their own Operating System, something to take into account, since we are talking precisely about an audiovisual service.

Is it worth hiring Apple One?

If we look at the rivals we find that the Spotify family plan costs 14,99 euros, the same as the Apple One individual plan. It is clear that we are going to focus on the family one because it seems the most "economical" in general terms , and is that For 5 euros more than the familiar Spotify we will get: 200 GB of iCloud storage for the whole family, 5 simultaneous Apple Music players, Apple Arcade to enjoy games without ads or pay-to-win and above Apple TV + in case a subscription catches our attention.

From my point of view, if you have a family subscription to any similar service such as Spotify, the service is worth it. The thing changes when we talk about the individual subscription, since if for example we only use Spotify or Apple Music Single, we would go at double the price, for which we would have to consider if it is really worth it or not. What is clear is that Apple One is a twist for the industry and we will probably soon see "attacks" from other companies that will try to offer their packages at competitive prices.

Availability

Apple One will be available next Fall, directly on the official website of Apple.
