What is Apple One?
Apple One is a subscription service that combines various other Apple subscription services into one easy-to-understand package. If you use iCloud, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, or others, you can save monthly by subscribing to them all with Apple One rather than independently.
Apple One has the following:
- Apple Arcade
- Apple News
- iCloud
- Apple Music
- Apple Fitness
- Apple TV

How much is Apple One?
There are multiple subscription options for Apple One. Depending on your needs and budget, you should pick the one that suits you best from the different packages below.
- Individual – $19.95 (£18.95) per month

These prices are slightly higher than they were at the start of 2024, following an increase from Apple. However, as the brand has also increased the price of individual subscriptions, it's still better value than paying for services like Apple Music and Apple TV individually.
Is Apple One worth it?
If you're trying to figure out whether Apple One is worth it or not for you, first think about how many Apple services you currently use. If it's more than three – for example, Apple TV, Apple Arcade, and Apple Music – then it's worth going for Apple One, as it evens out to a cheaper price on a monthly basis. However, if you only use one or two of those apps, you're better off continuing to pay for them separately.
Can I get a free trial of Apple One?
Yes, you can get a free trial of Apple One. Just head over to the official Apple One website and hit the option for the free trial. There is a caveat in that you're not eligible for the freebie if you've used it before, but if you're a new user, that isn't an issue. The trial lasts for a month, so you can try out Apple Arcade and Apple Music before deciding whether you think it's worth continuing with the subscription.
