Is Apple One worth it for the content offered?

For me, the individual plan costs ¥1200 ($7.45 / 6,50€) per month (regardless though, they all offer the same thing worldwide such as 50GB iCloud storage, access to Apple TV, Music and Arcade) with the difference involving regional pricing for the same subscription.

Is paying $/€19.95 per month for Apple One worth the money when you factor CoL and minimum wage? Also, does Apple TV really have any good shows to watch? There are higher subscription tiers for Apple One (family or premier) but I won’t be discussing those.

Typically this site is anti subscription and big tech. Idont know what is included in one but I enjoy AppleTV, Apple music sucks but if you are getting it included you might find value in it. Cloud and other bits probably help.close a gap. We dont get fitness, I thought I would when my partner got one but it isnt included.

That said it will go up

Only if you’re super into the Apple ecosystem and make regular use of their services.

More people are going to be paying for Music and maybe TV; not as many will be paying for Fitness, News, etc. It’s not going to be worth it unless you’re already subbed to more than just Music, and even then probably not.

I feel like I get great value out of it. I use Music, News (mostly crosswords), iCloud storage + custom email domain, and to a lesser extent Apple TV+ and Fitness, but I love having them available.

Consisting you’re not on the Privacy page, or Piracy page, or even Self-Hosted or FOSS… I guess that depends on how well the service works combined with the cost and quality vs comparable services.

Personally, Apple is too closed an ecosystem, too expensive, not private enough, and too far behind in features offerings. I’ll likely never own an Apple product. I like the Free and Open Source Softwares, they offer solid features, customizations, privacy and control over your data.

I am a huge fan of the Apple TV shows.

“Pluribus” and “Widow’s Bay” are two of the best shows I’ve ever seen. “Slow Horses” is another great one.

You can always get it for a month and record what you want.

It becomes very worth it if you have a family. Everyone gets access to all services. People won’t use everything, but every one will use something. Your wife and daughter might use Fitness and Music, while your son uses Arcade and Apple TV+. You might use News and a mix of others. Everyone uses iCloud back up and private relay.

There are several good shows on Apple TV but not as many as any of the other streaming services. Apple music is good but icloud isnt really an amazing value compared to other cloud storage services.

Unless you specifically want all the stuff it comes with, I dont know that the bundle is that complelling of a value.
