The news: Apple is planning to release multiple variants of a subscription services bundle in October of this year, according to Mark Gurman (86.6% accurate).
- There will reportedly be multiple tiers, consisting of the following makeup:
- Music/TV+
- Music/TV+/Arcade
- Music/TV+/Arcade/News+
- Music/TV+/Arcade/News+/iCloud storage
- ‘Apple One’ is likely coming in an update to iOS 14 later in 2020
- The bundled savings will be “$2 to upwards of $5 a month”
Our take: I’m surprised it has taken Apple this long to get a proper bundle in the works. That being said, I don’t think I’ll be subscribing unless there’s an Apple Music and iCloud storage bundle. None of the other services are that compelling to me right now.
