What Is Apple One

Apple One is an all-in-one subscription service available for Apple users, including iPhone and iPod touch with iOS 14 or later, iPad with iPadOS 14 or later, Apple TV with tvOS 14 or later, and Mac with macOS Big Sur 11.1 or later. You don't need to own all of those devices to enjoy an Apple One subscription, with users able to pick and choose how they use the services. The idea behind Apple One is that it consolidates all your favorite Apple-based subscriptions into one plan, making it cheaper for you and more convenient to manage. Both individual and family plans are available depending on your needs. Apple One is a rival to various other services such as Spotify, Peloton, Netflix, and DropBox. The convenience here is that you subscribe to one plan rather than need to manage multiple different accounts.

When was Apple One Released

Announced at Apple's September 2020 event, the Apple One release date was October 30—just after the iPhone 12 release. To sign up, go to the Apple One website and click Try Apple One free. New subscribers can enjoy a one-month free trial to Apple One.
