You can actually do this. If you get Apple One, you can then remove some services for a discount on it via iOS settings. Not sure why apple doesn't advertise this or allow you to do it without getting Apple One first.
@@hellohugs YMMV with this. I pay for Premier, but I really only use the iCloud storage, AppleTV+ and Apple Music. If I remove all of the services except those three my price per month goes from $37.95/mo for regular premier to $36.97/mo. The savings in my case is so marginal that I'd be stupid not to get all of the other services included for $1/mo.
It's worth it even just for Apple Music and iCloud. Arcade and TV is a bonus. Fitness is not available on my side of the planet... and the whole family plan just costs over $10 (converted after the price increase).
I use more Apple Music, Apple TV plus iCloud I believe is a must for us as a family. The least one is fitness for me. Kind of lazy guy. Great content, keep going
Definitely makes a lot of sense when sharing amongst a family. I went with the premier plan as well, mostly because I do definitely use the music, iCloud, and news (as depressing as the news can be I do appreciate being able to stay so readily informed with multiple news sources with just one single subscription rather than trying to manage 2-3 newspaper & magazine subscriptions). I do occasionally make use of Apple Arcade, and definitely at least try to keep using Apple Fitness+ (I admittedly struggle with committing to fitness with no equipment and no real dedicated space to exercise). The only one not well used at least by me is Apple TV+, but that’s because most of what I really love to watch ends up being on other platforms - love my animated shows, love me some stand-up, love love LOVE nature docs. It is getting a little more use during the summer because my father in law and I will watch Friday night baseball together.
@@BillMcLean For certain. I just wish Apple would consider other options, such as a slightly better price for a full 1-year subscription period. Would also love to have been able to choose the amount of storage, as due to a glitch we nearly ran through our 2TB. I'd have considered a small increase to go up to the 12TB for the family, especially since 3 of the 4 users can record video in 4K 60P, and 2 of us regularly do. It's good, but there's always room for improvement
I got the Premier plan and added four family members to split the cost since they already paid for Apple Music and iCloud. It's more affordable if I can get a 5th member.
I only need the 2tb icloud storage and music. The apple TV content is a plus but I wouldn't miss it. That being said the price of just music and icloud is almost the cost of premiere. I don't need all the extras and they're near completely useless to me
I paid the the year apple fitness plus and Apple TV plus, not much of a music person, I don't like Apple Arcade and Apple News is a joke, I'm still on the 50 g I cloud plus.
Wish Apple had an à la carte option where you can select like 3-4 services you really want for a fixed flat price.

Interesting 🤔
@@hellohugsty i just took off fitness and news and TV. Saves only a couple $ but I guess everything helps

Wait really? I definitely don’t see this option. Like let’s say I ONLY want Apple Music and Fitness. Would that actually be cheaper with “Apple One”?

Well that’s a pretty good deal, price adjusted!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed! iCloud is a must have for sure!
I love apple one, and I find Apple fitness a bonus considering it saves me a ton compared to a gym membership
Same! Apple Fitness is a great price all on its own too.

Definitely sounds like you are getting your moneys worth!

I have the premium. Mainly use the music, icloud and arcade but my wife reads magazines too. I need to make use of the fitness though.
Fitness has been great, I’m a big fan of arcade as well!

I’ve been thinking about getting this subscription after weighing all the benefits seems like it makes sense.YES CENTS.
Missed opportunity for a joke in the title! 😂
Your rationale is much the same as mine. Although it’s fair to say I am a huge fan of some of the science-fiction series on Apple TV.
I need to catch up on Apple TV content. It is all very well produced!
Commenting for the algorithm Bill.
I appreciate it!
