The main defense I would bring is Apple One and their desire to push people to it. 20 a month for services that would cost close to 30 individually is a steal if you like games and apple music as well.
I don’t think anyone else besides Disney/Hulu/ESPN have a package deal like that.
Used to be a steal, don’t worry if you still believe it is a steal, they will eventually fuck that as well. I subscribe to one family plan mainly for iCloud for the family and only me using Apple Music and sometimes I do use fitness + them increasing prices makes me just want to cancel the whole thing.
Yeah for multiple people using Apple Music and iCloud storage and the occasional game or Apple TV show is a steal. Enough so that I just pay for my whole family to use it and use their hbo/hulu. Dressing the day Apple raises family Apple one prices too high or those other streaming services do the Netflix password crackdown.
My problem with Apple One for the longest time was that the only way to get the iCloud storage I needed along with the few services I wanted was to buy the entire bundle. I really don’t care about Fitness+ or News+, but I need that 2TB of storage.
It only finally made sense when I got on a family plan with my sister and brother-in-law.
Well my Apple one is going up $5 so not a deal for me anymore. I canceled and just pay for iCloud and music. I can sub and unsubscribe from tv as I need. Had to give up Apple News but not going to pay extra for it

I wish they had a lower tier family plan with Music, TV and iCloud. Fitness, News and Arcade are all kinda meh to me
I’m sure they will. Just not there yet for me, like Netflix has become already.
These guys really wont be afraid of piracy until it happens to them.

Then I’ll be shivering me timbers.

lol, 20 a month wouldn’t even cover the backups of just my phone, and I’ve got more than just me to think about. Premier is nearly $40/mo now.
