Apple’s iCloud+ plan now includes Apple TV and Apple Arcade

Apple has expanded its iCloud+ bundle to include Apple TV and Apple Arcade in India without any extra charges. This enhanced plan, available through the end of September, offers users the ability to back up, store, and share personal content with their Apple devices while enjoying Apple's original content and a variety of games.

The expansion covers over 100 countries, including India, starting at Rs 75 per month for the 50GB plan, with additional storage options available. Family Sharing allows up to five family members to share the same subscription. Apple announced that Apple TV and Apple Arcade will no longer be sold separately in India, and existing standalone subscriptions will be merged into the iCloud+ plan.

Users will retain their game progress and saved games on Apple Arcade, and the existing Apple TV or Apple Arcade subscriptions will be cancelled. Additionally, iCloud+ subscribers in India will gain access to Apple Music Select, a collection of ad-free music stations. Apple Music subscriptions in India are priced at Rs 115 for the Individual Plan and Rs 145 for the Family Plan.

The expanded iCloud+ offering is subject to regional availability, and some features, Apple TV content, and Apple Arcade games may vary by country, region, or device. In India, Airtel subscribers on iPhones will be able to access the expanded iCloud+ subscription by subscribing to Airtel postpaid plans. Finally, Apple One subscriptions will no longer be available for new subscribers, with existing Apple One subscribers continuing to maintain their existing subscriptions.
