Apple has introduced a new subscription initiative that transforms paid iCloud+ plans into a comprehensive services package in more than 100 countries. This bundle, available in select regions, now includes Apple TV and Apple Arcade at no extra charge, with family sharing extending access to up to five individuals. The program excludes the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the UK, as well as other European markets, but it signifies a significant shift from Apple One to iCloud+ in smaller markets.
Existing standalone iCloud+ subscribers in participating countries will automatically gain access to Apple TV and Apple Arcade, while new customers cannot subscribe individually to these services. Existing Apple One subscribers can retain their plans. In addition to Apple TV and Arcade, iCloud+ users will also receive access to curated Apple Music stations, which are available as part of the Apple Music Select offering at a discounted rate.
This initiative represents a strategic move by Apple to streamline its service offerings and encourage customers to transition from standalone subscriptions to the iCloud+ bundle.
