The real value option, though, is in the Premier plan, which costs $29.95 a month but works out to nearly $29 of savings.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, you get a free trial with Apple One, and here’s what it includes:

  1. Free trial for new subscriptions: Any Apple subscriptions included in Apple One that you don’t already have are free for the first month of your Apple One subscription.
  2. Existing subscriptions: If you’re currently paying for any subscriptions included in Apple One, you’ll continue to be charged for them separately until your Apple One free trial ends. Once the trial is over, and you switch to a paid Apple One plan, these separate charges will stop.
  3. Automatic renewal: After the free trial, your Apple One plan will automatically renew as a monthly subscription.

How does Apple One work?

  • Charged monthly
  • Cancel any time
  • 30-day free trial

Apple One works similarly to other bundle subscriptions like Amazon Prime and Google One. Users are charged once a month for the entire package they’re subscribed to and can access the apps/services on any device that supports them.

You’ll be able to change your subscription whenever you want if you ever decide to upgrade or downgrade to another tier. Users still get a 30-day free trial for services that they haven’t tried yet, as well.

One other thing to consider when deciding on which plan to use: the Family and Premier plans allow users to add up to five other people to their subscription. The Individual plan doesn’t allow any, although you could just share a single username.

Purchasing additional iCloud storage

You also have the option to buy extra iCloud storage in addition to what’s already provided in your Apple One plan. If your family requires more iCloud storage than what the Apple One plan offers, the family member who subscribed to Apple One can purchase additional iCloud storage. When combining both the Apple One and an iCloud+ plan, your family can share a total of up to 14TB of iCloud storage.
