现在有如此多的Apple订阅服务可供选择，以至于它可以让你的钱包大吃一惊。Apple One有望成为解决方案，但值得吗？
Apple为其Apple One订阅包提供了多个定价等级，但很难找出最佳价值。在我们讨论各个服务组件之前，我们将处理价格问题。
苹果一号定价
潜在的Apple One(Apple One)订阅者
有三种月费选项：
- Apple One 个人版，每月 14.95 美元。
- Apple One Family 每月 19.95 美元。
- Apple One Premier，每月 29.95 美元。
个人(Individual)计划就像它听起来的那样：一个Apple One(Apple one)订阅一个Apple ID。家庭(Family)层提供相同的服务，但有五个家庭成员可以访问。您还可以获得四倍的云存储空间，但如果使用了所有五个插槽，则每人的存储空间比个人(Individual)选项少。
Premier计划增加了两项额外的服务，称为Apple News+和Apple Fitness+。它还将共享存储增加十倍，提供 2TB 的iCloud。如果使用所有五个插槽，则每人 400GB。
Premier层级提供最佳价值和最显着的节省，但前提是您发现额外存储空间和服务的价值。让我们简要地看一下每项服务，这样您就知道您的钱得到了什么。
Apple Music （个人(Individual)9.99美元/月， Apple Music 家庭共享(Apple Music Family Sharing)14.99 美元/月）
Apple Music与(Apple Music)Spotify、YouTube Music和Tidal等服务直接竞争。据Apple称，该服务上有超过 7500 万首歌曲，并且目录还在不断增加。事实上，几乎所有著名的艺术家都在场并占了上风。
根据我们的经验，即使您可以在YouTube音乐上找到一些更不知名的艺术家，Apple Music也不会出现。(Apple Music)但是，绝大多数Apple Music用户对选择没有任何抱怨。
Apple Music是行业领先的音乐流媒体服务。我们特别喜欢手工整理的列表，它可以帮助您掌握您以前从未听过的艺术家的唱片。
此服务本身有四个定价层。除了上面提到的两个，还有学生（4.99 美元/月）选项和语音(Voice)（4.99 美元/月）。这些是特殊定价计划，因此我们没有将其考虑在内，因为并非每个人都符合学生计划的条件，而且语音计划仅限于Siri，不能提供完整的体验。
(IOS)在优化硬件、对游戏手柄等外围设备的支持以及在移动游戏方面的优质游戏体验方面，IOS通常远远领先于Android 。但是，您仍然会在 iOS 游戏中遇到与在Android上相同的免费游戏和微交易问题。
Apple Arcade有点像Xbox上的Game Pass，充当游戏的“Netflix”。只要您是订阅者，您就可以完全访问不断增长的精选游戏集合。
Apple Arcade游戏保证是不包含微交易的高级游戏。如果您支付订阅费，您就可以完全访问所有内容。默认情况下还包括家庭共享，因此每月只需 5 美元，您的整个家庭组就可以在 iPhone、 (Sharing)Mac(Macs)、iPad 和Apple TV(Apple TVs)上玩游戏。
Apple TV+是Apple对(Apple)Netflix和Amazon Prime Video的回应。它提供由Apple制作的首屈一指的原创节目，包括多种类型的系列和电影。
节目的选择比竞争服务提供的图书馆要少得多，但这里有真正的瑰宝，例如Ted Lasso、Foundation和 The Morning Show。
虽然有很多值得观看的内容，并且正在添加更多内容，但我们认为Apple TV+本身不值得永久订阅。订阅一个月，赶上所有最好的节目然后再次取消更有意义。
所有Apple帐户都可获得 5GB 的免费云存储空间，可用于存储照片和用户数据备份。如果您想要超过此数量的空间，则需要为此付费。
苹果(Apple)有一个相当奇怪的定价结构，但一个用户每月可以花 1 美元获得 50GB 的空间。然后是 200GB 2.99 美元和 2TB iCloud 存储 9.99 美元。200GB 和 2TB 选项包括家庭共享。
Apple的 iCloud 服务对拥有一台或多台Apple设备的任何人都非常有用，尽管我们希望为专业用户提供更多的中间层和更大的层。但是，我们不能对它与生态系统的出色集成提出异议，并建议所有Apple设备所有者投资一些 iCloud 存储。
Apple News+（仅限 Apple One Premier(Apple One Premier Only)，9.99 美元/月家庭共享(Family Sharing)）
如果您厌倦了在互联网上查找新闻时遇到付费墙，Apple News+可能是一个不错的选择。它通过Apple News应用程序运行。作为订阅费的一部分，您可以访问多个付费新闻媒体和杂志。
这听起来不错，但如果您不住在美国、加拿大(Canada)、澳大利亚(Australia)或英国，您将无法使用该服务。从好的方面来说，家庭共享(Family Sharing)包含在统一费率中。这意味着您的家庭组中最多有六个人可以通过该应用访问优质新闻。
提供超过 200 种杂志，过刊可以追溯到几年前。但是，据我们所知，您不会找到任何杂志的完整版。这些杂志涵盖了不同的主题领域，所以每个人都一定能找到自己喜欢的东西。
您可以在报纸方面访问《华尔街日报》(Wall Street Journal)、《洛杉矶时报》(LA Times)和《多伦多星报》。(Toronto Star)考虑到杂志和报纸订阅的价格，Apple News+相当划算。尤其是与Zinio 之(Zinio)类的应用程序相比，您可能只需为一个问题支付同样多的费用。
Apple Fitness+（仅限 Apple One Premier，9.99 美元/月）
Apple Watch系列对Apple来说取得了巨大的成功，吸引了科技书呆子和健身狂热者。在将自己确立为智能手表市场的主要参与者之后，Apple宣布了Fitness+服务。
这项面向Apple Watch拥有者的服务让您可以参加由合格教练指导的家庭锻炼。我们的想法是将其与Apple Watch的健身追踪与教学视频相结合，以确保您达到健身目标。
尽管您必须拥有Apple Watch才能设置Apple Fitness+，但一旦完成，您就可以在 iPhone 或 iPad 上不使用手表进行锻炼。当然，如果您没有佩戴Apple Watch，您将不会在屏幕上看到任何实时指标。您还可以使用AirPlay将锻炼放在电视上，但指标目前也不会出现在那里。
苹果什么时候值得买？
如果您已经使用了Apple One单个层级中包含的所有四项服务，那么为相同的服务少付 6 美元是有意义的。主要问题是这一层仅提供 50GB 的 iCloud 存储空间。因此，如果您需要更多（我们认为 200GB 的 iCloud 存储是最佳选择），您最好单独支付。
家庭计划为可以共享 200GB iCloud 分配的两个人提供了最佳价值，但如果你是两个人以上，存储量相当狭窄，并且不包括News+或Fitness+。
我们的建议：
- (Get Apple One Individual)如果您对仅 50GB 的云存储感到满意且独自生活，对Fitness+或News+Apple One Personal 。
- (Get Apple One Family)如果您最多四个人并且不关心News+或Fitness+请购买 Apple One Family。
- 其他人都应该获得总理(Premier)级。
即使您不使用所有服务，每一层都有很多价值。但请务必将您使用的服务与您不使用的服务的单个订阅成本相加，以确保您省钱。
What Is Apple One, and Should You Subscribe?
There are now so many Apple subscription services to choose from that it can put a dent in your wаllet. Apple One promises to be the solution, but is it worth it?
Apple offers several pricing tiers for its Apple One subscription bundle, but it can be hard to figure out the best value. Before we get into the individual service components, we’ll deal with the matter of price.
Apple One Pricing
There are three monthly fee options for prospective Apple One subscribers:
- Apple One Individual at $14.95/mo.
- Apple One Family at $19.95/mo.
- Apple One Premier at $29.95/mo.
The Individual plan is just what it sounds like: an Apple one subscription for a single Apple ID. The Family tier offers the same services, but five family members have access. You also get four times the cloud storage, but if all five slots are used, that’s less storage per person than the Individual option.
The Premier plan adds two additional services known as Apple News+ and Apple Fitness+. It also increases the shared storage tenfold, offering 2TB of iCloud. That’s 400GB per person if all five slots are used.
The Premier tier offers the best value and the most significant savings, but only if you find value in the additional storage space and services. Let’s look at each service briefly so you know what you’re getting for your money.
Apple Music ($9.99/mo Individual, $14.99/mo Apple Music Family Sharing)
Apple Music is in direct competition with services such as Spotify, YouTube Music, and Tidal. According to Apple, over 75 million songs are on the service, with a growing catalog. Indeed, almost all notable artists are present and accounted for.
In our experience, some more obscure artists aren’t on Apple Music even when you’ll find them on YouTube music. However, the vast majority of Apple Music users don’t have any complaints about the selection.
Apple Music is an industry-leading music streaming service. We particularly like the hand-curated list that helps you get to grips with the discography of artists you’ve never heard before.
There are four pricing tiers for this service on its own. Apart from the two mentioned above, there is the Student ($4.99/mo) options and Voice ($4.99/mo). These are special pricing plans, so we aren’t taking them into account since not everyone qualifies for the student plan, and the voice plan is limited to Siri and doesn’t offer the entire experience.
Apple Arcade ($4.99/mo, Family Sharing)
IOS has typically been far ahead of Android when it comes to optimized hardware, support for peripherals like gamepads, and premium game experiences when it comes to mobile gaming. However, you still get the same free-to-play and microtransaction-ridden issues with iOS games as you do on Android.
Apple Arcade is a little like Game Pass on Xbox, acting as a “Netflix” for games. As long as you are a subscriber, you get full access to a curated collection of games that are constantly growing.
Apple Arcade games are guaranteed to be premium games that contain no microtransactions. If you pay your subscription fee, you have full access to everything. Family Sharing is also included by default, so for about $5 a month, your entire family group can play on iPhones, Macs, iPads, and Apple TVs.
Apple TV+ ($4.99/mo Family Sharing)
Apple TV+ is Apple’s answer to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. It offers premier original shows produced by Apple and includes series and films across multiple genres.
The selection of shows is much smaller than the libraries offered by competing services, but there are real gems here, such as Ted Lasso, Foundation, and The Morning Show.
While there’s plenty of worthwhile content to watch and more are being added, we don’t think that Apple TV+ deserves a permanent subscription by itself. It makes more sense to subscribe for a month, catch up on all the best shows and then cancel again.
All Apple accounts get 5GB of free cloud storage that can be used to store photos and user data backups. If you want more than this amount of space, you’ll need to pay for it.
Apple has a rather curious pricing structure, but a single user can get 50GB of space for a dollar a month. Then it’s $2.99 for 200GB and $9.99 for 2TB of iCloud storage. The 200GB and 2TB options include family sharing.
Apple’s iCloud service is truly useful for anyone with one or more Apple devices, although we wish there were more intermediate tiers and larger tiers for professional users. However, we can’t argue with its fantastic integration into the ecosystem and recommend that all Apple gadget owners invest in some iCloud storage.
Apple News+ (Apple One Premier Only, $9.99/mo Family Sharing)
If you’re sick of running into paywalls when looking for news on the internet, Apple News+ might be a good fit. It works through the Apple News app. As part of your subscription fee, you’ll get access to several premium paid news outlets and magazines.
This sounds great, but if you don’t live in the US, Canada, Australia, or the UK, you won’t have access to the service. On the upside, Family Sharing is included in the flat rate. This means up to six people in your family group can access premium news through the app.
There are over 200 magazines on offer, with back issues stretching back a few years. However, you won’t find the entire run of any magazine on offer as far as we can tell. These magazines span various topic areas, so everyone is sure to find something they like.
You’ll get access to The Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, and the Toronto Star on the newspaper side of things. Considering the price of magazine and newspaper subscriptions, Apple News+ is quite the bargain. Especially compared to apps like Zinio, you might pay as much for just a single issue.
Apple Fitness+ (Apple One Premier Only, $9.99/mo)
The Apple Watch series has been a smashing success for Apple, appealing to tech nerds and fitness fanatics. After establishing itself as a major player in the smartwatch market, Apple announced the Fitness+ service.
This service for Apple Watch owners gives you access to home workouts led by qualified instructors. The idea is to combine this with the fitness tracking of your Apple Watch with instructional videos to make sure you’re hitting your fitness targets.
Although you must have an Apple Watch to set up Apple Fitness+, once that’s done, you can follow workouts on your iPhone or iPad without the watch. Of course, if you aren’t wearing your Apple Watch, you won’t see any of the live metrics on-screen. You also can use AirPlay to put the workout on your TV, but the metrics don’t currently appear there either.
When Is Apple One Worth It?
If you already use all four of the services included in the individual tier of Apple One, it makes sense to pay $6 less for the same service. The main issue is that this tier only offers 50GB of iCloud storage. So if you need more than that (and we think 200GB of iCloud storage is the sweet spot), you’re better off paying separately.
The family plan offers the best value for two people who can share the 200GB iCloud allocation, but if you’re more than two people, the amount of storage is rather cramped, and it doesn’t include News+ or Fitness+.
Our recommendations:
- Get Apple One Individual if you are happy with just 50GB of cloud storage and live alone, with no interest in Fitness+ or News+.
- Get Apple One Family if you are at most four people and don’t care about News+ or Fitness+.
- Everyone else should get the Premier tier.
There is plenty of value in every tier, even if you don’t use all the services. But be sure to tally up the costs of the individual subscriptions for services you do use versus the ones you don’t to make sure you’re saving money.
