Apple News+ integrates directly into the News app and features magazines from National Geographic, Popular Science, New Yorker, Vogue, Rolling Stone, and more. Apple News+ also includes content from the Los Angeles Times and the Wall Street Journal. Readers can follow their favorite topics, favorite publications, and even subscribe to push notifications for breaking news alerts.

Recently, Apple announced that it willhalve its cut of In-App Purchases for publishers that also participate in Apple News.

The Apple News Partner Program means that if a publisher has a significant presence inside the Apple News app, including adopting Apple’s custom Apple News Format for generating articles, that publisher will get a discount on the commission on subscriptions taken out inside their native iPhone and iPad app.

This program represents a halving of the standard 30% commission for In-App Purchases and means that participating news apps will collect 85% of the revenue from in-app subscriptions from day one.

Here’s everything you need to know about Apple News+.

Apple Fitness+

 Apple calls Fitness+ the “next era of fitness” and for people of all skill levels. Fitness+ requires an Apple Watch and can be used with iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV with the latest software updates.

Since November of 2021, Fitness+ is available in 15 new countries. Here are all the new regions that received the service: Austria, Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Switzerland, and the UAE.

Here’s everything you need to know about Apple Fitness+.

iCloud+

iCloud launched in 2011 as the successor to MobileMe and it’s Apple’s current cloud service that allows iOS and Mac users to save and synchronize data. Apple includes 5GB of iCloud storage for free with all accounts and has paid options starting at $0.99/month for 50GB, going up to 2TB for $9.99.

During the WWDC21, Apple announced iCloud+, the service that includes three new features without charging more from its users. It’s available with iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS 12 Monterey.

  • Private Relay is the headlining new feature of iCloud+. Through Private Relay, all traffic leaving your device is encrypted and sent through two separate relays. Apple says that no one, not even Apple, can access or view this data. This feature sounds quite a bit like an Apple VPN. 
  • Hide My Email is a new feature built into Mail, Safari, and other services and it allows you to randomized, unique emails that forward to your main account. This means you can hide your email from services for increased privacy. 
  • iCloud+ also includes unlimitedHomeKit Secure Video cameras. Currently, iCloud users are limited to five cameras per account, but this limit has been removed for iCloud+.

With iOS 15, Apple also lets users customize their own domain with iCloud, as you canlearn more about it here.

Here’s everything you need to know about iCloud.

How do I sign up?

There are a few options to sign up for Apple One. If you’re using an iPhone with iOS 15, an iPad with iPadOS 15, or a Mac with macOS Monterey,just click here. It’s also possible to search for Apple One on your device or go to:

  • Settings > Account > Manage Subscriptions

Apple says that if it will save you money, the company will automatically recommend an Apple One plan when you sign up for individual Apple services, based on the services you already have.

Which device and operating system do I need for every service?

Site default logo image

Apple One services work across your Apple devices:

  • iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 14 or later;
  • iPad with iPadOS 14 or later;
  • Apple TV with tvOS 14 or later;
  • Mac with macOS Big Sur 11.1 or later.

Apple Fitness+ for instance requires an Apple Watch Series 3 or later. It’s possible to access Apple Music and Apple TV+ through Android devices or web apps.

Can I get more iCloud storage?

Yes, you can. It’s possible to have 4TB of iCloud storage with the Apple One plus a standalone iCloud subscription. As already explained, every Apple One plan comes with a different storage option for iCloud. If you need more, you can pay extra:

  • $0.99/month for 50GB;
  • $2.99/month for 200GB
  • $9.99/month for 2TB.

Apple One Premier expansion

Site default logo image

After announcing that 15 new regions would receive Apple Fitness+ support in November, Apple said it would bring Apple One Premier to 17 new countries. The priciest bundle plan offers 2TB of iCloud storage but, technically, what stopped Apple from commercializing this plan to more regions was the lack of Apple News+ support.

Currently, Apple One Premier is also available in Austria, Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Switzerland, and the UAE even without Apple News+.

With that, users can get Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple TV+, Apple Fitness+, and 2TB of iCloud in a single subscription and share with up to 6 family members.

Rumors

So far, there are rumors about Apple expanding the number of services available. A report byThe Economist believesApple could launch by the end of 2022 an audiobook subscription.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman also corroborates that the company could expand its Apple One bundle to make it more attractive to more users:

The next thing I believe Apple can do to grow services is to better integrate them. Right now, Apple One makes sense for consumers because of the discounts, but Apple’s individual offerings really don’t integrate with one another in the same way that an iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch all play nicely. 

Apple could address this by integrating Apple TV+ with iTunes Movies. For instance, the company could throw in a few free rentals a month with a TV+ subscription. That could solve the back catalog problem and make the monthly fee more valuable. Another idea possibility is requiring a TV+ subscription to access podcasts about TV+ shows in the Podcasts app.

What Apple’s subscription model tells us about its future

Avatar for Fernando SilvaFeb 5 2026 - 9:13 am PT

You might have noticed that over the last several years, more and more companies have shifted to a subscription model for their products and services, and Apple has slowly begun to follow suit. As Apple hardware continues to improve, customers are keeping their devices for longer. Meaning that Apple is earning less per customer on their hardware purchases. This has pushed Apple to add more products to its services. Today, Apple offers subscriptions like cloud storage, media, productivity tools, AppleCare, and now products like Creator Studio. This suggests the company is willing to expand subscriptions into areas that were traditionally one-time purchases, a trend that we need to keep a close eye on. The easiest way to see how far Apple has leaned into subscriptions is to simply lay out everything the company currently offers.

Apple One is a great subscription bundle, but it neglects one key audience

Poll: Did you ever notice any burn-in issues on your iPhone 14 Pro's display?

Apple introducedApple One in 2020, providing an easy way for avid Apple users to subscribe to multiple services at once, and get a nice bundle discount for doing so. It offers three tiers, and its remained that way since it launched. However, I think Apple would benefit greatly from offering a fourth tier, capturing a key demographic.
