Apple One Still a value?

[kagharaht]

Just got the email for price increase. $5 a month more. $32 to now $37. I’m having thoughts of cancelling. Just keeping storage and Music. I don’t use other services from rivals so do you all thinks it’s still a good value?

Nothing Apple does these days could remotely be considered a "good value". Their focus is on the shareholders, and the customer be damned... price increases that could simply be called what they are - pure greed. I don't expect Apple to give stuff away, but neither do I expect them to continually gouge their customers... ATV went from $4.99 > $6.99 > $9.99 in just over a year... and we're seeing similar gouging across the Apple Services segment.

I got Apple One with my new Verizon plan and since I was already subscribed to iCloud +50 gig, I think I’m saving about $12 a month.

I wouldn't call it a value, but I constantly use Music and 2TB of cloud for my family, and use Apple Fitness+ on occasion. So the bundle adds TV+, Arcade, and News essentially free.

Not that I'm happy with the price hikes, but with Netflix and Disney+ jacking up their prices, and YouTube TV already north of $70/month, is any of this stuff actually a value?

I decided to embrace it all since my family are using these services. Paying for each one would be too much money. Apple One Family really is good when its family shared. I still haven't downloaded all my purchased and CD music that was uploaded to the cloud locally. I used to think I MUST do that incase of outage. It's so rare these days that streaming it all, even my purchased and CD I ripped are all on the cloud.
