Finally, Apple
Hello and Welcome to another exciting event from Apple, we will announce some stuff, mostly just updates of things you already know and love, next up we will announce some new things… Hang on… This time you may want to pay attention!
Who loves music? Most people, how many people are likely paying 9.99 in their respective people paper (currency) for the wonderful Apple Music service that Apple provides, millions more than likely.
Who loves games? A whole bunch of people that’s an extra 4.99 for Apple’s Arcade service, ohhh starting to add up now that’s Apple grabbing at those fancy bits of paper with people's faces on them.
Television and Movies? That’s another market that they have encapsulated with award-winning TV shows and movies, created by Apple for Apple TV. However once again that’s 4.99 bringing you to a total of 19.97.
Now, this is wonderful, you can pay £20 (I’m from the UK, so that’s what the £ is there for. Anyway you can pay 20 people papers, or rounded metal coins for Essentially a full media package, seems like a pretty good deal, especially when you compare it to having cable TV, a music subscription service, A TV/Movies Streaming service.
All of Apple’s options offer a free trial as well so you can test them out and if you find out that you don’t really use it then you don’t have to pay for it! Simple as that.
Now what I am about to tell you will not be useful if you tested out two or more of these packages and found yourself not using it as you won’t really be saving any money. However, if you tried and loved Apple Music, TV and Arcade well do I have news for you.
You can get a blanket subscription for all three of those services that you are already using and spending money on for a lovely figure of 15.95. You also get Apple News + bundled in there if you ever find yourself reading the news.
On top of all of the above, you also gain iCloud storage which as I’m sure you are aware can be incredibly useful.
Apple are quite obviously gunning for full control of the media consumption market and for such a price they are heading in the right direction. The only major competition they have are things such as Netflix with their amazing original series that everyone seems to love.
You can also pay a premium rate (only available in some countries) to unlock Apple Fitness (their new fitness plan). Even better than the individual 15.95 a month plan is that for only £5 more you get a family membership and can share the subscription with 5 members of your family.
Providing you and your family with all of your TV, Gaming and Musical needs.
Honestly, probably one of the better moves Apple has made recently, along with moving to their own Apple Silicon.
