Verizon could soon become the first carrier in the U.S. to bundle Apple One subscription for free with one of its plans. The network operator reportedly plans to announce the offer alongside the iPhone 14 series.
Apple One subscription pricing starts from $14.95 per month in the U.S. for a single user.
Verizon’s most expensive plan could soon become more attractive
A new MacRumors report details that Verizon will most likely bundle Apple One with its ‘5G Get More’ plan. It is the carrier’s most expensive plan and costs $90 per month for a single user. Verizon already bundles subscriptions to Apple Music, Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, and 600GB of Verizon Cloud Storage as part of the plan. Combined, these services already cost well over $50 per month.
The report does not specify if the Apple One bundle will also be available for existing subscribers. Verizon will likely announce the bundling of Apple One with its most expensive plan around the iPhone 14 launch, i.e., on or around Apple’s ‘Far out’ event on September 7.
Recently, U.K.’s EE became the carrier worldwide to bundle an Apple One subscription with its monthly plan.
Apple One bundle will let you access all of Apple’s services
The individual Apple One plan bundles subscription of Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and 50GB iCloud Storage into one. Subscribing to these services individually will cost users $20.96 per month. Thanks to the bundle, they only have to pay $14.95, translating into a saving of $6.01.
It is unclear if Verizon will allow users to upgrade to the Apple One Family plan by paying the difference amount or not. With the Family plan, you can share the Apple One bundle with your family members and get up to 200GB of iCloud storage.
The addition of the Apple One bundle will further help improve the value proposition of Verizon’s most expensive plan.
