Apple One costs $21.95, $27.95 or $39.95 a month, and Apple’s own pages now carry a current standalone US price for every service inside it. Added up separately, those six services cost $34.96 to $74.94 a month, which means Apple One undercuts them by roughly 37 to 47 percent depending on the tier.
Every figure below comes from apple.com’s own product pages for Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, iCloud, Apple Fitness+, Apple News+ and Apple One, fetched today, September 13, 2026, the day before iOS 27 arrives free for compatible devices.

What each service costs on its own, checked on Apple’s pages today
| Service | Standalone US price today |
|---|---|
| Apple TV | $14.99/month, 7-day free trial for new subscribers |
| Apple Music | Individual $11.99/month, Family $19.99/month, Student $6.99/month, first month free |
| Apple Arcade | $6.99/month or $49.99/year, one month free, or 3 months free with an eligible new device |
| iCloud+ | 50GB $0.99, 200GB $2.99, 2TB $9.99, 6TB $29.99, 12TB $59.99 per month; a free 5GB tier also exists |
| Apple Fitness+ | $9.99/month or $79.99/year, one month free, or 3 months free with an eligible new device |
| Apple News+ | $12.99/month, one month free, or 3 months free with an eligible new device |
None of these six now lacks a published standalone price. Apple TV and Apple Fitness+ in particular carry clear, current figures on their own marketing pages, which is worth stating plainly since both have been described elsewhere as unpriced on their own. They are not.
The arithmetic: how much Apple One actually saves
Apple does not publish this comparison itself, so the sums below are ours, built only from the standalone prices above. Apple One Individual and Family both list Apple Music without naming which tier; because Family and Premier both advertise sharing across up to five people for every included service, we have priced the Family Music plan inside those two tiers and the Individual plan inside Apple One Individual.
| Apple One tier | Standalone total vs bundle price |
|---|---|
| Individual | $14.99 + $11.99 + $6.99 + $0.99 = $34.96 alone, versus $21.95 in Apple One: a $13.01 saving, about 37 percent |
| Family | $14.99 + $19.99 + $6.99 + $2.99 = $44.96 alone, versus $27.95 in Apple One: a $17.01 saving, about 38 percent |
| Premier | $14.99 + $19.99 + $6.99 + $9.99 + $9.99 + $12.99 = $74.94 alone, versus $39.95 in Apple One: a $34.99 saving, about 47 percent |
The Premier tier is where the gap is widest, because it is the only one that folds in both Apple Fitness+ and Apple News+, the two services with the highest standalone prices of the six.
A new discount arrives Thursday, tied to iPhone 18 Pro
Apple’s own newsroom, in a post dated September 11, 2026, states that “new and qualified returning subscribers who purchase iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max can unlock three months of Apple One for free,” and that the offer is “available in select countries and regions with eligible new iPhone, iPad, or Mac devices beginning September 17,” one day before iPhone 18 Pro reaches stores and the same week iOS 27 ships. Apple adds that “service availability varies by region.”
That start date sits awkwardly against the September 9 keynote and Saturday’s pre-order opening: buyers who ordered iPhone 18 Pro this weekend will not be able to claim the three free months until Thursday, a full week after pre-orders began.
What Apple has not said
- Which exact storage tier or Music plan travels inside Apple One Family and Premier; the assumption above is ours, not Apple’s.
- What happens to the price after the three free Apple One months tied to a new iPhone, iPad or Mac end.
- Whether the September 17 offer stacks with an existing Apple One free trial or an existing paid subscription.
- Non-US pricing for any of the seven products in this article; every figure above is a US dollar price.
Today is Sunday, September 13, 2026. The three-month Apple One offer tied to a new device begins Thursday, September 17, one day after iOS 27 arrives and one day before iPhone 18 Pro, Apple Watch Series 12 and AirPods 5 reach stores.
