Apple One: Focus on the most important Apple services

A subscription here, a subscription there – it adds up and quickly becomes expensive. Apple One offers a complete subscription. For CHF 20.90.- per month, you get 50 GB of iCloud storage space, Apple Music, Arcade and TV+. This saves you CHF 8.- compared to individual subscriptions. Apple Fitness+ is available individually or in the Apple One bundle for CHF 37.90.-. For this you also get 2 TB of iCloud storage space. But is Apple One worth it? You can find more information about Apple services in the following texts.

iCloud+

What Google Drive is for Android users and OneDrive for Windows users, iCloud is for Apple users. But iCloud is much more than just an online storage service. Find out what features iCloud has, how much it costs and how you can make iCloud even more secure in our iCloud text.

Apple Music

Apple Music has become a powerful Spotify challenger since its launch in 2015. Find out what sets it apart from Spotify and other music streaming services, what it costs you and how it fits into the Apple universe in our Apple Music text.

Apple Fitness+

The best time to make your New Year’s resolutions is… now! We tested Apple Fitness+ for you and reveal all the strengths and weaknesses of the fitness service in our Apple Fitness+ text.

Apple TV+

Got Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and all the other streaming services? Then take a look at your TV app on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV. If you already pay for Apple One, you’re already subscribed to Apple TV+. Apple’s streaming service is home to many award-winning movies and series. Check out our Apple TV+ article to learn more about the service and get series and movie tips! 

Apple Arcade

Play as much as you want for just CHF 6 per month, and without microtransactions, advertising and other in-app purchases? That’s possible with Apple Arcade. You can find all the information about it in our Apple Arcade text.
