Key Points:
- Apple has launched a new initiative in over 100 countries bundling Apple TV and Apple Arcade subscriptions with iCloud+ at no extra charge, targeting smaller and price-sensitive markets.
- This new bundle is offered with the 50 GB iCloud+ subscription tier, enhancing access to Apple’s content services without the higher cost of Apple One bundles, although the United States is not included.
- Some markets will also receive an ‘Apple Music Select’ tier within iCloud+, offering ad-free radio stations and the option to upgrade to a full Apple Music plan at a discounted price.
- The rollout expands Apple TV availability to 59 new countries, bringing the total number of countries with Apple TV service to 170 worldwide.
- This strategy indicates Apple’s shift away from promoting Apple One bundles in these regions, focusing instead on more affordable and accessible service packages.
