Apple One's Best Plan Now Includes Two More Perks For Free

Apple One allows you to subscribe to up to six Apple services for one discounted monthly price. There are three Apple One tiers: Individual, Family, and Premier.

Apple One Apps Feature 2
Over the last month, the highest-end ‌Apple One‌ Premier plan has gained two additional perks.

Here is what Apple One Premier already included, for $37.95 per month:

  • Apple Music
  • Apple TV+
  • Apple Arcade
  • Apple News+
  • Apple Fitness+
  • iCloud+ with 2TB of storage

Here are the two new perks, at no extra cost:

  • Apple Invites
  • Apple News+ Food

Last month, Apple released a new Invites app that allows iCloud+ subscribers to create invitations for any occasion, such as birthdays, dinner parties, graduations, baby showers, and more. The app is available on the App Store for the iPhone.

Anyone can RSVP to an invite from the Apple Invites app, even if they do not have an Apple Account or an Apple device, but creating an invitation requires an iCloud+ subscription. And since iCloud+ is included with all Apple One plans, including the Premier plan, this is a new perk to take advantage of at no additional cost.

The second new perk is Apple News+ Food.

The upcoming iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 updates add a new Food section to the Apple News app on the iPhone and iPad. This section will provide Apple News+ subscribers with tens of thousands of recipes and other food-related content from well-known food-related publishers, including Allrecipes, Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Good Food, and Serious Eats.

Here is how Apple describes the new Food section:

With the new Food feature, users will be able to find stories curated by Apple News editors, as well as browse, search, and filter tens of thousands of recipes in the Recipe Catalog — with new recipes added every day. The beautifully designed recipe format makes it easy to review ingredients and directions, and a new cook mode takes step-by-step instructions to the full screen. Users can also save their favorite recipes for later and access them offline.

iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 are currently in beta. The updates will be released to the general public in April, according to Apple.

Apple News+ is available in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. It is included in the Apple One Premier plan only, so the new Food section will be another perk that comes exclusively with that tier.

Title is a little misleading - it's not really that this specific Apple One package gained new features, it's that two of the component services included in Apple One Premier gained new features.

Apple Invites is included for everyone with an iCloud+ ($0.99 or higher) subscription (as mentioned in the article).

Apple News+ Food is included for everyone with an Apple News+ ($12.99) subscription.

Anyone else feel like News is trash? I don't mean the content, but the application and articles are horribly formatted, and all over the place with fonts, spacing, and ads, its not worthy of a paid service..

I really like Invites as a concept. Many people are getting off social media, but still have a need for some of the utility that it brought. Now I just need friends and something to do 🤔

I would rather see Apple One reduce its cost instead of adding anything.

Both of these "perks" should be free anyway. Apple Invites is not worth the code that went into it. Also, why hasn't Apple put food tracking in their Health Kit?

"for free"
You should have said "with no extra cost" or something.

It's very bold of them to require a paid subscription to use Invites when the app was released not long ago and people are not really into it yet.
I will give the News+ Food a try.
