How to Cancel Apple One (2026 Guide) — The Bundle Math That Apple Doesn't Want You to Do
Updated 2026-02-24 · 6 min read
Apple One bundles Apple Music, TV+, Arcade, iCloud+, Fitness+, and News+ into plans from $19.95/month (Individual) to $37.95/month (Premier Family). The bundle saves money — if you use everything. Most people use 2-3 services and pay for 5-6. Here's how to cancel and the real math on what you should keep.
How to Cancel Apple One
Open Settings on iPhone/iPad
Tap Your Name → Subscriptions
Find Apple One
Tap Cancel All Services or Cancel Subscription
Choose which individual services to keep (if any)
💡 Keep Individual Services: When you cancel Apple One, Apple asks if you want to keep any services individually. This is the smart move — keep only what you actually use and cancel the rest. You can always resubscribe to individual services later.
The Real Bundle Math
Individual plan ($19.95/mo) includes:
Apple Music: $10.99 individually
Apple TV+: $9.99 individually
Apple Arcade: $6.99 individually
iCloud+ 50GB: $0.99 individually
Total if bought separately: $28.96
Bundle savings: $9.01/mo
Sounds great — but only if you use ALL four. If you only use Apple Music + iCloud ($11.98), you're overpaying $7.97/mo ($95.64/year) for services you don't use.
Which Apple Services Are Actually Worth It?
iCloud+ ($0.99-9.99/mo) — Worth it if you have an iPhone. 50GB is enough for most. Photo backup alone justifies it
Apple Music ($10.99/mo) — Worth it if you're in the Apple ecosystem. Otherwise, Spotify or YouTube Music work fine
Apple TV+ ($9.99/mo) — Good originals (Severance, Ted Lasso, The Morning Show) but thin library. Subscribe when a show drops, cancel between shows
Apple Arcade ($6.99/mo) — Most people try a few games and never open it again. Check if you've played an Arcade game in the last month
Apple Fitness+ ($9.99/mo) — Only useful with an Apple Watch. YouTube has free alternatives for every workout type
Apple News+ ($12.99/mo) — Magazines and paywalled news. Your local library likely gives free access to the same publications via PressReader
The Family Sharing Consideration
Apple One Family ($25.95/mo) and Premier ($37.95/mo) cover up to 6 people. The math changes significantly with family:
Family of 4 on Apple Music Family alone: $16.99/mo
Add iCloud+ 200GB for family: $2.99/mo
Total: $19.98 vs Apple One Family $25.95
You're paying $5.97/mo extra for TV+, Arcade — only worth it if someone actually uses them
🔍 Apple Ecosystem Audit: Apple One + extra iCloud storage + AppleCare + iPhone upgrade program — Apple can quietly cost you $100+/month. Upload your bank statement to JustCancel to see every Apple charge.
