I had an email yesterday telling me that the Apple One subscription was going up for the second time in twelve months.

It no longer represents good value for me and I can save nearly £100 a year by cancelling and subscribing to the important parts that I use most.

Apple are not alone in increasing prices (in a cost of living crisis) to the point they no longer represent fair value. What is it with companies that they lack basic business smarts?

No offense to the Apple brains in here but you reached all so here I am:

These prices for Apple One are fucking INSANE!

Music, Arcade, Fitness, And News are all essentially worthless digital pandering for media conglomerates. They double charge providers on the back and and then charge you to use the service.

All that's left is TV and Cloud, and 39 bucks for streaming with 2TB of cloud space is not. a. deal. at. all.

I pay LESS than that and get 4TB of Cloud space between Google and Adobe and I have Lightroom and Photoshop.

Each one is 10 bucks.

Fitness is especially hilarious to me -- you pay a small fortune for the stupid little toy and then have to pay to get your metrics? WTF?

Get a Garmin and ditch the toy. Lifetime data for free.
