๏ฃฟ Apple has come to bite me

๐ŸŽ apple

My family has an Apple One subscription, and we have an interesting arrangement in place. One of my sisters pays $25 a month; the other pays only $40 a year. The rest is on me. That means, this price increase will probably be on me as well. What one does for family ๐Ÿ˜‚

Are we making use of all the Apple services?

Most certainly not!

Lets dig deeper:

  1. iCloud:
    • Used for device backups by everyone.
    • Apple Home recordings. Insurance policy but one that has yet to be useful.
  2. Apple Music:
    • Used now and then by 3 family members, while the other three do not use it at all. I use it more than anyone else though.
  3. Apple TV: used by only 2 family members . Yours truly included. Still has the best 4K streaming of any platform.
  4. Apple Arcade: Barely used by me (for my son), no one else uses it.
  5. Apple Fitness: I only use it and I find it useful. Having said that, since getting Google Health, I have made more use of the fitness workouts from Google Health which is from Google's partnership with Peloton.
  6. Apple News+: I suppose I use it but would be couple time of week at best. I am confident no one in my family uses it. I cannot blame them, these days, news is so negative.

This increase is like a little thorn in my otherwise beautiful garden. Therefore, for now, I will continue as usual.
