But, after almost three years of delaying, finally got my wife’s iMac connected to iCloud storage. It was extra confusing and worrying to her. Her personal folder management goes back over 20 years to before there was a standard Documents folder on the Mac. So she never used that. We had to...

My AppleOne Premiere subscription is on. I had to do one final appeal to Apple to get a refund on a double charge of iCloud. But now I'm on the $30/mo service and this should be fine until I might want to cut costs and pare down services (e.g. I lose interest in aTV or Music). I've found, to my...

But I‘m being billed a full months fee for less than a months service on everything. The experience makes no sense to me. First month of AppleOne is free. I expected all individual services to not renew during that first month with AppleOne bridging me to a new billing cycle. The actual process...

We have Family sharing. It‘s good for iCloud storage. It’s increasingly useless for app purchases with everything moving to IAP the past several years.

I wish it were smooth. I pressed the AppleOne subscribe button on my iPhone. That’s it. Just did what Apple wants any user to do. A week later, I’m charged for AppleTV renewal. The next week Apple Music comes up and renews. This week iCloud renews. If I’m supposed to have canceled all my...

Apple hates us.

I requested a refund of the duplicate iCloud renewal, and got that along with its cancellation. So I’ve only double-paid for Music. Friends say their switch to AppleOne was smooth. But it’s been only frustration for me.

I’m so confused by the upgrade process for AppleOne. I signed up for it But it’s still renewing and charging me for all my individual TV, Music, iCloud plans. 😕 I submitted for a refund of the TV and they did so…and canceled my aTV sub. So i have no aTV until AppleOne kicks in for its second...

Apple Arcade is side bonus, and I wouldn’t pay for it per se. But it‘s fun. My wife is immediately addicted to Splitter Critters. I’m enjoying Thumper Mobile — a game I’ve thought about buying in the past. Also Galaga+ is fun. Its big hole is there’s no idle-time match-three pattern matching...

Apple iCloud storage doesn’t work like Backblaze in that it’s not a rolling backup. And it doesn’t store prior versions of data for recovery from accidental deletion AFAIK. But it answers my key concern: automated online data repository of all personal data and photos in case home burns down...

Just signed up for Apple One Premier, the $30/mo top tier plan. As of tomorrow, I would have have: 2TB iCloud ($10), Music ($15), TV ($5). Comes to $30/mo. So switch to One for same price. Don't know if I care about News or Fitness. But get them for free now. And can cancel Backblaze...

https://daringfireball.net/2020/08/apple_one_subscription_bundle Hadn’t read the pricing previously. If it’s $45 discounted to $40, then I don’t see getting it. If pricing magically came out like Gruber wishfully proposes, I’d probably get it without much thought.

Maybe? Depends. I’m currently over saturated on entertainment options. I’m interested in some aTV+ shows, but I’ve got five other streaming services I can’t watch all of. I’m interested in some Arcade games, but I’ve got a Switch I don’t have time to play much. Apple Music is of some...
