Apple One offers access to a bunch of the tech giant’s digital services for a single monthly subscription, saving you money over individual sign-ups.

The Individual plan comprises Apple Arcade, Apple Music, Apple TV+, and iCloud (50GB) for $15 per month.

The Family plan gives up to six people access to the same services for $20 per month, along with 200GB of iCloud storage.

The biggest and priciest bundle is the Premier plan, which for $30 gets you all of the above services (including sharing with up to five others) plus Apple’s recently announced Fitness+ and News+ offerings, along with 2TB of iCloud storage.

With the Family and Premier plans, participating members can access all the included services with their own personal accounts and preferences, the company said.

The bundles allow you to make savings of between $6 and $25, depending on the plan you choose. You can find out more about the kind of savings to be had by checking out this Digital Trends article.

If you’re already an avid user of Apple’s digital services then it’s likely that one of these options is going to be a good fit.

Apple is offering a 30-day free trial for any of the individual services that you don’t already have.

Apple One makes enjoying Apple subscription services easier than ever, including Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, iCloud, and more,” Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, said last month when the company announced the subscription bundle, adding, “With Apple One, you can access the best of Apple entertainment across all your favorite devices with one simple subscription.”

Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

That $100 phone you were going to grab for your kid's first device, or hand down to grandma, could become a dream in a while. AI's hunger for memory chips just made the entire budget phone category borderline impossible to build.

So how bad are we actually talking?

Apple’s new Upgrade program launches on Tuesday with major changes
Apple's new leasing program might drop AppleCare coverage from the bundle.
iPhone 17 Pro Max

Buying your next Apple device could soon look like leasing a car. Apple is launching its new Apple Upgrade program on Tuesday, July 28, replacing new enrollments in the long-running iPhone Upgrade Program with a lease-based option that covers iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches.

Backed by Klarna, the program is designed to lower the upfront cost of Apple's premium devices, but it is also raising questions about whether you'll actually own what you're paying for.

Setting up your dorm desk? These are the phone stands I’d actually spend my money on
From a $2 folding stand to a three-in-one Apple charging dock, these are the phone stands worth setting up this semester.
Analog Clock, Clock, Electronics

A phone stand is one of the smallest purchases on any back-to-school list, but it's also one of the easiest to get wrong, especially since there are dozens of options available on Amazon. A good phone stand is one that does its job well and, more importantly, doesn't put much of a dent in your budget.

This is one of those product categories where you don’t need to spend big, unless a MagSafe dock or a multi-device charging stand is genuinely useful for your desk or dorm setup. That is why this list begins with the most affordable options and works its way up to the more expensive ones. From a two-pack that costs about as much as a coffee to a three-in-one Apple charging station, I picked eight of Amazon's best-reviewed phone stands worth considering this back-to-school season.
