Apple is quietly introducing two new perks for some of its Apple One subscribers. One is already available, while the other must wait until the company releases a new iOS update.

Last month, Apple introduced Apple Invites, a platform that allows users to create and share invitations, manage RSVPs, contribute to Shared Albums, and engage with Apple Music playlists, among other features. Apple Invites is also accessible online for those without an iPhone or any other Apple device. However, to create invitations, you must be an iCloud+ subscriber. Anyone can RSVP, regardless of whether they have an Apple account or device.

Every Apple One subscription includes iCloud+, and individual, family, and premier subscribers can also receive Apple Invites as an extra feature.

Beginning with iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4, Apple also adds a new food section to Apple News+. This section promises to add thousands of recipes and food-related articles from publications like Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Allrecipes, etc. The new software updates are in beta and should be available to the public next month.

Apple New+ is exclusive to Apple One Premier subscribers. If you aren’t an Apple One user, you can purchase Apple News+ monthly for $9.99.

We’re entering a fairly crucial part of the year for Apple. Yes, it’s not the iPhone launch season, which is arguably still the most important part, but it is WWDC time, and it is a first look at the future of Apple’s ecosystem. 

With WWDC 2025 a month away, we haven’t heard much about what Apple has planned, but we know that the event will focus heavily on AI. There may be new hardware in the AirTag 2, but we will learn more about the future of Siri. It’s been a year since the new Siri was announced, but Apple has already confirmed that the features will take another year to roll out.
