Here are the three new elements recently added to Apple One.

Apple One, which was released in 2019, is a package of various Apple services. Content such as TV+, Arcade, and Music is constantly updated, but actual service upgrades or changes are rare. Recently, however, Apple has introduced three new benefits to various Apple One services. Here, we will explain what they are.

Early access to original podcasts on Apple 'TV+'

"Many readers may not have known that Apple is producing its own original podcasts, and that Apple TV+ users can indirectly access them last week."

Apple has tried podcast production in the past. For example, they created companion series for the TV+ series. However, from mid-2024 onwards, the company began to broaden their scope.

Apple is releasing podcasts under a brand called 'Apple TV+' that is unrelated to television services. We know this can be confusing.

Examples include:

• Scam Town, True Crime Series
• "My Divo, bilingual podcast"
• And more

"Apple's original podcasts are released weekly and updated regularly, with new episodes provided every week to both subscribers and non-subscribers."

However, Apple TV+ subscribers have a special benefit: they can immediately use all the episodes from the start.

"Non-members can only listen to the first episode or two, but members of TV+ (and Apple One) can binge-listen from the beginning."

Sudoku puzzles in the Apple News app

iOS 18.2 was released last month with a significant update for iPhone users. This includes Genmoji, ChatGPT integration, and a redesign of the mail app.

With iOS 18.2, Apple introduced a new benefit to subscribers of Apple News+ (and Apple One Premier): daily Sudoku puzzles.

Apple regularly expands the collection of puzzles in the Apple News app, which are all limited to News+ subscribers.

Daily Sudoku puzzles will be added to existing crosswords, quarterly puzzles, and mini-crossword puzzles. Essentially, Apple is adding fun elements to news readers, mimicking a playbook similar to that of major competitors.

Fitness upgrade

Apple Fitness+ has been optimized for your 2025 health goals and includes recent integrations with Strava and several new cardio programs.

• "3-week full-strength enhancement"
• Yoga peak pose
• Introduction to breathing meditation
• Strength, endurance, and agility of pickleball

These additions make Fitness+ a more appealing option in the coming years.

New benefits for Apple One: Summary

While Apple One hasn't been upgrading services too frequently, it's nice to see continuous investment from the company. Providing more value for the same fee is always beneficial for customers, and I'm curious about how Apple One will expand in the future—perhaps focusing on Home-related initiatives in the near future.
