Upgrading to Apple One
What happens to current Apple subscriptions
As Christian explains inhis article about Apple One:
That seems simple enough, right? It actually is and you’ll see those existing subscriptions vanish when you upgrade using the steps further below.
So let’s move onto what happens to iCloud storage plans.
What happens to iCloud storage plans
If you pay for extra iCloud storage each month, here’s how it works when you upgrade to Apple One.
If Apple One gives you more than your current plan: Your current iCloud storage plan is canceled and you’ll receive a pro-rated refund.
If Apple One gives you the same as your current plan: You keep both the iCloud storage plan and the storage included with Apple One for a trial period. When the trial ends, your current iCloud storage plan is canceled.
If Apple One gives you less than your current plan: You keep both the iCloud storage plan and the storage included with Apple One. If you don’t want to pay for both, you can simply keep the storage with Apple One and downgrade or cancel your separate iCloud storage plan.
Is the amount of storage for your Family or Premier plan a concern?Apple states:
If your family needs additional iCloud storage, the family member who purchased Apple One can buy more iCloud storage. With both Apple One and an iCloud storage plan, your family can share up to 4TB of total iCloud storage.
Keep in mind thesestorage amounts with Apple One:
