Apple Bundles TV+, Arcade, Music Select Free With iCloud+ in Israel

Apple is enhancing its iCloud+ subscription service in Israel by including Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade at no additional cost, effective this month. This expansion, which also covers the 50GB iCloud+ tier, makes the service a more comprehensive content package for Israeli users. The move is being rolled out in over 100 countries globally, notably excluding the United States.

Subscribers will gain access to Apple TV+'s full catalog, featuring popular series like "Ted Lasso" and "Severance," as well as films such as "CODA." Apple TV+ is currently available on over a billion screens worldwide. Additionally, Apple Arcade, the company's gaming service, will be included, offering over 200 titles without ads or in-app purchases, playable offline.

Further enhancing the bundle, iCloud+ subscribers in Israel will also receive Apple Music Select. This streamlined version of Apple Music provides ad-free music stations, including regional and decade-specific selections. Users can upgrade to the full Apple Music service at a reduced price.

The company is also significantly expanding the availability of Apple TV+ itself, launching the streaming service in 59 new countries, bringing its total reach to 170 nations. The iCloud+ subscription can be shared with up to five family members through Family Sharing.
