Apple One is now available.
The new bundle combines all of Apple’s services in one single monthly payment.
A new report notes that if you bought a year’s subscription to one of the services, you’ll get a pro-rated refund.

A new report says Apple One customers who already have subscriptions to some duplicate services will get a pro-rated refund.

According to iPhone in Canada:

One of the biggest questions about Apple One bundles is how customers would be affected if they paid annually for services such as Apple Music and Apple Arcade.

Now, we can confirm Apple will indeed provide a pro-rated refund on services you’ve already subscribed to for one year.

iPhone in Canada reader Anthony was told by Apple support he would receive a pro-rated refund on his annual Apple Arcade purchase. We were able to confirm the pro-rated refund ourselves with Apple.

This means, for instance, that if you’ve already …

We sat down with Jonathan Morrison, and WOLF to learn more about their latest projects.

”I’m laid back but I don’t front, Dopamine up and the MagSafe plugged, Hit my line like you didn’t just dub, Pressing decline is a sugar rush.”

Queens artist WOLF (aka Julia Wolf) riffs expertly over a minimalist beat, built around a soundbite from one of the iPhone 12’s coolest new features, the MagSafe charger.

If you’re not familiar with WOLF’s music, you really should be. I can’t possibly do it justice the way a music critic could, but to me, two things about it are abundantly clear. One, all of her music pours out of the speakers like chocolate. It’s effortless and incredibly easy to listen to. Two, it’s totally unique, and as she moves around her tracks, often switching seamlessly between English and Italian lyrics, I can’t think of a single artist to compare her to.

On your marks, get set…

’we made a song out of the iPhone 12 MagSafe sound’ is just one of the projects WOLF and…
