Apple One Subscription: Individual INR₹195/Month (~A$3.58), Family INR₹365/Month (~A$6.69) @ Apple India

290

Apple One signed up with an Indian account, can not be family shared with AU account. The only thing that be shared with AU account is iCloud storage as far as I know. Services would not work on iPhone/iPad if you want to continue using your current Apple ID for purchases.

It's a good deal for Apple TV users to be able to access Apple Music, Apple Arcade, and Apple TV Plus, while also being able to share iCloud plus storage with their AU account.

  1. Set up an Indian Apple ID using your AU number to verify.

  2. Login into an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, using an Indian Apple ID.

  3. Buy Apple gift cards from Amazon India using your AU amazon account. Enter an Indian address (make sure indian address is selected, otherwise it will show as out of stock) and use a virtual card from Wise. Sometimes it shows gift cards out of stock when logged in with AU account. Try again and see what works for you.

  4. Sign up to Apple One via settings.

  5. Login on your Apple TV as a second account and enjoy all the services for a lesser price.

You can also share the iCloud store with your AU Apple ID via Family Sharing

    • Do you know if AU members will get access to the other features such as Fitness+ etc?

      • Nope as stated in the description. Also, Fitness+ isn't available in India.

        • Fitness+ isn't available in India.

          Why not?

              Why? It is part of the discussion topic.

    What both this and the Turkish iCloud deal fail to mention is that You need either a payment method from these countries in order to subscribe to the service or you need a iTunes gift card of that country.
    Itunes gift card will probably be thru resellers like G2A, Turgame etc who take a hefty cut.
    Payment method is probably impossible without have a friend/relative in the country right? (revolut/ wise cards don't work?)

    • You can buy gift cards directly from Amazon India - Euronet is their payment provider

  • Well I'm already paying $4.50 for iCloud storage, so an extra $2.19 for Apple TV seems pretty good

    • $4.50? How?

      • the 200gb option I'm guessing …for $4.49

        • Yep that's right

  • Had the free Apple Tv trial for 3 months. There is nothing on it worth watching. Did I miss anything?

    • You certainly missed Ted Lasso

    • Had the free Apple Tv trial for 3 months. There is nothing on it worth watching.

      I concur

      • Same I agree nothing worth paying

    • There was a thread on Macrumors about the Emmy nominations the other day - Better Call Saul, Succession, and Severance were in the running. Everyone was saying "omgwtfbbq Severance is the best TV EVER MADE!" and though a few were holding up Better Call Saul as quality entertainment, none of them watched Succession, which had the most Emmy nominations because it's one of the best shows of recent years. Not throwing shade on Better Call Saul - big fan of Bob Odenkirk but Succession is a masterpiece and it seemed that nobody on Macrumors had seen it.

      Goes to show the impact of fragmenting viewership up by the subscription services they opt in to. There's no doubt that the people on that forum had Apple TV+ and most didn't have access to the others (Better Call Saul might be available on an ad-supported service in America, I don't know). Still, I find it pretty crazy that people miss out on some of the best stuff out there because they don't want to pay for a thousand different subscription services all at once. Hi-diddle-dee-dee, god damn, the pirate life for me.

      Also, Severance isn't very good. Adam Scott is so uniquely unlikeable, and the show relies on a mystique of distance from the audience that keeps my interest in learning more about this mysterious show at a distance too. So yeah, if this deal is just for Apple TV+ and Apple Music plus iCloud that you can't use with your existing account (or may introduce errors), I'm wary.

    How did you manage to get the payment up and running?

  • Has anyone had much luck getting this going? Seems like great value.

  • They don’t have premier with 2T icloud

  • any suggestion as to where to buy apple gift card india?

      • Thanks! I wasn't sure if the giftcards were intentionally "marked as unavailable" due to geo restriction but I went further creating amazon india account with VPN india but also shown "unavailable" hence I concur that it is out of stock :)

        • +1

          I have tested all that already lol :)

          They only released these late 2021 and they sell out fast as I guess for obvious reasons

        • any idea how long they take to restock?

        • Third party seller has ₹2000 gift cards in stock

          • @Pricebeat: i check about 10 times a week and they are never available, is there any alternatives anyone is aware of? rather frustrating, been trying since October lol

      • "You can sign in with your Aussie account" - how? When I go to the Amazon India site, it will only allow you to sign in with a local account. My Amazon AU or Amazon US credentials won't work - just like the fact that I need have AU and US credentials…

        • +1

          Not sure about website but on Amazon app, all you have to do is change the country in settings. Your AU account should stay logged in

          • @Pricebeat: I didn't consider the app (did it all on the web). So I ended up trying to create a new account on Amazon - IN. On the last step it said the phone number I proposed was already linked to an Amazon account. It then tried logging me in with my existing (not new) email, but my password failed. So I requested a password reset, entered the OTP sent, and now I'm logged into IN. Should have waited for your reply, but now I'm in :-)

            EDIT: The part that hurts the most is that they had some 200 INR cards in stock when I first tried, but now unavailable :-(

              • @Pricebeat: It must just be timing. I saw it in stock earlier this morning, then 5 mins later: "Currently unavailable". I've just checked now and also unavailable. I'll just keep refreshing the page throughout the day (the OzBargain way)…

            • @Lasher: Just found out that it’s not third party seller, it’s actually Amazon India selling using Euronet

              • @Pricebeat: Ok - the weird thing is, when I am NOT logged in is is showing availablility for 200 INR card, but when I log in (Amazon.in), it shows as unavailable. Log out, it's available (limit one per customer). Weird…

  • Hey, anyone have any luck setting up an apple id without having to enter bank details when you setup the Apple One sub?

    It makes me choose UPI or bank details(indian only) to setup the free first month. I was wondering if its because I don't have enough balance to cover the first billed month(only have 200 credit but family is 395)….
    I will buy another 200 card when they become available again, its hard to get anything higher!

    • Ahhhh, it was because I didn't have enough credit. Once I got over the 395 then it went through without a problem!

  • too much hassle for me. I could successfully create the AppleID but got stuck at the billing part.

  • Third party seller has some stock of ₹2000 gift cards on Amazon India

  • Ok - update on trying to purchase Apple Gift cards in Amazon India. Whether on the app or website, when I change to India in Amazon, I need to add in a new payment method and Indian address to proceed with the purchase. I added a ₹2000 Gift Card to my cart and checked out. I added the address of The Marriott in Mumbai: Juhu Tara Rd, Juhu Tara, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400049, India and my 28 degrees credit card details. The payment looked like it went through. I even got a code sent to me by mastercard and verified it.

    But then a few minutes later the transaction got declined:
    Payment Failed: Your payment for this order could not be completed. Please retry the payment. If money has been deducted from your card/bank account, it would be refunded in 2-3 business days.

    Sorry to be such a huge pain, but any suggestions or pointers as to what I need to do to make this work/simpler?

    • I just bought 200 rupees to test. Received and redeemed within 5 minutes of placing order.

      I used AU account > Indian Address > Wise Virtual card.

  • Has anyone got any ideas how to get this going in a country that supports all the Apple services.
    I use them all. Especially the fitness+.
    Apple just increased the monthly subscription fees so I’m looking for a way to save money.
