Apple One offers access to a bunch of the tech giant’s digital services for a single monthly subscription, saving you money over individual sign-ups.

The Individual plan comprises Apple Arcade, Apple Music, Apple TV+, and iCloud (50GB) for $15 per month.

The Family plan gives up to six people access to the same services for $20 per month, along with 200GB of iCloud storage.

The biggest and priciest bundle is the Premier plan, which for $30 gets you all of the above services (including sharing with up to five others) plus Apple’s recently announced Fitness+ and News+ offerings, along with 2TB of iCloud storage.

With the Family and Premier plans, participating members can access all the included services with their own personal accounts and preferences, the company said.

The bundles allow you to make savings of between $6 and $25, depending on the plan you choose. You can find out more about the kind of savings to be had by checking out this Digital Trends article.

If you’re already an avid user of Apple’s digital services then it’s likely that one of these options is going to be a good fit.

Apple is offering a 30-day free trial for any of the individual services that you don’t already have.

Apple One makes enjoying Apple subscription services easier than ever, including Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, iCloud, and more,” Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, said last month when the company announced the subscription bundle, adding, “With Apple One, you can access the best of Apple entertainment across all your favorite devices with one simple subscription.”

Apple will pay up to $1M to anyone who hacks its AI cloud
Apple's Craig Federighi speaking about macOS security at WWDC 2022.

Apple just made an announcement that shows it means business when it comes to keeping Apple Intelligence secure. The company is offering a massive bug bounty of up to $1 million to anyone who is able to hack its AI cloud, referred to as Private Cloud Compute (PCC). These servers will take over Apple Intelligence tasks when the on-device AI capabilities just aren't good enough -- but there are downsides, which is why Apple's bug-squashing mission seems like a good idea.

As per a recent Apple Security blog post, Apple has created a virtual research environment and opened the doors to the public to let everyone take a peek at the code and judge its security. The PCC was initially only available to a group of security researchers and auditors, but now, anyone can take a shot at trying to hack Apple's AI cloud.

I tried OnePlus’ OxygenOS 15, and it’s much better than I expected
The OxygenOS 15 screen on the OnePlus 12.

Ahead of OnePlus announcing OxygenOS 15, Oppo showed off ColorOS 15, which has taken quite a lot of inspiration from Apple’s iOS software. Given how closely the two pieces of software are related, I was suddenly concerned that OxygenOS 15 would follow the same path.

I’ve now had some hands-on time with OnePlus’ latest software. Is it as derivative as I feared? Surprisingly, no.
Not a total iOS clone

I wore the titanium and aluminum Apple Watch Series 10. This is the one I would buy
A person wearing the titanium Apple Watch Series 10.

For the last few weeks, I’ve worn the latest Apple Watch Series 10 in titanium to find out if it’s the first smartwatch to take me away from only wanting to wear my various quartz and mechanical watches. I wanted to find out if paying more for the titanium version would help it give me that same warm feeling, like meeting up with a good old friend, I get when I put on one of my other favorite watches.

I thought I had the answer quickly, but then things were complicated when the aluminum Series 10 arrived for me to try. It changed my opinion, but was it enough to make me want to return the titanium smartwatch?
