For $20 my wife and I both get Apple Music, Apple TV+ (several shows we enjoy on there), 200GB Cloud Storage, and subscription access to a bunch of video games.
2 subscriptions to YouTube Music by itself would cost us the same $20, with none of the other benefits (and it has a muuuuch lousier selection of stuff I like, at least – plus a lot of the user-uploaded content has audio quality on par with some 96khz mp3 I'd have gotten off of napster two decades ago, whereas Apple's increasingly streaming lossless)
- Steltek 5y agoYoutube Music has a family plan for $15/m for 5 users and all users also get YT Premium (nee Red). It's a way better deal.
- msbarnett 5y agoEhhhhh there's just the 2 of us, so with none of the other benefits, which to me are worth $5, it's not an interesting deal. Plus neither of us spend any time on YouTube so that whole "Premium" ad-free thing is just meaningless access to absolute junk content.
