Is there really a sufficient overlap between Apple consumers and "creators"?

I agree, I think it would be more likely this would be a different bundle. Maybe there would be a tier of Apple one that also included this stuff, but I think it would be pretty stupid if that was the only way to get it. I think there’s a lot of companies that might be willing to get this for some of their creative employees who would absolutely resent having to pay for Apple TV+ and Apple Music to do so.

I personally think there's probably enough of an overlap with enough customers that it would make sense to offer it as Apple One Premier+ rather than a stand alone thing. I know a lot of people who I suspect would say "OK, another couple of hundred dollars on top of what I already pay Apple, and I have these on demand to tinker with, sure!" I also know a lot of people who are hobbyists or enjoying tinkering who resent having to pay Adobe to be able to use Creative Suite, so if the price was right (you get tools that Adobe charge $75 a month for PLUS Apple Music, Apple TV+, yadda yadda) then that's a sell in itself. I feel like if you're a family and you and the kids have iPhones and iPads and macbooks and you're already paying for the Apple One Premier plan then it's a fairly trivial cost to have another $30 or whatever dollars on top so that your kids have access to some really good software to create things with, because you've already spent an enormous amount of money with Apple, and there's an upsell from Garage Band to Logic, an upsell from iMovie to Final Cut, etc. It kind of fits. Maybe they have a stand alone subscription for them as well - but you get a better price if it's a bolt on to the Apple One subscription. This is all pure speculation though. The only thing I know if that they offered it like I was proposing, I'd definitely subscribe.
