# Apple One: Improvements and Upcoming Features
For anyone interested in Apple’s services, Apple One has consistently been an excellent choice for consolidating them together while saving some cash. Over the years, new features have regularly been incorporated into Apple’s diverse offerings. Here are the latest enhancements Apple One has received, along with a sneak peek at what lies ahead in iOS 26.
## Recent Advantages for Apple One Subscribers
This year, Apple One has seen significant enhancements primarily from updates to Apple News+. While News+ had early challenges, Apple has gradually transformed it from a magazine-centric platform into a comprehensive source for games and recipes.
On the gaming side, Apple News+ introduced a totally new ‘Emoji Game.’ Think of it as Wordle, but utilizing emojis instead of letters, and you’ll understand. The Emoji Game presents new puzzles daily to draw users back. It complements existing daily puzzle offerings like Crossword, Sudoku, Quartiles, and Crossword Mini.
This spring also marked the addition of a new Food section in News+, brimming with thousands of recipes. These recipes are elegantly designed and provide a far superior cooking experience compared to typical recipe websites.
Earlier this year, Apple One also launched several other notable perks:
– Apple Invites is an exciting new app for event planning, requiring iCloud+ to set up events.
– Apple Fitness+ now provides multi-week programs, Strava integration, and additional features.
More enhancements are on the horizon this fall with iOS 26 and beyond.
## Upcoming Apple One Features in iOS 26
Apple Music is set to receive a particularly extensive update in iOS 26, featuring some of the most significant changes in recent years. New offerings include:
In iOS 26, Apple Fitness+ will unveil Custom Plans, making it easier than ever to create and adhere to a workout routine. Custom Plans in Apple Fitness+ simplify the process of following a personalized schedule, automatically generating plans based on users’ workout and meditation preferences, such as their favorite activities, durations, trainers, music, and more.
To help users remain motivated, Stay Consistent provides a pre-built schedule of activities that align with their current routine. Meanwhile, Push Further offers a plan that extends the duration of each day’s workout sessions — or even adds an additional day — making it ideal for those seeking a challenge. For newcomers to Fitness+, Get Started presents a ready-to-go plan based on selected interests or popular activities, offering users an advantageous starting point. Furthermore, Custom Plans can now be found on a dedicated Plans page.
Apple Arcade will benefit from a newly developed Games app designated for your iPhone. Through the Games app, Arcade users will enjoy easy access to all their installed Arcade titles, the ability to explore the complete Arcade library, view editorial content, and more.
While most features of the Games app enhance what has already been available, a novel addition is challenges. Challenges present an enjoyable way to engage in competition with your friends. Anticipate that Apple Arcade titles will take the lead in implementing challenges, effectively “transforming single-player games into shared experiences with friends, providing more ways to gather a group, determine a winner, and organize a rematch.”
These are all revisions to existing Apple One services. Additionally, it’s quite possible that a new service will be introduced in the coming year as well. Speculation suggests that Apple Health+ has been under development for some time, with a launch expected in a future iOS 26 update. The forthcoming service is said to introduce an AI-powered assistant in the Health app along with food tracking capabilities, educational videos, and more.
## Apple One in iOS 26: Conclusion
If you are currently a subscriber of Apple TV+, or if you’re already paying monthly for Apple Music and iCloud+, Apple aims for the recent and forthcoming enhancements to Apple One to entice you toward the bundle. The strength of bundling lies in enhancing the value of the services you already cherish, and that’s precisely what Apple has been delivering and plans to amplify in iOS 26.
