Question

If you get Apple One for the family, do the existing storage plans automatically get canceled?

My husband, two kids, and I have family sharing for music, but each have our own storage plans. If we shift to Apple One, will each of those storage plans need to be canceled, or does that automatically happen?

Similarly, if I need extra storage, but everyone else is fine with the shared 200GB, do I have the option of upgrading just my own storage, without jumping all the way up to 2TB for the fam?

Thanks for any clarification you can provide!

From the article below.

If you already subscribe to Apple Music, Apple News+, Apple Arcade, or Apple TV+, you don't need to cancel those subscriptions. They will automatically be canceled when you're billed for Apple One.

This is super helpful! Thank you!

I'm disappointed, though, that there's not an option to just individually upgrade storage, and not have it shared, or even parcel out how much storage each account is allowed to access.

I'd like my teens to learn to be accountable for how much space they use, since they're just a couple of years away from buying their own plans (they both have just 50G right now), but I don't want to run out of space for my own work, which I use pretty extensively, particularly at some points of the year (my husband and I both have 200G).
