Apple Arcade now offers a slightly cheaper yearly subscription

Peter, 16 December 2019

Apple Arcade was announced in March and launched with a price of $5 a month. Now Apple has decided to add a yearly payment option, which drops the monthly price a bit.

Changing from a monthly to a yearly subscription for Apple Arcade

In North America, a year of Arcade costs USD50 in the US and CAD60 in Canada. In the UK and mainland Europe, it’s GBP50 and EUR50, respectively. You save about 20% for one year - here’s how much you’ll be paying per month with either option.

Apple Arcade	Monthly subscription	Yearly subscription
US	USD 5/mo, USD 60 a year	USD 4.17/mo, USD 50 a year
Canada	CAD 6/mo, CAD 72 a year	CAD 5.00/mo, CAD 60 a year
UK	GBP 5/mo, GBP 60 a year	GBP 4.17/mo, GBP 50 a year
Europe	EUR 5/mo, EUR 60 a year	EUR 4.17/mo, EUR 50 a year

If that sounds good, you can go into the App Store, Account, Subscriptions and change the Arcade subscription from “1 Month” to “1 Year”.

I'll consider that if they bring back their only AAA game series called Infinity Blade. Epic and Chair Entertainment should make a Triple Remaster Pack and be done on Unreal Engine 4.

Lol it depends on the type of service, I think Apple TV and Arcade are useless but AppleCare and others would be useful. But the problem is most Apple services comes at a premium (not cheap). I have a relatively new iPhone and I don't enrol in any of...
