Apple One does not include Peacock

Apple One is Apple's bundle of its own services: Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, and iCloud+ storage. Peacock, which is owned and operated by NBCUniversal, is not part of any Apple One tier. If you want both services, you pay for them separately.

This matters because streaming bundles can look similar on the surface, but each company bundles only the services it owns or has licensed. Apple cannot add Peacock to Apple One without a licensing deal with NBCUniversal, and no such deal exists. You will see your Apple One subscription and your Peacock subscription as two separate charges on your bill.

Key Takeaways

  • Apple One includes only Apple's own services: Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, and iCloud+ storage in various combinations.
  • Peacock is owned by NBCUniversal and is sold as a standalone subscription, not bundled with any Apple product.
  • The three Apple One tiers (Individual, Family, and Premier) do not change which services are included, only the number of users and storage amount.
  • If you want both Apple TV+ and Peacock, you will pay for each one separately each month.

What Apple One actually includes at each tier

Apple One comes in three tiers: Individual, Family, and Premier. The Individual tier includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and 50 GB of iCloud+ storage. The Family tier adds room for up to six people and bumps iCloud+ to 200 GB. The Premier tier (available only in certain countries) adds Apple News+ and Apple Fitness+ and raises iCloud+ to 2 TB.

None of these tiers include Peacock, Hulu, Disney+, Max, Paramount+, or any other streaming service outside Apple's own portfolio. If you see a bundle that includes multiple streaming services from different companies, it is typically a third-party offer (like a wireless carrier bundling services) rather than an official Apple product.

Why Peacock is not bundled with Apple services

Peacock is owned by NBCUniversal, a separate media company. Apple bundles only services it owns outright or has built itself. Peacock has its own subscription model and its own business goals, so NBCUniversal sells it independently. The same is true for every other major streaming service—Disney owns Disney+, Warner Bros. Discovery owns Max, Paramount owns Paramount+, and so on.

Bundling would require a licensing agreement between Apple and NBCUniversal, and those deals are rare and usually temporary. Even when they happen, they are announced publicly. There is no current agreement to include Peacock in Apple One, and no indication one is being negotiated.

How to get both Apple One and Peacock

You subscribe to each service independently. Open the Apple TV app or visit apple.com to sign up for Apple One. Open the Peacock app or visit peacock.com to sign up for Peacock. Both subscriptions will appear as separate line items on your bill—one to Apple, one to NBCUniversal.

Peacock offers a free tier with ads, a Premium tier with ads, and a Premium Plus tier without ads. Apple One's Individual tier starts at a lower price than the combined cost of buying Apple Music and Apple TV+ separately, but that discount applies only to Apple's services. Adding Peacock means paying full price for Peacock on top of whatever Apple One tier you choose.

Checking what comes with your current Apple subscription

If you already have an Apple One subscription, you can see exactly what is included by opening the Settings app on any Apple device, tapping your name at the top, and selecting "Subscriptions." This screen shows every active subscription tied to your Apple ID, including Apple One and any add-ons you have purchased.

If you are unsure whether you have Apple One or just individual Apple services, this is the fastest way to check. You will see "Apple One" listed by name if you are enrolled in the bundle, along with which tier you are on (Individual, Family, or Premier).

Other streaming services not included in Apple One

Apple One does not include Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Max, Paramount+, Amazon Prime Video, or any other third-party streaming service. Apple TV+ is Apple's own streaming service and is the only general entertainment streaming app bundled with Apple One. Apple News+ is included in the Family and Premier tiers, but that is a news and magazine service, not a video streaming service.

If you want a bundle that includes multiple streaming services from different companies, you would need to look at offers from wireless carriers, internet providers, or other third parties. Some carriers bundle Peacock with their plans, for example, but that is separate from Apple One.
