Apple Introduces Three-Month Free Trial of Apple One for New Device Purchasers in Canada
To enhance the appeal of its recent product launches, Apple is offering customers in Canada a complimentary three-month trial of its Apple One subscription service with the purchase of new iPhones, iPads, or Macs.
This initiative, dubbed “Get Apple One on us for 3 months,” is aimed at those acquiring devices that support the latest versions of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS, either directly from Apple or an authorized reseller.
This marks the inaugural instance of Apple extending a three-month trial for the Apple One bundle, which has typically featured a one-month trial since its launch in 2020. The newly extended offer commenced on September 17, in conjunction with the unveiling of the iPhone 18 Pro.
Eligibility for this promotion is confined to new and qualified returning subscribers. Current Apple One subscribers, including individuals availing the one-month free trial or those who have previously accepted a three-month offer, are expressly excluded from this promotion. The offer is limited to one redemption per Apple Account as well as one per Family Sharing group.
Consumers have a three-month window following the setup of their new device to activate the trial. To redeem the offer, users must sign in with their Apple Account on the new device, update to the latest operating system, and then navigate to Settings to find “Services included with your purchase.”
Upon conclusion of the trial period, the subscription will automatically convert to its standard Canadian pricing: Individual at $22.95 CAD per month, Family at $30.95 CAD per month, and Premier at $46.95 CAD per month. Users must cancel at least one day prior to the renewal date to evade unwarranted charges.
The Apple One subscription service is available in three tiers: the Individual plan ($22.95 CAD/month) encompasses Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Arcade, and 50GB of iCloud+ storage; the Family plan ($30.95 CAD/month) enhances iCloud+ storage to 200GB and is shareable with up to five additional family members; and the Premier plan ($46.95 CAD/month) offers 2TB of iCloud+ storage alongside Apple Fitness+ and Apple News+.
Escalation of Apple One Pricing in Canada
Since its introduction in Canada in 2020, Apple One has undergone three price increases. The most recent, occurring in October 2022, saw the Individual plan rise from $15.95 to $18.95 CAD per month, the Family plan from $20.95 to $24.95, and the Premier plan from $33.95 to $37.95 CAD.
In October 2023, further adjustments were made: the Individual plan increased to $22.95 CAD, the Family plan to $28.95 CAD, and the Premier plan to $44.95 CAD per month.
The latest price revisions occurred with the increases announced in July 2026, culminating in the Family plan reaching $30.95 CAD and the Premier plan at $46.95 CAD, while the Individual plan remained at $22.95 CAD. Apple cited escalating licensing costs as the primary reason for these adjustments.
For consumers acquiring a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac, this three-month trial serves as an opportune moment to explore the extensive offerings of Apple One prior to incurring the current subscription fees.
