Apple One offers a bundle of popular Apple services at a discount, and in iOS 27 the high-end Premier plan gains new advantages.
If you’re an Apple One user who needs another reason to upgrade to Apple One Premier, iOS 27 might just provide that reason.
The new iPhone software introduces two upgrades for the high-end Apple One tier.
It’s not yet clear whether all or just some AI features are tied to a subscription. iOS 27’s beta notes simply say: “Apple Intelligence for Home requires an iCloud+ subscription starting at 2TB.”
However, it’s likely the HomeKit Secure Video upgrades at a minimum will require a high-end plan. Those include generated video descriptions, search in clips, and surfacing of noteworthy clips.
If you need a HomeKit Secure Video-compatible camera, I’d recommend:
Some Apple Intelligence features, including image generation, have daily usage limits because they rely on powerful server models. Increased access is available with most iCloud+ subscription plans
Apple One’s Individual tier includes an iCloud+ plan that doesn’t qualify. So if you want higher AI usage limits, that’s another reason to choose Apple One Premier.
Apple One starts at $19.95/month and includes services like Apple TV, Apple Music, iCloud+, and more.
