Update 11/30:Many early Apple One subscribers have seen glitches and issues with the bundle plan at the end of the first free month. You may need to check if your plan was canceled by Apple automatically and re-subscribe manually. You may also want to check you're not being billed for services that sh ould be included with Apple One like Apple Music, Arcade, TV+ etc. See more details below.
