Costco Now Selling Discounted Apple News+, Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade Subscriptions

Costco appears to have recently started selling subscriptions to Apple services at discounted yearly prices. On the Costco website, Costco members can purchase a subscription to Apple TV+, Apple News+, or Apple Arcade at a lower cost.

apple news plus
‌Apple Arcade‌ is available for $44.99, down from the standard yearly price of $49.99, and ‌Apple TV+‌ is also available at the same $44.99 price point. ‌Apple News‌+ is available for $89.99 for a year of service.

Apple does not offer a yearly subscription to ‌Apple News‌+, selling it for $9.99 per month for a total yearly price of $120, so the $90 price point from Costco is a notable discount.

Costco appears to have just recently started offering Apple subscriptions for purchase, and there is a banner on the main Costco website that reads "Now at Costco. ‌Apple TV+‌, ‌Apple News‌+, and ‌Apple Arcade‌. Get 1 year subscriptions at incredible values."

(Thanks, Jordan!)

Who in their right mind would pay 9.99$ for News+????
The WSJ (biggest paper on news+) is normally $39 a month. If you’re fine reading from the news app, it a great deal even for that one paper. Throw in access to select local papers, pop-mech and pop-sci, Time, Times of London, plus more; and News+ is sort of a bargain at $9.99.

The service isn’t targeted at people who get most of their news from cable networks, YouTube, social media, and bloggers.

That's cheaper than a subscription to one of the publications provided by News+ (to which I was subscribed before) so I honestly don't see how that's a bad deal.

I posted a thread about this in the appropriate subforum recently. Its a great product stymied by being full of garbage. All the big, reputable news sources left or never participated to begin with leaving it full of tabloidy nonsense.

So to answer your question: if I didn't have Apple One, not me.
I can't agree more.
