Prices in Australian dollars for the cheapest plan of each kind, a month. “Not sold” means the service’s page shows no such plan. “Price not verified” means we could not read a price on the service’s own Australian page, so we print none rather than copy one from elsewhere. Apple One is a bundle, so its Individual plan includes Apple TV and Apple Arcade as well as music.
