Apple is doubling down on its Services division with a visual and naming refresh.
Following the official drop of the ‘+’ from the TV streaming platform, Apple has quietly introduced a new, dedicated logo for its Apple One subscription bundle, signalling a clearer push into the premium subscription market. Is this an omen of price rises to follow? Will Fitness+ also get a rebrand?
Apple Services Rebrand: Why the New Apple One Logo and Apple TV Name Change Matter
Apple One: Six Slices of Service
The most eye-catching change is the introduction of a good-looking, vibrant, distinct logo for Apple One, a service that previously lacked its own strong visual identity. This change came after the company confirmed that its streaming service would be rebranded from Apple TV+ to simply Apple TV.
- Design: The new Apple One logo features the classic Apple icon silhouette split into six colourful, stacked slices.
- Meaning: Each colour in the logo represents one of the core services included in the Premier bundle: Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Arcade, iCloud+, Apple News+, and Apple Fitness+.
The introduction of this logo, first spotted on the updated Apple TV website by 9to5mac, creates an instantly recognisable sub-brand for the subscription bundle.
Shedding the ‘Plus’: Apple TV Simplifies its Name
The rebrand of Apple TV+ to just Apple TV is now official, coinciding with the launch of a new visual identity, plus an audio component to the branding with a ‘sonic signature’ by FINNEAS.
Apple’s Services Senior VP, Eddy Cue, previously indicated the change was made because the brand awareness is now sufficiently strong that the ‘+’ is no longer needed. However, the move introduces confusion with three products now sharing the Apple TV brand:
- The streaming subscription service (formerly Apple TV+).
- The Apple TV 4K set-top box (hardware).
- The application hub (app) for all video content.
More to come: Fitness Next
Apple Fitness is the company’s one-stop app for starting, sharing, and reviewing summaries of workouts on either the iPhone or Watch. Yet it also links to the Fitness+ subscription service.
The ‘+’ adds another layer of confusion to the fitness offering, even though it is in line with the iCloud+ and News+ components of Apple One. Fitness+ may be next for the naming chop.
Why This Matters for Subscribers
These rebrands are not just cosmetic. At a minimum, Apple has recognised a degree of confusion in its subscriptions and packages, and is moving to clarify the distinctions.
Apple customers have long complained that several of these services have stagnated and not kept up with trends in the industry. For example, the free tier of iCloud storage remains stubbornly at 5Gb. Perhaps that and more is about to change, with a revamp of the value proposition for the entire Apple One subscription umbrella in time for the holiday season.
