Apple One signed up with an Indian account, can not be family shared with AU account. The only thing that can be shared with AU account is iCloud storage.

It's a good deal for Apple TV / non Apple/ iPhone users to be able to access Apple Music, Apple Arcade, and Apple TV Plus, while also being able to share iCloud plus storage with their AU account.

Apple one is not available in Türkiye

  1. Set up an Indian Apple ID using your AU number to verify.

  2. Login into an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, using an Indian Apple ID.

  3. Buy Apple gift cards from Amazon India using your AU amazon account. Enter an Indian address (make sure indian address is selected, otherwise gift cards will show as out of stock) and use a virtual card from Wise.

  4. Sign up to Apple One via settings.

  5. Login on your Apple TV as a second account and enjoy all the services for a lesser price.

You can also share the iCloud store with your AU Apple ID via Family Sharing.

    Dang that is cheap!

    Was always against paying Apple one but now part of a shared family account with other ozb members. iCloud for photos is handy AF, and Apple Music is great. Arcade is still kinda soso.

    Shame about the lack of the Premiere tier (you get 2TB split amongst the 'family' and Fitness+).

    • PLA74 on 17/10/2023 - 13:09

      Yeah I was keen for that too as need >200gb iCloud data.

    • nightelves on 17/10/2023 - 13:09

      Where did you see the 2TB plan?

      • settings on 17/10/2023 - 13:11

        There's no Premiere (2TB) plan for Apple India.

        Here's AU

        • nightelves on 17/10/2023 - 13:13

          Would be good if they had 2TB

          • settings on 17/10/2023 - 13:17

            @nightelves: You could subscribe to a additional iCloud 2TB plan.

            Works out to be ~AUD14.20/month.

            But I can't be bothered.

            Less hassle to jump onto an Apple One Premiere plan people advertise here in Classifieds.

    • richmond12 on 17/10/2023 - 13:49

      What tiers in i dia?

    • AustriaBargain on 17/10/2023 - 13:50

      Any Indian deals on the new 6 and 12TB storage options?

      • Pricebeat on 17/10/2023 - 15:03

        Nope, they are same price as in Australia

        • AustriaBargain on 17/10/2023 - 15:11

          Shame. I'm paying I think $43 a month for Premier One and though the 2TB is cover us for now, one of the family is building up a huge collection of photos and videos. The monthly price to upgrade to 6TB is quite yuge, $44.99 for 6TB and $89.99 for 12TB. Of course if the other members don't need that extra space they won't want to pay, so I guess when we hit 2TB I'll have to help her backup the videos somewhere else.

    Thank you OP for sharing. Cheers!

    Seriously looking into this, but do you get Apple Music India? or can you still get Apple Music (AU) ?

    • DrKB108 on 17/10/2023 - 13:30

      Apple Music is the same. You get access to all the songs regardless of whether you are subscribed to Apple Music via Indian ID or AU ID.

      • KanTakahashi on 19/10/2023 - 01:58

        No, you will get recommend songs and charts in the region of your account. Also, some songs is not available due to copyright in that region.

    • AustriaBargain on 17/10/2023 - 13:52

      Yes, but all the songs sound like this https://youtu.be/Zs_9x5daaMI?t=8

  • sauce2k on 17/10/2023 - 13:53

    do i have to keep topping up every month?

    • Pricebeat on 17/10/2023 - 14:41

      Not if you top up enough for few months/years in one go.

  • ColinC on 17/10/2023 - 14:54

    I tried to buy the Apple Store Code from https://www.amazon.in/hfc/bill/apple_store_codes but the order got cancelled after they charged my card, why?
    I tried both Revolut and Wise cards.

  • Skullytor on 17/10/2023 - 14:57

    If I set this up as family sharing to my AU account - what is the risk of getting banned or data loss due to T&Cs? I'm heavily invested in the apple eco system and it would be bad if I lost my services.

      Yeah wondering too

    • nit001 on 17/10/2023 - 17:05

      I have been using Indian Account for more than 2 years, whenever I need to download apps that are not available in Indian Apple Store I switch to AU account just to download the app and switch back to Indian Account , so far I haven't faced any issues

      • Skullytor on 17/10/2023 - 17:06

        Account switching would probably annoy me a bit too much :-D
        I'd rather setup an Indian family account and she the services to my AU account.

        • suchan on 17/10/2023 - 17:11

          This is the trick that @I Smell Pennies shared in the deal I linked in my comment below.

          Wondering if this can work on Indian account too, i.e. setup an Indian account as "family member" and have that account sign up to all their services then share with me.

            @suchan: Overseas apple services can not be family shared to AU account. Only iCloud membership can be shared overseas.

            • Skullytor on 17/10/2023 - 18:10

              @Pricebeat: Ah - bumper. Apple seems to be smarter than others companies. Darn

              • jaimex2 on 17/10/2023 - 18:55

                @Skullytor: Other companies look the other way. They know it's that or nothing.

                Apple knows it can shake down it's customers to pay whatever they like.

    • Apostle0748 on 18/10/2023 - 06:29

      I seem to be the only one, but my Indian account was deactivated as a result. I got it back and it happened again soon after. Did the same thing but never truly came back, I couldn't sign in.

      Anyway, will now likely go down the route of family plan locally in Australia. Setting up my music library in Apple Music was a pain.

      • vodamerc on 22/11/2023 - 09:17

        My account was just deactivated I think. Getting “Apple ID is not active” when trying to sign in. How did you get it back?

  • Lord Ra on 17/10/2023 - 16:49

    I am subscribed to the iCloud +200GB paying that amount montly at the moment. Maybe when my Turkey gift card runs out I might move to India instead :)

  • ColinC on 17/10/2023 - 18:21

    Do I have to sign out from my existing Apple ID and log in to the India Apple ID to subscribe to India Apple One? It seems if I sign out from my existing Apple ID, items in my wallet will be removed too. I want to use this subscription on my iphone.

  • peuwayaqdq on 17/10/2023 - 19:38

    Login into an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, using an Indian Apple ID.

    I only have an old iPhone which I think I can use to do this step. Once I sign up to Apple One, would I still need an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch? Can I then just use Apple Music on my Android and iCloud on my old (intel based) MacBook Pro? Thanks.

    Why would anyone buy the family option if it can’t share?

  • aec on 17/10/2023 - 21:27

    So, as an apple user with an AU account, I can NOT take advantage to this trick to get Fitness+ at a cheap price, right? The only benefit seems to me to be cheap icloud storage.

  • ninfy on 17/10/2023 - 21:43

    Will i be able to use 'Hide My Email', 'Private RElay' and 'Custom Email Domain' features? on the AU account phone?

  • FrugalDealSeeker on 18/10/2023 - 06:04

    If you share the Apple One invite via AirDrop then you don't need to have all accounts from India.

    • Apostle0748 on 18/10/2023 - 06:37

      How does this work? Surely the Australian accounts don't get Music, TV, etc.?

      • FrugalDealSeeker on 18/10/2023 - 09:02

        Have one account from India, then invite your other family member who's apple id is in Australia for example using AirDrop. Source

        • scavang3r on 04/09/2024 - 20:08

          Does this still work?

                @scavang3r: They will show up as a part of the family but when you open music or whatever you will be asked to pay/ use trial and everything will be in Australian. Since most of my family is in India anyway they had Indian account, my wife and i just created Indian apple accounts and a backup apple account for instances where some apps aren’t available.

      I'm in the same boat.

      Trying to get it reactivated but the email advising it has been reactivated or whatever doesn’t come through.

      I thought it might be my unique email address as I didn't really hear of anyone else getting the same issue, maybe not.

    • proveen on 21/10/2023 - 15:55

      Called Apple support and they re-activated the account. I still cant get the family sharing working. My Aus account is the organiser (with other family members already in family sharing) so I’m guessing it wont work that way? Might have to make the IN account the organiser?

    I had some leftover Turkish Lira from using Spotify in Turkey before they shut that down.
    I used the TRL to buy iTunes credit and use family icloud - it lasted a couple of months, then was mysteriously locked.
    I seriously couldn't be bothered trying to get it unlocked.
    Just be warned if you try to do this.
