Apple expands iCloud+ in India by bundling Apple TV and Apple Arcade at no extra cost for iCloud+ subscribers, while standalone subscriptions for these services are being phased out.

By the end of September, the rollout will reach over 100 countries and broaden Apple TV availability to 170 countries, with Mozambique starting at $0.99/month for 50GB and higher storage tiers available.

Apple Music Select remains a limited, radio-style feature rather than full catalog access, with complete library access available only through a separate subscription.

The expansion list includes countries across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean but excludes the United States.

Content in these regions remains largely English-focused with limited local-language offerings tied to Apple TV in the newly supported markets.

The announcement enumerates a wide set of countries—India, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Türkiye, UAE, among others—sourced from coverage by 9to5Mac.

New parental controls introduce age-based safeguards for child accounts, website and contact approvals, enhanced Communication Safety, and a redesigned Screen Time experience.

Siri AI also includes safeguards for children, with age-based protections, approvals, improved Safety features, and a revamped Screen Time experience.

The overall update package highlights new parental controls alongside the refreshed Screen Time experience as part of the broader ecosystem enhancements.

The arrangement does not apply to established Apple TV markets like the United Kingdom and United States, where Apple TV remains a separate product and sold via Apple One bundles.

Apple announced major software updates—iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and tvOS 27—with Siri AI and Apple Intelligence enhancements, plus broader language support planned for October.

Siri AI is rolled out in beta in English with planned expansion to French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish as part of the October update.
