Apple is quietly rolling out two new benefits for select Apple One subscribers. Apple Invites is available now, while a new food section in Apple News+ will arrive with the public release of iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4.
Apple recently launched Apple Invites, a versatile platform enabling users to create and share invitations, manage RSVPs, contribute to Shared Albums, and interact with Apple Music playlists. This service is also accessible online, making it usable even without an Apple device. Creating invitations requires an iCloud+ subscription, which is included with all Apple One bundles. RSVPing to invitations, however, is open to anyone regardless of their device or Apple account status. Individual, Family, and Premier Apple One subscribers all receive Apple Invites as an added benefit.

The second perk, coming with iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4, is a dedicated food section within Apple News+. This enhancement will provide thousands of recipes and food-related articles from renowned publications like Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, and Allrecipes. Currently in beta, these software updates are expected to launch publicly next month.
Apple News+ is exclusively available to Apple One Premier subscribers. Non-Apple One users can subscribe to Apple News+ separately for $9.99 per month.
