    Apple One has over 1 billion subscribers. I’m sure they can afford a loss leader like that.

    This is not true. According to a 2022 Press Release, Apple has 900 million paid subscriptions across ALL Apple services. Many of which are App Store-based subscriptions for third party services. The figure also includes things like Apple Care and Apple Financial Services.
