Apple expands iCloud+ to include Apple TV and Apple Arcade in Mali
Starting this month, iCloud+ subscribers in Mali will gain access to Apple TV and Apple Arcade as part of their iCloud+ subscription — at no additional cost. The expanded subscription lets users back up, store, and share personal content across all their Apple devices using iCloud, while also enjoying award-winning originals from Apple TV and hundreds of hit games in Apple Arcade. Family Sharing allows users to share their iCloud+ subscription with up to five family members. With the introduction of this expanded iCloud+ offering, users in Mali will also get access to Apple TV for the first time.
“We’re excited to bring Apple TV and Apple Arcade to iCloud+ users in over 100 countries in one convenient subscription,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Services and Health. “iCloud+ users can now securely store and share personal content across their devices, enjoy the absolute best in original storytelling from Apple TV, and explore an incredible lineup of hundreds of games through Apple Arcade.”
Award-Winning Entertainment with Apple TV
With the updated iCloud+ subscription, users in Mali will also gain access to Apple TV and its award-winning, compelling drama and comedy series, feature films, groundbreaking documentaries, and kids and family entertainment across their favorite screens with new releases every week, including multi-Emmy Award-winning and history-making comedies The Studio and Ted Lasso; global cultural phenomenon Severance; Apple’s most-viewed drama, Pluribus; Academy Award Best Picture winner CODA; and Academy Award winner F1, the highest-grossing sports feature of all time.
Since its worldwide launch on November 1, 2019, Apple TV has premiered more original hits and received more award recognitions faster than any other streaming service. To date, Apple Original films, documentaries, and series have been honored with more than 900 wins and over 3,800 award nominations. Apple TV is available on the Apple TV app on over 1 billion screens, including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV 4K, Mac, popular smart TVs, and gaming consoles, and at tv.apple.com.
200+ Incredibly Fun Games on Apple Arcade
iCloud+ subscribers in Mali will also enjoy unlimited access to Apple Arcade, an award-winning subscription service offering a curated catalog of over 200 games, including legendary franchises like Football Manager 26 Touch, NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition, and Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition; originals like Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Sneaky Sasquatch, Angry Birds Reloaded, and Cooking Mama: Cuisine!; and greatest hits from the App Store like Block Blast+, Subway Surfers+, and Ultimate 8 Ball Pool+.
