Bharti Airtel has added Apple's iCloud+, Apple TV and Apple Arcade to its family postpaid plans priced at Rs. 999 and above. The telecom company announced the move in New Delhi on September 22, 2026.
Eligible customers can upgrade through the Airtel app or at Airtel stores. Airtel says the change gives families cloud storage, entertainment, and gaming under one plan. The company wants more users to move to higher-priced plans.
iCloud+ gives cloud storage and syncing. Apple TV offers the company's original series and movies. Apple Arcade has a catalogue of games with no ads or in-app purchases. Airtel did not share how much iCloud+ storage each plan includes. The announcement covers family postpaid plans.
The Rs. 999 family plan covers three connections. It offers unlimited data with Fastlane technology, spam protection and entertainment subscriptions. Amit Tripathi, Director of Market Operations at Airtel, said the Apple services give customers "even more value." Airtel said the plan now brings connectivity, entertainment, gaming and cloud storage together.

The new announcement does not list Apple Music. Airtel's earlier tie-up with Apple, announced in February 2025, offered Apple TV+ and six months of free Apple Music on plans from Rs. 999.
In May, Airtel also launched Priority Postpaid, which uses 5G slicing for a better network experience. Its Rs. 999 family plan for three lists Apple TV+ and Apple Music among its benefits. Customers should check the Airtel app for the exact benefits on their plan.
The move fits a wider trend. Telecom operators are adding streaming and cloud services to higher-tier plans. Airtel also said it aims to push higher-value use through differentiated plans and services. It presents the Apple bundle as one more reason for customers to upgrade.
