This story originated from a carpooling buddy. I thank him for providing me with inspiration and materials. Friends who have thought about carpooling before may know that I personally don’t like to start a car.Google one.
First, most people don’t have high capacity requirements, and they mostly use Google VPN;
Secondly, you can get a good price by subscribing through a local Apple ID, and there is no need to share a rental.
I have written tutorials on related content, and the operation is also very friendly to ordinary people:
- Tutorial 1:Türkiye Apple ID Registration
- Tutorial 2:Gift Card Shopping in Türkiye
- Tutorial 3:Google Change Region
- Tutorial 4:Google Local Area Unlocks Cards
But this friend who insisted on carpooling valued hard disk capacity more. In addition, Google VPN stopped service at the end of June, and there was no need to worry about the troubles of cross-region setup. I was tempted...
Then, I discovered something interesting...
Originally, I wanted to downgrade from the 5T version to the 2T version to achieve a long-term subscription. It turned out that the 5T version of Google One can use the advanced version of Google AI, Gemini Advanced, for free before December 31, 2024.

How expensive is Google AI?
Currently, the monthly subscription price of Google 2T AI Premium is $19.99 in the United States, and around RMB 130 to 150 in traditional low-price regions such as Nigeria and Turkey. Prices are basically not affected by country.

So, this carpooling happened.
What can Google's AI do? What is the difference between it and ChatGPT? Please use search. If you are interested, you can add me on WeChat (playfulsoulcn). There are four parking spaces. The earlier you arrive, the better.

Carpooling Rules:
1. Account country: Türkiye
2. Carpooling price: 150 yuan/year
3. Google One subscription status
(1) From the date of publication to December 31, 2024, 5T version, AI advanced version functions are available;
(2) Starting from January 1, 2025, it will be reduced to the 2T ordinary version until the end of one year;
(3) If the passenger wishes to upgrade to the 2T AI version, the subscription price will be renegotiated after January 1, 2025;
It is roughly equivalent to spending 100 yuan, and you can use the advanced version of Google AI for 5 months.
Of course, since I only have a few fans, if the number is less than 3, I can't afford such a luxurious product. Please understand.
This may be more suitable for heavy Google users. You can evaluate for yourself whether it is cost-effective.
In addition: YouTube Premium/Netflix also has parking spaces, welcome to share ~
Well, if you find it useful, just follow it. I will synchronize the parking space information on the official account [What's Fun].
