A customer in South Africa got an email from Apple regarding
its Music subscription platform that a change is coming at its subscription
prices. The email reads that Apple is observing this change for all. It will
apply by June 20 for all subscribers in the region, focusing on its many
subscription features available in various countries.
The current price it has on South Africa is $1.49, but it
will soon change to $1.99 in United States Dollars for all under the Student
Plan in the country. It is only a minimal $0.50 change, but there will still be
a price increase that students will feel when they pay for their monthly
subscription.
There are no announcements from Apple regarding this change
and only the email to its subscribers.
The United States' Apple Music Student Plan have a different
price from other countries, as it is more expensive compared them. It is at
$4.99 a month in the US, instead of the usual $9.99 for the standard or regular
subscribers that do not have proof that they are students.
No announcements and silent emails came from Apple for US
subscribers regarding a price hike in their platform.
Apple Music is a subscription platform that brings all
things music to its subscribers, mainly focusing on iOS users with the native
app built-in and available to their devices upon purchase. The Cupertino
company's music streaming platform focus on bringing many features for
everyone, particularly with its recent Spatial Audio addition.
Like other music streaming platforms, its premium features
and access offer free trials to experience the application and the many
attributes that make it one contender to other rivals. However, there was a
change in Apple Music's offers in recent times, as its three-month trial that
will help on its subscription got reduced to one month only.
Subscribers are still using Apple Music for its
accessibility and comprehensive library that help in bringing the latest and
favorite songs to its users.
The price hike in Apple Music's Student Plans is only
minimal, but it will surely change many things in the platform as it is
something that it did not announce for its subscribers in the current setup.
