Apple TV+ will increase by $2 monthly and $10 annually.
Subscribers will be charged $6.99 per month or $69 per year.
This will be the first time Apple TV+ raised its
subscription price since its launch, signifying a frustrating time for
streaming subscribers who have seen price hikes left and right lately.
Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ and YouTube Premium’s family plan all
experienced price increases this year.
Apple Music is seeing a price hike of $1 for individual
subscribers and $2 for families. The individual plan will now be $10.99 per
month and the family plan will be $16.99 per month.
In June, it was reported that Apple Music quietly increased
the price of its student plan in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.
Apple One is a subscription plan that bundles up to six
Apple services like Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, iCloud+, Apple News+
and Apple Fitness+. The new prices for the individual plan, family plan and
Premier plan are $16.95/month, $22.95/month and $32.95/month, respectively.
Below is a statement by an Apple spokesperson
The subscription prices for Apple Music, Apple TV+, and
Apple One will increase beginning today. The change to Apple Music is due to an
increase in licensing costs, and in turn, artists and songwriters will earn
more for the streaming of their music. We also continue to add innovative
features that make Apple Music the world’s best listening experience. We
introduced Apple TV+ at a very low price because we started with just a few
shows and movies. Three years later, Apple TV+ is home to an extensive
selection of award-winning and broadly acclaimed series, feature films,
documentaries, and kids and family entertainment from the world’s most creative
storytellers.
Apple recently raised the prices for in-app purchases on the
App Store in many countries across Asia and Europe.
