        Apple Raises the Price of Apple Music, Apple TV+, and Apple One

   Josh Centers

   [1]9to5Mac reports that Apple is raising the price of its media
   subscription services by $1'$3 per month in the United States, with
   commensurate changes coming to other countries. 9to5Mac wrote:

     Apple said the increase in Apple Music subscription price was due to
     increased licensing costs. The company said artists and songwriters
     will earn more per stream as a result of the pricing tier changes.
     Regarding Apple TV+, the company said the increased price reflects
     the growing catalog of original TV shows and movies.

   For [2]Apple Music, the new pricing is as follows:
     * $10.99 monthly for individuals ($1 increase)
     * $109 per year for individuals ($10 increase)
     * $16.99 monthly for families ($2 increase)

   The Apple Music Voice plan remains priced at $4.99 per month (see
   '[3]Apple Music Voice Plan Is a Bargain If You're OK Using Siri,' 3
   January 2022), and the [4]Apple Music Student plan increased to $5.99
   per month earlier this year.

   For [5]Apple TV+, the prices are now:
     * $6.99 per month ($2 increase)
     * $69 per year ($20 increase)

   For the [6]Apple One bundle that includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple
   Arcade, and iCloud+ (along with Apple News+ and Apple Fitness+ in the
   Premier plan), you'll now pay:
     * $16.95 per month for individuals ($2 increase)
     * $22.95 per month for families ($3 increase)
     * $32.95 per month for the Premier plan ($3 increase)

   The price increases are small and not entirely unexpected, given
   rampant inflation, but we hope Apple doesn't raise them again.
