Apple Music Price Hike: What You'll Pay Now
18 Jul
Summary
- Apple Music individual plan increased to $12 monthly.
- Family and Premium Apple One bundles also saw price hikes.
- Rising licensing costs cited as the reason for increases.
Apple has once again raised the subscription costs for its music streaming service and associated bundles. The individual Apple Music plan has increased from $11 to $12 per month. Additionally, the Family plan has seen a rise from $17 to $20 per month, and the Student plan is now $7 per month, up from $6. These changes are attributed to escalating licensing expenses.
The price adjustments extend to Apple's subscription bundle, Apple One. While the Individual Apple One plan remains unchanged at $20 per month, both the Family and Premium tiers have increased by $2, now costing $28 and $40 per month, respectively. These bundles offer a combination of services like Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Arcade, along with iCloud storage.
This marks the second price increase for Apple Music in recent years, following a similar adjustment in 2022. The company has also recently increased prices on its hardware products due to ongoing shortages impacting electronics costs. Apple has been contacted for further details regarding the justification for these subscription price hikes.
