Apple is increasing the prices of several of its services, including Apple TV Plus, Apple Arcade, Apple News Plus, and Apple One. Apple TV Plus will now cost $9.99 per month, up from $6.99 per month. Additionally, Apple Arcade will be priced at $6.99 per month, up from $4.99 per month. Apple News Plus is also getting a price increase from $9.99 per month to $12.99 per month. These changes were initially reported by MacRumors, who first spotted the updates.
The Apple One bundle, which includes Apple TV Plus, Apple Music, and Apple Arcade, will also see a price increase. Here’s a breakdown of the new pricing for each tier of Apple One:
– The Individual plan offers Apple TV Plus, Apple Music, and Apple Arcade, along with 50GB of iCloud Plus storage.
– The Family plan includes Apple TV Plus, Apple Music, and Apple Arcade for up to five people, with 200GB of shared iCloud Plus storage.
– The Premier plan offers Apple TV Plus, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Fitness Plus, and News Plus subscriptions, along with 2TB of iCloud Plus storage.
Apple’s revenue from subscription services, such as iCloud and Apple TV Plus, has been a significant area of growth for the company. The price increases implemented today are expected to contribute to the continued growth of these services. The Verge reached out to Apple for comment, but has not received an immediate response.
This marks the second time in a year that Apple has increased the prices of its services. However, it appears that Apple Music, Fitness Plus, and iCloud Plus subscriptions will not be affected by this price change.
