As a result of the increase in subscription prices of the individual services, the Apple One bundle prices are also increasing as follows:
• Individual – now $19.95 monthly (previously $16.95)
• Family – now $25.95 monthly (previously $22.95)
• Premier – now $37.95 monthly (previously $32.95)
Apple’s last price increase for its services was exactly a year ago and it included hikes in subscription prices of Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, and Apple One. The latest increase does not affect Apple Music, Fitness Plus, or iCloud Plus. The new price increases take effect immediately for new subscribers, and in 30 days from Wednesday, October 25th for existing subscribers.
Apple is not the first streaming service provider to implement a price hike this year, others like Netflix, Max, Disney Plus, Paramount Plus, Discovery Plus, and Hulu have done the same.
