Apple<\/a> is jacking up the prices of several of its subscription services in the US and some other markets. The price increases to Apple TV+<\/a>, Apple Arcade<\/a> and Apple News+<\/a> will take effect immediately for newcomers. "Existing subscribers will see these price increases 30 days later, on their next renewal date," Apple told Engadget in a statement. "We are focused on delivering the best experiences possible for our customers by consistently adding high-quality entertainment, content, and innovative features to our services."<\/p>\n In the US, the price of Apple TV+ is going up by $3 per month to $10. The annual TV+ plan has risen from $69 to $99. Apple Arcade is now $7 per month instead of $5. As for Apple News+, that'll now run you $13 per month for a standalone subscription, up from $10. Apple Music and Apple Fitness+ pricing remains the same.<\/p>\n As MacRumors<\/em><\/a><\/em>points out, these are the first price increases for Apple Arcade and Apple News+ since the company debuted those services nearly four years ago. The cost of an Apple TV+ subscription last changed in October 2022, when it went up from $5 per month to $7<\/a>, meaning that the price of the service has doubled in just over 12 months.<\/p>\n In line with the increases on individual services, Apple is also modifying the prices of Apple One plans. An individual subscription now costs $19.95 per month (up by $3) and it includes Apple Arcade, Apple Music, Apple TV+ and 50GB of iCloud storage. A family plan, which is shared between up to six people and includes 200GB of total iCloud storage, is now $25.95 per month (also an increase of $3).<\/p>\n The highest Apple One tier is Premier, which folds in Apple Fitness+ and Apple News+ access and bumps up iCloud storage to 2TB for up to six people. That now costs $37.95 per month, which $5 more than before.<\/p>\n Services such as these have become an increasingly important part of Apple's business over the last few years. In the second quarter of 2023<\/a>, Apple's Services revenue (which also includes things like AppleCare and the App Store) hit an all-time high of $21.2 billion. Services are second only to the iPhone when it comes to Apple's moneymakers these days.<\/p>\n Apple announced the price increases just ahead of revealing its earnings for the July-September period, which it will do on November 2. The company has also lined up another product event for October 30<\/a>, during which we're expecting to see new MacBook Pro and iMac models.<\/p>\n Update 10\/25 11:34AM ET:<\/strong> Added Apple's statement to clarify when the price changes will take effect for current subscribers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Apple is jacking up the prices of several of its subscription services in the US and some other markets.
