Increasing Apple Music Subscription Prices: What You’ll Pay

Attention Apple Music subscribers! Get ready to pay a little more for your tunes. Apple has recently announced price increases for various Apple Music and Apple One subscription plans in the U.S. and other countries. The reason behind the increase? Rising music licensing costs and higher payments to artists and songwriters.

Here’s a breakdown of the new monthly prices:

– Apple Music Student: $6.99 (up from $5.99)
– Apple Music Individual: $11.99 (up from $10.99)
– Apple Music Family: $19.99 (up from $16.99)
– Apple One Individual: $19.95 (no change)
– Apple One Family: $27.95 (up from $25.95)
– Apple One Premier: $39.95 (up from $37.95)

Apple has stated that these price adjustments are necessary to help cover the increased licensing costs while also ensuring continued support for artists and songwriters.

But here’s a silver lining—for all the music lovers out there, Apple Music’s individual plan still comes in at a lower price point compared to Spotify Premium, which is currently priced at $12.99 per month.

In addition to the price changes, Apple is sweetening the deal by continuing to offer free Apple TV+ with its Apple Music Student plan. Plus, if you purchase eligible Apple devices, you can score up to three months of Apple Music on the house.

So, while you may be paying a bit more for your music subscription, rest assured that you are still getting great value and supporting your favorite artists and songwriters along the way. Time to crank up the tunes and enjoy the beats!
