Apple TV+ and other Apple One services get a price hike

Subscribers to Apple TV+ are about to get a big surprise as Apple today raised the price of its Apple TV+ streaming service for the second time in its four-year history, hiking it from $7 to $10 per month. Its annual subscription rate also goes from $69 to $99.

The new prices quietly appeared on the company’s website today, but Apple TV+ isn’t the only service in its roster to see a price increase: Apple’s gaming subscription service, Apple Arcade, has gone from $5 per month to $7 per month and its news subscription, Apple News+ goes from $10 per month to $13 per month. This is the first time either of those services has had their prices increased.

While Apple Music and Fitness+ seem to have dodged the increase, the company’s Apple One bundles that include these services have also had their prices increased. The Individual plan, which includes Apple TV+, 50GB of iCloud storage, Apple Music, and Arcade, goes from $17 per month to $20 per month; the Family plan, which includes the same services but with 200GB of iCloud storage, hits $26 per month from $23 per month; and finally the Premier plan with 2TB of iCloud storage, plus Fitness+ and News+, gets the biggest increase, going from $33 per month to $38 per month.

The price increase has taken effect immediately in the U.S. and other countries, including Canada, which sees Apple TV+ go from $9 to $13 per month ($89 to $129 yearly); Apple Arcade hike up from $6 to $9; and Apple News+ going from $13 to $17 per month.

While it has been rare for Apple to raise the price of Apple TV+ and its other services, it’s less surprising since other streaming services, such as Netflix, have recently increased their rates. Given the success of many of its originally-produced shows, such as Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and Severance, it’s kind of surprising Apple hasn’t done this sooner.

Apple TV+ is one of our favorite streaming platforms for all things cinematic and episodic. Since its launch in 2019, we’ve watched the service grow from a streamer with only a few titles to its name, to one of the most prolific and recognized platforms available. Oh, and let’s not forget that the Apple TV+ original movie CODA took home the Oscar for Best Picture in 2022. 

As fans of Apple TV+, we do our very best to keep our readers interested in what new movies and shows are arriving on the streamer, which is why we’ve put together this roundup. Take a look at what’s in store for the year’s end, and what we can expect to see several months down the line on Apple TV+.

Oh, no! A full-screen promotion for a service on the platform you basically got for free! Phil Nickinson / Digital Trends

There’s been a little bit of a kerfuffle of late regarding Amazon Fire TV and advertising. Not that it has ads on the home screen, mind you. That’s not exactly new. But, rather, that you’re getting pushed onto a full-screen promo when coming out of sleep mode because you’re landing right atop the featured carousel, which in turns triggers the full-screen ad. Previously, you’d have to click up into the carousel for it to expand.
