Apple Inc. has announced price increases for its AppleTV+ streaming and Arcade gaming services, as well as its bundled Apple One subscription that encompasses streaming, music, and other offerings. Here are the new pricing details:
Arcade will now be priced at $6.99, up from the previous $4.99; AppleTV+ will cost $9.99, increased from $6.99; Apple News+ is set to be $12.99, up from $9.99; Apple One will see an increase to $19.95 from $16.95 per month for the individual plan and to $25.95 from $22.95 for the family plan. Apple One combines subscriptions for Apple Music, TV, Arcade, and 200 gigabytes of iCloud storage.
These price adjustments will impact both the U.S. and select international markets. Existing subscribers will experience these changes 30 days later, coinciding with their next renewal date. Apple justifies these increases by expressing its commitment to delivering exceptional experiences to customers, constantly enhancing its services with high-quality entertainment, content, and innovative features.
Notably, other streaming services have also been raising their prices, particularly for ad-free subscription tiers. Netflix Inc., for instance, recently announced a $2 price hike for its priciest streaming plan, reaching $23 per month in the U.S., and a $2 increase for its ad-free streaming plan at $12 per month. However, the $15.50 per month price for Netflix’s most popular streaming option will remain unchanged, as will a $7 monthly plan that includes occasional advertisements.
Additionally, The Walt Disney Co. has raised the monthly cost of its ad-free Disney+ service to $13.99, marking an approximately 27% increase, while the cost of ad-free Hulu has gone up by 20% to $17.99.
