Apple TV+ Price Increase Announced

Apple today raised the monthly price of its Apple TV+ streaming service to $12.99 in the U.S., according to 9to5Mac's Benjamin Mayo.

Apple TV+ cost just $4.99 per month in the U.S. when it launched in 2019, but the price has now increased three times. The price went up to $6.99 per month in 2022, and then to $9.99 per month in 2023, and now the service costs $12.99 per month. The latest price increase applies to select other countries too.

An annual subscription to Apple TV+ will continue to cost $99 in the U.S., and Apple One bundle prices are not changing, the report said.

The new price is effective immediately for new Apple TV+ subscribers, but various free trial options remain available. For existing subscribers, the price increase will take effect 30 days after their next renewal date, the report said.

In a statement shared with 9to5Mac, Apple attempted to justify the price increase by noting that it has continued to expand its library of original content, and it touted the value of its Apple One plans with multiple Apple services.

Many other streaming services like Disney+ and Netflix have raised prices in recent years.

And people swapped from Netflix over to this because they didn't increase prices 🤣
All streaming services end up like this, you own nothing and you will pay out of the ass eventually

While i like my ATV+ its not worth 12.99. Lack of programing that i enjoy. You bet this means a price increase for Apple One is coming.

Here is an idea get rid of the Apple Arcade and stop giving me crap as as an excuse to add "value" to your products.

Or better yet, you end up paying nothing, because you cancel it.

I appreciate that Apple has been working to expand their library. However, there still isn't enough content selection (that I would probably watch) for me to pay $99. Maybe that will change down the line but, for now, I will stick with Plex.
