In the United States, the individual Apple Music plan now costs $11.99, up from $10.99, while the family plan jumped from $16.99 to $19.99. Students see a smaller increase, with their monthly rate moving from $5.99 to $6.99. Apple attributes these changes to rising licensing costs. Similar price hikes have been reported across the UK and Europe, with further international markets expected to follow suit.
Beyond standalone music subscriptions, the cost of Apple One bundles has also crept upward. The Family plan is now $27.95 per month, and the Premier tier sits at $39.95, reflecting a $2 increase for both options. These adjustments follow a broader industry trend of rising digital service costs, including recent price hikes from Spotify. Apple has additionally raised rates for AppleCare Plus protection plans covering Macs and iPads, signaling a comprehensive move to increase revenue across its services division.
