Cancel or pay: New pricing for Apple Music, Apple TV+ and Apple One
For example, Apple Music’s personal plan will increase from $9.99 to $10.99 per month. You can still get a cheaper annual plan at $109 compared to renewing monthly. Meanwhile, the family plan starts at $16.99, which is $2 more than before.
Those who subscribe to Apple TV+ will have to pay more. The monthly service is $2 more expensive or equivalent to the new price of $6.99. Similarly, the annual plan is now $69 per year.

Apple Music artists to benefit from increased subscription fees
Although the proposed price increase is for customers in the US, it is expected that the services will be rolled out to other countries where they are available. At the same time, Apple’s move may disappoint many users and fans. However, artists and songwriters with tracks on the Apple Music platform will benefit from higher payouts.
