Your Playlist Just Got Pricier: Apple Music and Apple One Hike Monthly Rates
Apple has officially announced a price increase for its Apple Music and Apple One subscription plans in the United States and several other international markets. The standard individual Apple Music plan is moving from $10.99 to $11.99 per month, while family plans and the Apple One bundles are also seeing proportional increases. The company cited rising licensing costs for music creators as the primary driver behind this decision, noting that the hike allows for better payouts to artists and songwriters while maintaining the platform's extensive library and features.
