By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Apple is increasing the prices for its Apple Music and Apple One subscription services for the first time in years, citing rising licensing costs as the primary reason. Individual Apple Music plans will now cost $12 per month, up from $11, while Family plans will increase from $17 to $20 per month. The Apple One bundle also sees price hikes, with Family and Premium tiers now costing $28 and $40 per month, respectively, though the Individual Apple One plan remains unchanged at $20 per month. AI
