\n\tApple<\/a> is raising prices for its music streaming service, Apple Music<\/a>, for subscribers in the U.S. and other countries.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe individual plan for Apple Music will now cost $11.99 a month, up from $10.99.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAs a result of rising licensing costs, Apple Music is increasing its subscription price beginning today,\u201d Apple said in a statement as the reason for the price increase.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe family plan for Apple Music is now $19.99, up from $16.99, while the student plan is $6.99, up from $5.99.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn tandem, Apple also increased a number of tiers of its Apple One bundles, which include Apple Music.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe individual plan is unchanged, and subscribers will continue to pay $19.95 a month. The price increase starts with the Family tier, now $27.95 (up from $25.95), and the Premier plan, now $39.95 (up from $37.95).<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is the first price increase for Apple Music since October 2022<\/a>, when the individual plan rose by $1 from $9.99.<\/p>\n

\n\tApple Music\u2019s monthly subscription price increase follows Spotify\u2019s price increase earlier this year. Spotify raised the price of its Premium subscription from $11.99 to $12.99, so Apple\u2019s offering is still cheaper at this rate.<\/p>\n

\n\tSubscription services are raised from time to time, and in August 2025 Apple increased the price of Apple TV to $12.99, up from $9.99. Prior to that, Apple TV\u2019s last subscription increase occurred in October 2023, when the service rose by $3. This price increase didn\u2019t affect Apple One prices, which bundle services such as Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, iCloud+, Apple Fitness+, and Apple News+ depending on the tier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple is raising prices for its music streaming service, Apple Music, for subscribers in the U.S. and other…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":555296,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[936,16043,61,60,80],"class_list":["post-555295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-apple","tag-apple-music","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=555295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555295\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/555296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=555295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=555295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=555295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
