Dear lord, $9.99 for ATV+?
Hell no! Took issue with it even for $6.99 for what it offered
The times are really... great, aren't they?

That’s me cancelling. If they’re going to hike the price they should at least increase the storage on the family plan. Crazy. I’m done.
The Go5G+ and Next are included. Lower plans are 12 and 6 month
I dont think thats right. You get the option to add 2TB of iCloud for 9.99 so that would put you at around 35.94, just round it up to 36 dollars. Apple One Premier is 37.95. Damed if you do damed if you dont basically.
It is, but the Family One plan already includes the iCloud+ at 200GB which is valued at $2.99. So I thought it was just $7 more to upgrade to 2TB.
I have Apple One Premier because I use the 2TB iCloud storage, Fitness+, TV+, and Music. The cost is still worth it to me, but I do wish they’d provide a storage bump with the increased cost. Why not offer 4TB for Apple One Premier subscribers and charge $39.99? Oh well.
I didn’t consider any of those worth it to me at the original price.
More reasons for me to continue to give Apple less money.
The entire bug-riddled user experience has gone downhill in dramatic fashion over the last 5 years as prices have steadily climbed. Tim is trolling at this point. If there was anywhere else to go, I’d leave, and that’s a sad, sad state of affairs from where Steve left Apple.
Never forget your dollar vote; it is certainly hard to leave the ecosystem altogether in the current landscape, but you don’t have to give Apple any more money than you have to. This is the kind of Apple product that’s easy to say no to.

What am I getting for my extra £5 a month for Apple One?
Struggling here. Help me out please.

Same here. It might be well to adjust our Apple One now.
If you’re going to miss apple news+ then another user on here (i cant remember their name now) mentioned that you can use pressreader with a library card number and read all the newspapers and magazines for free. It has more titles than news+, it’s totally legit and it’s free forever - ive been doing it for a couple of months already. Their app is way better than news+ as well. The only tiny bit of hassle is having to join your local library

That's a price increase above what I arleady wasn't paying Apple.
I know, sounds a bit too Debbie Downer, but the reality of things is that Netflix is the only streaming service that is profitable still.
Parmount+ (CBS) might be for sale, Disney/ABC already is for sale (at least in part), and Comcast/NBC is losing a fortune in the cable TV biz now too and with Peacock.
Yep, linear TV is still making the most profit. If Steve Jobs were still alive, I'd bet Apple would own Disney/ABC right now.

oh yeah. And the spacing / size of them is so obnoxious. They're worse than just reading your news online.
Hook everyone in with low prices then raise them every year. Seems to be the strategy across the board for any subscription service. Now is the time for cable/satellite companies to undercut them and/or partner with them if they want to see a resurgence. People are getting fed up.
EDIT: actually @azentropy, the 2TB is/has been $9.99, so that's $35.98 compared to $37.95 for Premier. So I might as well stick with it for that extra $2. I can probably read $2 worth of Apple News articles in a month.
