Of course they know that. Apple Pay and Apple Cash give them valuable insight.

The only Apple subscription I have is iCloud storage, and that's the way it's going to stay.
Their original content is very mid and very few. They have like 1-2 truly standout, great shows. And with no additional licensed library, it has to be the worst value for money as far as streaming services go. It's okay as part of Apple One, I guess.
I'm a little late to the game and just discovered Severance. Strange Planet was fun. Lessons in Chemistry is great.
I'll cancel once Lessons in Chemistry is done, then subscribe again in 2025 for Severance season 2. Until it's over.
But I'm unusual: I've never subscribed to cable, so I'm not like most people.

Ugh, screw subscription services. I’m going back to buying movies/tv shows on iTunes…
You’re telling me the world’s richest company needs to increase these service's’ prices by 30-40%?![]()
Apple is increasing the prices of some of its subscription-based services, including Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and Apple News+, in the U.S. and many other countries around the world. The higher prices are shown on Apple's website.

The price changes in the U.S. are as follows:
Apple One bundle prices are also increasing as a result:
- Apple TV+: $6.99 per month → $9.99 per month
- Apple Arcade: $4.99 per month → $6.99 per month
- Apple News+: $9.99 per month → $12.99 per month
In the U.S., these are the first-ever price increases for Apple Arcade and Apple News+ since the services launched in November 2019, while Apple TV+ last saw a price increase in October 2022. Apple should send out emails notifying subscribers of the price changes over time.
- Individual: $16.95 per month → $19.95 per month
- Family: $22.95 per month → $25.95 per month
- Premier: $32.95 per month → $37.95 per month
There are no price increases for Apple Music and Apple Fitness+ today.

Hardware is one thing, but these price increases in most of the subscription categories are getting out of hand.
The only services that matter the most at this point is iCloud and Apple Music. Arcade is ideal for teens and that bracket, Apple TV+ is really something you would have active for 3 months out of the year to get the most bang for buck, and who even buys News+? And I say all this as a Software Developer!
Apple Music was fun while it lasted, but once you're out of your 20's, you don't listen to all that much new music. For most people, it's better to just buy the music you've always loved.
Yikes, it'd be better if we could choose our specific services on the lower tiers of the bundle.![]()

Omg I expected 1 dollar more but this is COURAGE and yet … they (studios in general) cannot pay their actors properly (and don’t give me this A List as a reference BS).
Thankfully I never have to pay for TV+, there is always a free trial somewhere

Yikes! Bumping down to either just Apple Music and iCloud. Or the Family Plan and upgrade it to 2TB.
Premier was a great bundle at $30 but family just doesn’t use the other services enough to justify that price anymore.

I have been on TV+ for years but I don’t use it nearly enough to pay $10 for it. 5 or 6 sure but not 10. Cancelled.
In these difficult times, I’m sure we’re all grateful that we all received 25% pay rises this year.
I have Apple One Premier... You mean to tell me I'm gonna have to fork over $5 extra per month? That's more than a 4 for $4 at Wendy's.
Apple Music has everything. Example the recent five CD box set of the Beatles Revolver is currently available on Amazon for $100, included on Apple Music. Granted you don't get the box...
