Welp now we know how Apple is gonna hit its next quarterly shareholder expectation…
Bye Apple One, hello only iCloud Storage and Apple Music. Arcade and TV isn't worth it based on the content offered.
I didn't want any of these before, and I want them even less now.
Scarily Fast!
This ofcourse refers to the speed at which they will deplete you bank account from 2024 onwards
Im surprised they haven't increased the price of adapters and cables already. I bet Tims got that on his desk already...

I love it when companies remind me to cancel subscriptions. I've been saving a lot of money in 2023 without even noticing any missing content. Thanks Apple!
finally ! i was desperate to see price improvements , it's about time we get some upgrades. heck, last increase was a year ago if i recall correctly.
yearly upgrades aren't enough nowadays, we really need biannual upgrades, at the very least . if apple doesn't catch up they'll lose me as a customer

I'm curious as well to know how much does Apple charge the yearly subscription now.
I like Apple Arcade. There were a couple of games on there that I thoroughly enjoyed but at this price point, I feel like I'd rather outright buy the few games I want to play on my iPad/Mac :/

Eddy Cue's giant mansion isn't going to pay for itself.
How did you do this? I can see that Music has two separate entries, one for family and one for individuals. iCloud only has one entry. I want to make sure that my family still has access to the storage before I switch.
Agree I left Cable to save money but now it is crazy with all the cost for different streaming services.
I hope everyone is happy they supported the recent strikes. Here are the results!
The difference is that most of us assumed that these Apple services were loss leaders for hardware purchases. Apple could afford to lose money, or make not as much money on them. Whereas Netflix’s entire business depends on a single product.
Raising Apple TV+ sub price to $9.99 leaves room for Apple to introduce a $6.99/mo TV+ with Ads plan that was rumored last year. Price it right where Netflix Standard with Ads is ($6.99/mo) and $1 less than the ad supported Disney+ Basic at $7.99/mo.
EDIT: After thinking about it some more, Apple could under cut everyone and offer an ad-supported plan for $4.99, the original TV+ price.

Yeah, Apple News felt expensive to me already. This feels egregious for the value you get out of it.
The algorith is very easy to understand:
x = get_subscribers_numbers
subscription_price = get_subscription_price
y = x
while y >= x:
--------- subscription_price += 3$
--------- wait_some_time_to_see_mass_of_idiots_we_dont_give_a_sxxx_reaction
--------- y = get_subscribers_numbers
x = get_subscribers_numbers
subscription_price = get_subscription_price
y = x
while y >= x:
--------- subscription_price += 3$
--------- wait_some_time_to_see_mass_of_idiots_we_dont_give_a_sxxx_reaction
--------- y = get_subscribers_numbers
