World needs a big reset so we can bring back focus on humanity issues rather than dealing with overpriced apple products and services. Appletv isn’t even worth the FREE trial let alone an increased subscription price.

I just canceled my Apple One subscription, I only need Music and storage anyway.
I'd like to know if student pricing is changing (currently Music and TV for $6.99/m).
Apple Arcade was, or at least used to be a bargain at $4.99 but isn't worth more than that at all to anyone.

Yes, because Apple will pay 40% more for writers and actors, please...
As I calculate with another 600+ month on this earth, having to spend $3 more per month for anything means $1,800 additionally over 600 months. So in my calculation this price increase alone (which will not be the last) has a cost of $1,800 over 600 months.
When I first started my career, I had a manager that used to tell everyone to vote with their feet. Quite similar.
That guy told it like it was. 😄
Only Apple service I subscribe to is Fitness and it looks like it's staying the same price for now. Little to nothing else is worth it, especially News.
C-Suite could take less for themselves to balance it out, or there could be slightly less profit, but still a profit. Funny how those are never mentioned as options.

The family plan on Apple One a good deal. The family does not need to reside in the same house. Lots of folks not impressed with the News. I actually enjoy it. I call what I do with the Apple News, Drive by News. I see good articles about science, space, everyday life etc. I really get excited by what this person is wearing, eating at, going out with etc /s 🤣. Not just political everyday depressing news. To each his own. Arcade getting much better. As noted Apple TV+ on its own, better not a good value at the new price. Will stick with Apple One for now.
Aw, darn. And I was just thinking of subscribing to Arcade!
Big time - I just cancelled my Premier account and went back to the iCloud+ 2TB and Apple Music Family plan. Told the family, they are in agreement.
That's only if they don't increase it again in a year or two as well!
Why stop there? Go big or go home. Let’s raise Apple One+ to $149 per month. TV+ at $39 per month, etc. Courage!!
I'm on their go5gplus and have had it since I signed up. I don't see anythign about it being 12 months but definitely will have to check. I really like Severance, Silo, Shrinking (lots of s's lol) and a few others but not enough to keep it when those shows are between seasons.
They can’t
They’ve slated Netflix Spotify Disney Hulu for the same thing over the few months
Now apple does it the pain and tears are flowing 😂😂
TV+ at $5/mo was an easy, why not...at $7 it was, well, they have good shows, not many but good... now at $10/mo...may not be worth it to keep anymore.
I know Netflix raised their prices and I'll cancel at the end of my year buy-in.
***I wish my Pay increased as often as everything else has

I calculate everything in head by the yearly price regardless of what it is, but I like your idea as well!
I have a little less than 500 months, if I live to 90.
I mean sure that could happen. But that never gets negotiated when the contracts are being worked out. That is the only place that something like that could happen. Instead we hear how the union is making things better for everyone, but the consumer that will pay for the crazy raises.
I could understand that the use of AI needed to have some rules around it. I could even semi understand the writers, I do not however understand the actors strike. It is just millionaires fighting with millionaires and we the consumer are going to pay the price, as always.
I tried Apple News a few times. I hate it. It serves you whatever it wants to and you have very little control over what that is. Who even wants that?
Except drugs are addictive or provide much pleasure to keep one coming back for more. Apple One does not do that for anyone. Custom bundles are way more expensive which is why everyone has been paying for stuff they don't use. Even the stuff they do use and love ... it is not drug-level love and no one is hooked except maybe on storage and tunes.
