As a fatty trying to lose this pudge, Apple fitness is so worth it. It’s the only thing that has motivated me to get my butt up and work. Not happy about price increases. Who would be? but I’m on the family plan and I use all these services literally everyday. It couldn’t be more worth the price I’m paying
 
That's quite a huge jump especially when Apple TV+ is so limited in its content compared to other similarly-priced streaming services. Although Apple content is stellar IMO, I'm not sure I would be willing to pay $10/mo for it. I rotate my streaming services, anyway, so the occasional $10 for a month to catch up, or 3 free months every time I buy something from Apple, will do it for me.
 
I use CarPlay every day and like the integration, not to mention no ads. Sirius XM sounds terrible compared to Apple Music. If Apple Music goes up too much for my liking, I will buy the songs I want off my large playlist and shuffle the list, along with listening to my Audible library.
 
So you have a deep understanding of the costs involved in these services? Sounds like a speculation based opinion or judgement. It IS possible that in order to maintain the same profit as last year they needed to raise the prices that amount. We have NO idea what is going on behind the scenes and what cost increases Apple is having to adjust for. It is of course possible they just are trying to see just how high they can go until losing subscribers. I for one have just adjusted down on my services.

Everybody is asking "Why is Apple" but nobody is asking "How is Apple."

I had no idea Apple is so wanting for money. All that suffering.

what a mess. trying to cancel everything other than on or two things.......leads you down all sorts or dead ends.
 
Let's see here, we've got Apple Arcade, the games service for people who are overwhelmed by actual games, Apple News, where more space is taken up on screen by advertising than actual news, and Apple TV+, the streaming channel that brings you Ted Lasso, Ted Lasso, Charlie Brown, Ted Lasso, Ted Lasso, and oh yeah, like 70 other TV shows that no one talks about.

These are the best services they've ever created with an Apple logo on them, hands down.
IDK man, some of their other TV shows are phenomenal, such as Severance and Silo.
 
I wonder if Apple Music is still available as yearly subscription in Switzerland. Can't see any price information and I currently use One Premier...anyone knows if yes? I'm calculating if it makes sense to get rid of TV+ and Arcade. But I will keep Apple Music, iCloud 2TB and Fitness+.
 
I just clicked on the same article in Apple News. No ads for me either
Strange… i’m not seeing ads now either, on any article that i tried. But i have definitely seen those big picture ads in the past.
I just updated ios to 17.1 this evening, maybe thats got something to do with it
 
Been with Apple Music since its inception. Recently went to yearly plan to save a month’s payment. The rest is garbage, although TV+ is provided free from Verizon so unless they cancel it I will stay. A great music alternative is iHeart radio.
 
Wish we could vote with our wallets but I highly doubt Apple will lose 30% of their subscribers
