I had the Premier tier for Apple One, but never really used News, Fitness, or Arcade much, and definitely never watched anything on AppleTV+. So just keeping drive space and Apple Music saves me $10. Maybe it's a small amount, but all this subscription crap adds up.
Got a tip for us?

Apple's able to keep product prices constant because NAND/memory prices have been on the decline for the past couple years now. So even if other costs (e.g. TSMC chip manufacturing) go up, they make up the difference by not passing on the savings from decline NAND/memory chip prices.
SSD Upgraders Take Note, Analysts Expect up to 13% Price Drop During Q3
This is on top of the previous quarter's up to 20% decline.
Memory chip prices expected to remain in freefall through the first half of 2023
In the trailing three-month period (October-December 2022), DRAM and NAND flash prices dipped 23 percent and 28 percent, TrendForce said.

That has allowed Apple to grow their margins. Their overall gross margins have gone from upper 30 percentage range to low-to-mid 40 percentage range.

Quitting Netflix and Apple One Premiere in the same week feels.... good. haha.
Thanks. Just put reminder to cancel my Apple TV+ before it renews again. Was barely justifying the $6.99 given the catalog but at $9.99 LOL 😂
Anyone know what happens when cancelling Apple One with iCloud storage. 4 of the 6 of our family sharing group is using over the free 5gb of storage. Planning on everyone in the family getting own iCloud plan and maybe just getting rid of the family sharing because there would be nothing to share. Would we lose data saved in iCloud if a day or 2 passes of not having an iCloud storage plan??
Planning to disband the family group because only 1 of the 6 of us wants Apple Music, and that person wants to do the yearly plan and see no option of doing it when having a family set up.

Dumped Apple one premium for 2tb plans and Apple Music. Didn’t really use any of the other things anyway.
I'll be cancelling too after this cycle of renewal. Apparently my renewal which is in a few days doesn't indicate an increase, but I think the increase will come after this. Definitely cancelling. My News+ subscription went from 9.99 to 12.99; that's a 30% increase. WTH!
Let's forget about everything that developers get for free, plus a platform to make millions! That has no value at all. /s
Yah, I wonder how many people that were hung over accidentally wiped their *** with their phone? 🤣💩
Cancel and free yourself.... go out and spend the few dollars you'll be saving each month on a delicious cup of coffee...
That makes no sense. What Spotify charges is not material to what Apple will be charging very soon.
You're so right and I had even forgotten that the ad thing is really an issue when thinking about the outrageous price increase! Given that not only are there ads everywhere but also they are huge, this 30% increase in price is really unreasonable. Definitely cancelling.

So apparently as per comments on this article, nobody is subscribing to anything anymore. And it doesn’t matter what site or what article. Disney plus increase? “I’m unsubscribing! That’ll show them”. Netflix? “Unsubscribing!” Hulu? Same crap. We going back to bunny ears antennas or what?
I’ve stopped being shocked at price increases and just been more focused on what I want. Have I not watched Netflix in a couple months? Suspend that. Am I watching a lot of Hulu? Cool. Who cares if there’s a price increase when I watch it all the time. I’m getting my value out of it.

They're trying to offset poor sales of hardware.
Apple today announced significant price hikes for several of its services, including Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and Apple News+. Because of the higher individual prices, the cost of the Apple One bundles have also increased.
In the U.S., Apple TV+ is now $9.99 per month, up from $6.99 per month. Apple Arcade+ is up $2 at $6.99, and Apple News+ is now priced at $12.99 per month, up from $9.99 per month. Apple One Individual and Family are $3 more expensive, while Premier is $5 more. Prices are going up in most countries where Apple services are available.
If you're unhappy with the new price points for Apple's services, it's quick and easy to cancel. Here's how on an iPhone or iPad:
After your subscription is canceled, your services will continue to be accessible until your next billing date. So if you paid for a year of Apple TV+, for example, it will be available until what you've paid for expires. Apple One can only be purchased on a monthly basis, so you'll have a month at most before access runs out.
- Open up the Settings app.
- Tap on your profile picture.
- Tap on Subscriptions.
- If you have Apple One, tap on "Cancel All Services" to end your subscription for every service. If you want to pick and choose certain ones to keep, tap on "Choose Individual Services."
- If you have individual subscriptions, tap on one of the subscriptions and choose the "Cancel Subscription" option.
- Tap on "Confirm" to go through with the cancelation.
If you need to cancel your subscription on your Mac, the process is similar. Open the System Settings app, click on your profile picture, select Media & Purchases, and choose "Manage" under the Subscriptions option. From there, you can follow the same steps listed above.
Apple's increased prices start today for new subscribers, but Apple is offering existing subscribers a 30-day grace period. After that 30 days, existing subscribers will see the new prices on their next renewal date. Apple is likely to send out emails ahead of the price hikes.

Big mistake in my opinion, but time will tell......
Huh? Being upset about this amount of increase is not related to price increases outside the Apple ecosystem. I haven't seen my NYT subscription raise in years. It's still at 10.99/month.
I have a totally different opinion 😊
Seriously this. We get enough garbage news shoved in our faces from every corner of the internet, but people are actually PAYING for it?! Never understood Apple News+
For All Mankind was pretty good but wasn’t enough to get me to renew my subscription after the 3 month trial.
I must say, torrents are going to be making a huge comeback with a ridiculous amount of people that tried to do better with things like TV+ or even Music, which will obviously have a price hike soon as well.
As for TV+, it just goes with the price hikes from all the other streaming services, so yes, torrents will be back with an even bigger vengence.
Stupid companies shooting themselves in the foot.
Goodbye to all of my Apple services.
Napster 2.0 as well?
Remember you are the product being sold, not the content. They need you to keep coughing up cash and consuming said content in order to keep shareholders happy, who are the ultimate customer. There's no 'deep understanding' required. It's as simple as companies taking the pi$$ most of the time.
I cancelled Apple One Premier and will only keep the 2TB iCloud+ plan moving forward. Just can't justify the cost based on my usage of the other features anymore.
If they are going to raise prices, they need to increase iCloud storage. 50GB for individuals and 200GB for families is a joke. News+ and Apple Arcade are not worth the prices charged.
