JAKARTA - Starting today, Apple is increasing the subscription price for Apple Music, Apple TV+, and Apple One in the United States.

Based on a report from 9to5google, the price for Apple Music's individual package rose by 1 US dollar (IDR 15.5 thousand), while the price for the family package rose by 2 US dollars (IDR 31 thousand).

Then, Apple TV+ rose 2 US dollars (IDR 31 thousand), and Apple One also rose by about 3 US dollars per month or around 46 thousand.

Apple said that the increase in subscription prices was due to an increase in licensing fees. Artists and songwriters will earn more per stream, Apple added.

Regarding Apple TV+, the tech giant said that the price increase reflects a growing catalog of original TV shows and movies.

"Apple Music, Apple TV+, and Apple One subscription prices will go up starting today. The change to Apple Music is due to increased licensing fees, and in turn, artists and songwriters will get more for streaming their music," an Apple spokesperson said to 9to5google.

An Apple spokesperson added that they will continue to add new innovative features that will make Apple Music the best listening platform in the world.

"We're introducing Apple TV+ at a very low price because we started out with just a few shows and movies," he explained.

But three years later, Apple TV+ is home to a vast selection of widely acclaimed award-winning series, feature films, documentaries, and children's and family entertainment from the world's most creative storytellers.

That's why Apple decided to increase the price of Apple TV+ subscriptions to users.

The report says, if you are in the International market, you will also see a similar proportional increase in prices taking effect starting today.

Customers will receive notification of a planned price increase 30 days before the service is extended at a higher price.
