“The change to Apple Music is due to an increase in licensing costs, and in turn, artists and songwriters will earn more for the streaming of their music,” the company tells 9to5Mac. Meanwhile, Apple TV+ is going up in price due to the company bolstering its video-streaming service with more content.
The price increase comes after rival Disney announced it's increasing the cost for its own video subscription service Disney+ from $7.99 to $10.99 per month in December. Hulu also just got a price increase. Back in January, Netflix also hiked up the prices for its own service.
Meanwhile, Apple’s main competition in online music, Spotify, continues to keep its Premium plan at $9.99 per month for individual users.
