Apple quietly dropped some bad news for music fans at the end of the week: Apple Music is getting more expensive. As of today, the company is raising prices on its popular music streaming service, but not necessarily for all subscribers: People on one particular type of plan will be able to keep their old rate.
As you can see from Apple Music's official promo site, an individual plan is now $11.99 per month, up $1 from $10.99 per month. (Apple still offers one month free for new subscribers.) Student plans get the same $1 increase, bringing the total to $6.99 from $5.99. The hike on family plans is even pricier: They now cost $19.99 per month, up $3 from $16.99 per month. If you get Apple Music from an Apple One subscription, you might be spared from the price increases, however. Individual Apple One plans are still $19.95. However, all other Apple One subscriptions are going up, including family plans, which now cost $27.95, up $2 from $25.95, and the "Premier" Apple One plan, up to $39.95 from $37.95.
What was Apple's excuse for the increases? It shared a statement with Music Business Worldwide that blamed higher costs: “As a result of rising licensing costs, Apple Music is increasing its subscription price beginning today."
How to get a longer Apple Music free trial
Price increases are always frustrating, but Apple Music does offer free trials. If you're a new subscriber, you can try it out for a month before having to pay, but don't redeem that if you plan to buy a new Apple device soon. Apple has a list of eligible devices that earn you a three-month free trial of Apple Music, including:
iPhone
iPad
Apple Watch
Mac
Apple TV
AirPods
AirPods Pro
AirPods Max
Beats Headphones and Speakers
HomePod and HomePod mini
