Apple raises prices across services and some iPhone models
Apple has pushed through another round of price increases. Following a global uplift for all Mac and iPad models last month, the company announced additional rises on Friday that affect its subscription services and certain iPhone models.
What’s affected
– Apple Music and Apple One: prices have been increased globally.
– iCloud+: select paid iCloud+ plans saw price hikes in eight countries (Apple did not specify which countries).
– iPhone models: some iPhone models have increased in price in Japan only.
– United States: the latest changes on Friday applied only to Apple Music and Apple One; iCloud+ plans and iPhone pricing were not changed in the U.S. at this time.
Context
These changes extend a broader pricing strategy that now touches both hardware and services. Apple Music is the company’s streaming-music service; Apple One bundles multiple Apple services (including Apple Music and iCloud+) into a single subscription tier; and iCloud+ refers to Apple’s paid cloud-storage plans.
What it means for users
Subscribers can expect higher monthly bills, particularly those on Apple One bundles or paid iCloud+ tiers. iPhone owners outside Japan are not affected by device price increases beyond the earlier Mac and iPad adjustments. Because price changes vary by territory and offer type, customers should check local pricing pages or their account billing to see the exact impact.
