Understandable. They’re barely scraping by as a company. Luckily there are no cost of living pressures on us all as consumers, so we’re happy to support excess profiteering.

I’d be upset… except I don’t see any value to those services so I’m not subscribed in the first place.
Individually they're not that great but where I live family Apple One is priced barely above the price of 2 individual Apple Music subscriptions. You get some iCloud storage so that it is actually usable, then Apple TV+ which is pretty ok. Apple Arcade is the most underrated service ever - it unfucked mobile gaming by enforcing no IAPs.
I think it’s rated just where it belongs. The only game I’ve played on it that didn’t feel like a lame mobile game was Slay the Spire.
Wow. They had their finger on the trigger waiting for someone else to go first and Netflix obliged.
So happy that capitalism means the competition will drive down prices.
On the up side, Apple One price increases are minimal if you subscribe to more than one service, and it’s a better value now. This is Apple’s first price bump for these services ever
These services were always a bad deal on their own. The Apple One subscription is what I imagine most people use.
There was an increase in the Apple One subscription price last December.
AppleTV+ got a price increase a year ago, yesterday.
Apple bumped up Premier to 33 bucks up from 30 like a year ago.
Thanks for the heads up, I just canceled because I barely use TV+ anyway.
