Apple Music and Apple TV + more expensive in Spain and other parts of the world

Bad news for Apple Music and Apple TV+ subscribers. This Monday, taking advantage of the launch of their new operating systems, Cupertino representatives announced that both services will increase in price in different parts of the world, including Europe and the United States. There is currently no movement in Latin American countries.

Eye, Apple Music Voice and Student plans are unaffectedthen you will only see this increase at the individual and family levels. Here’s what the streaming music platform’s updated pricing looks like:

In relation to Apple TV+, the increase is two euros. Therefore, the subscription goes from 4.99 to €6.99 per month.

Clearly, the growth in subscriptions has also impacted the price of Apple One, an offering that includes multiple of the company’s services in a single membership. In this case, the surcharge is 3 euros – the sum of the surcharges of both services – in any of the three available plans:

What is the reason for the increase? As mentioned by those who ran Tim Cook (via 9to5Mac) that Apple Music is due to the fact that the cost of licenses has also increased. In addition, they note that this adjustment will allow musicians and artists to earn more money.

Subscription prices for Apple Music, Apple TV+ and Apple One will go up starting today. The move to Apple Music is due to the rising cost of licenses and, in turn, the fact that artists and songwriters will earn more from streaming their music. We also continue to add innovative features that make Apple Music the best listening experience in the world.

As for the Apple TV+, they justify the growth by saying that today there is more content on the platform than at launch. Of course, in recent years they have been able to speed up the production of original films and TV series, some of which have received quite positive reviews from specialized critics.

We introduced Apple TV+ at a very low price because we started with a few TV shows and movies. Three years later, Apple TV+ offers a wide selection of popular series, feature films, documentaries, and entertainment for kids and the whole family.

It’s worth noting that Apple Music and Apple TV+ updates go live today for new members. If you are already a subscriber, you will see the increase reflected on your next bill.
