Apple TV and Apple One Subscription Prices Increase in the U.S. from August 28
Apple is increasing the prices of its Apple TV streaming service in the U.S., effective August 28. Monthly subscriptions will rise from $12.99 to $14.99, and annual plans from $99 to $119. The Apple One Individual plan will also increase from $19.95 to $21.95 per month. This marks the fourth price hike since Apple TV's 2019 launch, with the current monthly cost now three times the original $4.99. Apple attributes the increases to expanded original programming and sports rights amid broader industry price adjustments.
