Apple Raises Apple Music and Apple One Subscription Prices in India
Apple has increased subscription prices for Apple Music and Apple One in India, affecting Individual, Family, and Student plans. The Individual Apple Music plan now costs Rs 139 per month, up from Rs 119, while the Family plan rose to Rs 229 from Rs 179. Apple attributes the hikes to rising music licensing costs. These changes follow recent hardware price increases and apply to both new and existing subscribers, with no new features added alongside the price revisions.
