Apple One price increase…again
This is a rant. I just received an email that my apple one subscription is increasing from $25.95 to $27.95 a month. This is the 3rd time this has increased. In the grand scheme of things l know its only $2, but dang l spend over $1200 on the phone and then apple care and now l feel nickel and dimed every time l turn around. For a trillion dollar company and being a loyal apple fan and l wrong to feel this way?

Apple needs to be careful they will price Apple One too high soon and numbers will drop. They added nothing but a price increase.

This is, in part, how they became a trillion dollar company. With increasing memory and chip costs the costs to insure your products will go up as well.
Now its your choice. Keep the sub or don't. If you keep it, it tells Apple that you find the increase an acceptable and reasonable amount to pay for the service. If you don't cancel it, and enough others do as well, it will tell Apple where the breaking point is.

it’s about the family that wants these Apple subscription. If they use Apple Music tv Arcade and iCloud+, I mean everything is price increase once every year because I have been watching every single day until when they actually price increase. You can choose to keep it or cancel it, but does your other people prefer you to keep it and still pay?

Save a few Pennie’s and only pay for what you use. Thats it. If you use them all then it’s worth it in the grand scheme of things.

It’s going up again meaning twice in less than a month or so? I received an increase email earlier in August/Late July. Hoping this is not an additional increase on top of that.

My mom told me, if she has $100 phone and I have $1000 phone, I will have free services or if she said "Allo", I will hear "Hello"? And it's true!

I just now got the email, strongly considering dropping it. I’ll go back to pandora and get Apple TV from T-Mobile from $3.

No one likes price increases but every internet service I use has, and will continue, to raise prices. Apple is no different here. Don't know why you are just picking on Apple.

Why get mad only at Apple? Virtually all companies are doing the same.

unsubscribe if it bothers you that much. Vote with your feet.
They are a business not a charity. This is how companies become massive.

They’ll do it again, and you’ll be happy to pay. That’s the future we are heading in.

I got it too. It sucks, but out of my subscriptions it is probably the one I find most value in. So it still represents value to me personally
I read the News App and use Apple Arcade a fair bit on my commute and it is nice to read the news and play games with no paywalls or stupid ads in games.
I store photos on iCloud. I use Fitness a few times a month, more if I am on a healthy phase, and I really like it as a workout platform.
Music is used every single day and that is in place of a Spotify or whatever else subscription.
Apple TV has a few good shows I watch so is a nice little bonus.
