What is the story about?
Apple has increased the prices of its Apple Music and Apple One subscription plans in India, with the revised rates now applicable to both new and existing users. The hike affects all major Apple Music plans, including Student, Individual and Family, as well as the Apple One subscription bundles.
The price hike is part of a broader global revision that also affects markets such as the US, the UK and several European countries.
The latest price revision comes less than two years after Apple last raised
Apple Music subscription charges, according to Gadgets360. It also follows recent price hikes across several Apple hardware products, including select iPad, Mac and MacBook models.
Apple Music plans become costlier
Under the revised pricing, the Apple Music Individual plan now costs ₹139 per month, up from ₹119, while the Student plan has increased from ₹59 to ₹69 per month.
The Apple Music Family plan has seen the steepest price increase, with the monthly subscription rising from ₹179 to ₹229. The plan allows up to six family members to share a subscription through Apple's Family Sharing feature, while each user gets a personalised music library, playlists and recommendations.
Apple One subscription prices revised
Apple has also increased the prices of its Apple One bundles, which combine multiple Apple services under a single subscription. The Apple One Individual plan now costs ₹195 per month, up from ₹175, while the Family plan has been revised from ₹365 to ₹445 per month. The Premier plan has seen the steepest increase, rising from ₹499 to ₹595 per month.
Apple One bundles services such as Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and iCloud into a single subscription. Users can also customise their plan by choosing additional iCloud storage and services, with pricing varying accordingly.
Prices revised globally
The price hike is part of a wider global revision by Apple, with subscription costs also increasing in the US and several other markets. In the US, the Apple Music Individual plan now costs $11.99 per month, up from $10.99, while the Family and Student plans have been raised to $19.99 and $6.99, respectively.
The company has also revised the pricing of its Apple One bundles, with the Family plan now priced at $27.95 per month and the Premier tier at $39.95, while the Individual plan remains unchanged at $19.95.
Apple said the increase reflects rising licensing costs. In a statement, the company said, “As a result of rising licensing costs, Apple Music is increasing its subscription price beginning today," reported Deadline.
The latest increase comes after Apple recently raised the prices of several hardware products, including select Mac, MacBook, iPad, Apple TV and HomePod models, citing rising component costs linked to the global memory shortage.
