Apple TV + Increases Its Prices

You'll shell out extra if you're a monthly subscriber but not if you pay by the year. The amount is close to 3 bucks more every 30 days, but that's in the U.S. No price hike amount has been confirmed yet for Canada, but you can be sure we're on the list. 

Apple TV+ Hikes Its Monthly Price by 30 Percent

Re: Apple TV + Increases Its Prices

As they say "good luck with that".  These level of price increases are not sustainable - at least in households with seniors on "fixed" incomes.  We have churned "out" of apple TV many times.  On a month-to-month basis, the weakest of the streaming services.  The gaps between new episodes of popular series - biazarre. For example The Morning Show last aired in November of 2023.  Yup we're in 2025 with a possible release date in September (or not).   There's not enough compelling (new) content on the service to justify that pricing.  Tip to the wise, if you subscribe, go through Amazon Prime TV channels, it is much easier to cancel Apple on the Amazon platform.   Cancelling via Apple is a real pain.

Re: Apple TV + Increases Its Prices

One of the only things I’ve ever watched on AppleTV+ is Friday Night Baseball when the Jays are playing. But apparently the broadcast relationship between Apple and the MLB is coming to an end, three years before the contract was supposed to be up.
