The price adjustment affects not only individual plans but also Family and Student subscriptions and several Apple One bundles. This marks the first time Apple has raised Apple Music prices since October 2022, nearly four years ago.

The largest increase is observed in the Apple Music Family plan, which has risen to $19.99 per month from $16.99. The Student plan has also increased by $1, now costing $6.99 per month.

Apple has also updated pricing for its Apple One bundles. While the Individual plan remains unchanged, the Family tier now costs $27.95 per month, a $2 increase, and the Premier plan rises to $39.95. Similar adjustments have been reported in Brazil.

According to Apple, the latest price hike is a result of increased licensing costs, which means higher payments to music labels and rights holders.
