By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from TechRadar ·

Apple raised Apple Music individual plans from $10.99 to $11.99 per month, and Apple One bundles by $2-$3. The company attributed the increases to rising licensing costs for the first time in four years. Existing subscribers will see the new rates after their next billing cycle.
