Apple<\/a> has increased the subscription price of Apple Music in the U.S., but that’s not where the price hikes end. <\/p>\n

An Apple Music Individual plan now costs $11.99 per month, up from $10.99. Student plans now cost $6.99, up from $5.99. And if you want to get a Family plan, that’ll be $19.99, up from $16.99. <\/p>\n

Europeans get the exact same numbers, only in euros: Individual plans are now \u20ac11.99, Student plans are \u20ac6.99, and a Family plan is \u20ac19.99. In the UK, the Individual plan now costs \u00a311.99, while the Family plan is \u00a319.99.<\/p>\n

New subscribers will have to pay the new prices right away; existing subscribers will get a notification soon and will be billed the new prices at their next billing cycle.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Music Business Worldwide<\/a>, Apple said the price hikes are a result of “rising licensing costs.”<\/p>\n

Apple One plans have also gotten pricier. While the basic plan still has the same price, the Family plan now costs $27.95 (up from $25.95), while the Premier plan costs $39.95 (up from $37.95). <\/p>\n

There’s more bad news for consumers, although it’s scattered throughout different markets. As MacRumors noticed<\/a>, iPhone prices have gone up roughly 8-10 percent in Japan, and iCloud+ prices<\/a> have gone up quite a bit (from 11 to 55 percent) in 8 countries: Nigeria, Turkey, Vietnam, Japan, Egypt, New Zealand, the Philippines, and Indonesia. <\/p>\n

The news comes about a month after Apple increased the prices<\/a> of numerous products in its lineup, mostly due to the memory chip supply crunch. <\/p>\n
