Apple TV just got more expensive, again

Apple TV's monthly subscription price has increased to $14.99, up from $12.99. The annual plan has risen from $99 to $199 for US users. This marks the fourth price hike for Apple TV in a short period, following its initial launch at a much lower introductory rate of $4.99. Competitors like YouTube Premium, Netflix, Hulu, and Paramount+ have also raised their subscription fees recently.

The price hike for Apple TV also affects users who bundle the service with other Apple offerings, increasing the overall cost by $2 to $21.95. This price rise is primarily due to Apple's ongoing investment in high-quality original productions and content, including critically acclaimed shows like Ted Lasso and films such as F1. Additionally, Apple has acquired global streaming rights for the series Small Prophets, which has earned a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
