  "account": "Apple TV is set to raise its monthly subscription price from $12.99 to $14.99, according to the latest announcement. This price hike follows a similar increase for Apple Music, which raised its base rate by $1 a month just over a month ago. The move is part of Apple's ongoing strategy to increase revenue from its streaming services. The last significant price increase for Apple TV occurred this time last August. As companies continue to push the limits on pricing, it seems customers are bearing the brunt of the costs.",
