Apple raises prices of Apple Music, Apple TV Plus in Canada
|
Apple Inc. says it’s raising the cost of its Apple Music and Apple TV Plus services in Canada.
The technology giant confirmed that prices for both services are going up in a range of $1 to $3 per month, depending on the services and the size of the package.
Apple Music’s base price for a single listener account will rise $1 to $10.99 per month, while access to the Apple TV Plus video streaming platform will jump $3 to $8.99 per month.
This is the first time Apple has hiked prices for its streaming services in Canada.
The company says Apple Music’s price increase is tied to higher licensing costs for music.
The decision comes as many of the major streaming platforms look for ways to boost revenues amid inflation and the rising costs of film and TV production.
Similar price increases are being rolled out in other markets where Apple has a presence, including the United States.
Meanwhile, the price of Apple One, a bundled subscription package that adds Apple Arcade and iCloud storage, as well as news and fitness options, will go up in Canada by $3 or more.
A breakdown of the price increases:
Apple Music
- Individual: $10.99 (previously $9.99)
- Family: $16.99 (previously $14.99)
- Annual: $109 (previously $99)
Apple TV Plus
- Monthly: $8.99 (previously $5.99)
- Annual: $89 (previously $59.99)
Apple One
- Individual: $18.95 (previously $15.95)
- Family: $24.95 (previously $20.95)
- Premier: $37.95 (previously $33.95)

Apple's FineWoven cases rumored to get one final release – AppleInsider
Apple has probably stopped production of its poorly-received FineWoven cases for the iPhone, but a new report from the same herald of its death says there is one last set of seasonal colorways coming.
Now according to leaker Kosutami, who first reported the cancellation, there could still be one more push for the FineWoven cases.
Pressed on the rumor, Kosutami emphasizes later in the same thread that if this is correct, it will be for only one more season. It’s now almost eight months since the launch of the iPhone 15 range, so it’s unlikely that there is to be a new mid-cycle color of the iPhone, but perhaps there can yet be new colors for the FineWoven cases.
Consequently, this rumor can at best be said to be possible, especially if Apple had already committed resources to the new colors. However, since FineWoven has proven to be startlingly poor at stain resistance or even just durability, it’s more believable that it is gone for good than it is that FineWoven will get a last hoorah.
