The company announced a new monthly fee for its streaming service, marking the latest adjustment to its pricing structure. 9to5Mac’s focus on both services suggests a broader pricing strategy, while The Verge and Deadline concentrate solely on the Apple TV tier. The Verge added that the $14.99 charge follows the fourth increase in as many years, while The Hollywood Reporter linked the move to broader streaming inflation pressures.

Variety specified that the revised rate takes effect immediately, and Deadline reiterated the $14.99 monthly cost for U.S. subscribers, confirming the uniform price point across the reports. As of the latest reports, Apple TV now costs $14.99 per month for U.S. customers, confirming the price change across the outlets that covered it.

No additional details on how the Apple One bundle price shifts beyond the 9to5Mac notice have emerged, leaving the broader subscription impact unspecified. Consumers can expect the same fee on future billing cycles unless further revisions are announced.
