0 • Taylor Kerns / Android Authority co/AAGooglePreferredSource"> Add us as preferred source TL DR Verizon has confirmed it will increase the prices of some Apple Music-related perks starting September 1. Some legacy plans may be exempt from the price bumps, with the company’s support page confirming a $10. 99/month cost for some individual plans. This comes on the heels of Apple Music raising the prices of its Individual, Student, and Family plans in July.
Practical impact for readers
Apple Music recently bumped the prices of its Student and Individual plans by $1/month, while the Family plan witnessed a $3/month increase. This marked the first price hike for the streaming service in nearly four years. Now, in a move that should come as no surprise to anyone, Verizon has announced a price hike for its Apple Music perk.
Details worth verifying
A statement on Verizon’s support page for Apple Music details the increased perk rates that will go into effect on September 1.
Who should act or wait
Meanwhile, eligible users can also claim Verizon’s “Apple Music on us” with certain legacy/grandfathered plans, which unlocks six months of free access. Verizon notes that subscribers will pay $10. 99/month after six months.
What is still unclear
While these price hikes will come as a bitter disappointment to subscribers, Apple Music still remains cheaper than Spotify. However, Apple Music’s updated Individual subscription price of $11. 99 is now on par with YouTube Music, while its $19. 99/month Family plan costs $1 more than YouTube Music’s plan.
