Just a few days after increasing AppleCare+ prices for Macs and iPads, Apple has now made another change that could affect many users.

The revised pricing is already live on Apple’s website and applies to Individual, Family as well as Student plans. Apple says the increase is because of rising music licensing costs. Apart from the higher pricing, there are no new features or additional benefits included with the subscriptions.

Apple hasn’t changed anything else with these plans. Subscribers will continue to get access to the same music catalogue and existing features.
| Plan | Old Price | New Price |
|---|---|---|
| Individual | Rs 119/month | Rs 139/month |
| Family | Rs 179/month | Rs 229/month |
| Student | Rs 59/month | Rs 69/month |
Apple Music continues to offer access to a catalogue of more than 100 million songs along with ad-free streaming, offline downloads, Lossless Audio, Spatial Audio and curated playlists.
The Family plan allows up to six members to use the subscription through Family Sharing, with each user getting their own playlists, recommendations and listening history. Students who verify their eligibility continue to get all the features of the Individual plan, along with Apple TV+ at no additional cost.
Apple hasn’t stopped with Apple Music. Its Apple One bundles have also become more expensive. The Individual Apple One plan now costs Rs 195 per month, compared to Rs 175 earlier. The Family plan has gone up from Rs 235 to Rs 295, while the Premier plan now costs Rs 995 per month, instead of Rs 899.
Apple One combines multiple Apple services under a single subscription, including Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, iCloud+ and other services depending on the plan.
| Plan | Old Price | New Price |
|---|---|---|
| Individual | Rs 175/month | Rs 195/month |
| Family | Rs 235/month | Rs 295/month |
| Premier | Rs 899/month | Rs 995/month |
The latest increase comes shortly after Apple revised AppleCare+ pricing for Macs and iPads. Reports have also suggested that the company could increase prices of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro lineup later this year due to rising component costs, although Apple hasn’t confirmed anything yet.
Apple isn’t the only company making subscription services more expensive either. Streaming platforms across the industry have been revising their prices over the past year as licensing and operating costs continue to rise. For now, existing Apple Music and Apple One users in India will have to pay the revised amount when their subscriptions renew.
