Promotional student pricing on Apple Music is increasing in several countries. This time, it is the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France and other countries that are concerned. You will now have to pay an extra euro per month.
For several years, many streaming platforms have been revising their prices upwards. This is particularly the case for Netflix, which increased its Essential formula to €8.99 (+ €1) in France last August.
The Los Gatos company regularly increases the prices of its subscription plans, but it is not alone because Apple Music has discreetly increased its prices in several countries around the world. Last month, the platform increased the price of its formula for students in South Africa, Saudi Arabia, India, the Philippines, Singapore, Israel and New Zealand.
Today Apple increases the price of its Student plan in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and France. Belgium, Switzerland and Japan are also subject to an increase in prices on the formula for students.
One euro more for the Student subscription
In the United States, the Student subscription to Apple Music was billed at $4.99 per month. Today, it’s up to $5.99 a month, a dollar more. In the UK, the fare is also increasing from £4.99 to £5.99.
And in France, students will have to pay an additional euro per month to keep their subscription to Apple Music. The price goes from 4.99€ to 5.99€ per month. If the increase is “only” one euro per month, this still represents a 20% increase in the price for students.
Apple Music then joined Deezer, which was until now the only one to offer a student formula at €5.99 per month. Other music streaming platforms such as Spotify, YouTube Music or Tidal still offer a reduced rate for students at €4.99 per month. The price of the other subscription formulas (Voice, Individual and Family) remains unchanged for the moment.
