Even at $6.99, Apple TV+ is still a bargain. I may consider canceling Apple Music though, since I don't use it that much. I could probably get by with the Amazon Music I get as a Prime subscriber.
Got a tip for us?

Because they know they can
These weren't even good deals in the first place. Apple TV? lol. Spotify is still $9.99.
Oh I'm not surprised, especially considering that this is Apple, but still
There is one bit of good news from the press release/spokesperson thing:
“The change to Apple Music is due to an increase in licensing costs, and in turn, artists and songwriters will earn more for the streaming of their music.”
Apple Music already pays artists more per stream than Spotify, so if this puts them even further ahead I don’t think it’s terrible.

I wish Apple offered an annual plan that discounts monthly pricing.
And we must make excuses for Apple no matter what they do! /s
Shame, but I'm stuck in the ecosystem, so not sure what I can do about it.
I had already called it because Google just did itIt was only a matter of time. But still
The article has been updated with more details
Everything is going up in prices, so this is about right really.
They probably should've kept the Apple One package the same and just raised the other stuff. It would've steered more people towards Apple One potentially. Then again, I'm just some schmuck on a website. I assume they have very smart people who calculated this was the right move.

This is how Mr. Tim Cook is feeling. Maybe he's not even happy about the prices being increased. Less enthusiastic.
Are you joking... the price of music subscription has completely ignored inflation. https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2010/04/rhapsody-drop-price-to-10.html About time artists get paid more, at $10.99 it is still giving incredible value!
Uh, Apple really gets everyone stuck in their iCost programs

Guess they needed to cover the increases in wages throughout the company.
Just canceled Apple Music. Will probably cancel TV+ but not sure yet.

if ppl are not buying iphones or expensive mb...increase revenue through services..model i guess. I have an icloud sub, wondering if price is up for that.
There is no more growth left in our economy except by increasing prices.
