Apple is adjusting the monthly fees for its service bundles in Europe. Following earlier price hikes for the Apple One individual plan in the US market, prices are now rising across several European countries for the higher subscription tiers. The current price increase primarily affects the Apple One Family and Apple One Premium packages.
Price adjustments for Family and Premium plans
Users subscribed to one of the affected bundle plans are currently receiving email notifications from Apple. According to customer notices, monthly costs are being raised by 2 euros. For instance, the monthly price for the Apple One Family plan is increasing to 27.95 euros.
The price adjustment applies to both the Family option and the Premium package, which combine various services from the manufacturer. Apple is gradually rolling out the higher rates across multiple countries in the European region.
Background and context
With its Apple One packages, the company bundles services such as cloud storage, music streaming, and other offerings at a discounted bundle rate compared to individual subscriptions. Following adjustments in the North American market, Apple is now bringing the pricing structure in line across parts of Europe, responding to increased operating costs for its digital services.
What affected users should do now
Customers in the affected countries should check their email inboxes for an official notice from Apple. The email specifies the exact date from which the new monthly amount will be charged to the payment method on file. Those who do not wish to keep the bundle under the new terms can cancel the subscription in their account settings on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, or via Apple ID management before the next billing cycle, or switch to an individual service.
