Apple TV+ Price increases bite in the UK - Get it cheaper!

Posted 26th Oct 2023 (Posted 4 h, 37 m ago)
So after Netflix and Disney+ increases, Apple TV+ Price increases, and some of their other services, have now hit the UK and they're quite some increases! It was approx one year ago that Apple TV+ increased their pricing from £4.99 to £6.99, so what's the new pricing?

Well, prices for new users are now £8.99 per month, that's another big jump, and for existing users the price will increase on their next billing cycle.

Arcade has increased from £4.99 to £6.99, News+ has also increased to £12.99 and Apple One from £16.95 to £18.95 per month for a Single Sub, Family from £22.95 to £24.95.

Apple Arcade - Apple (UK)
Apple News+ - Apple (UK)
Apple One - Apple (UK)

Apple ascribes these price changes to its dedication to providing superior experiences for its customers, emphasized by the ongoing inclusion of top-tier entertainment, content, and cutting-edge features across its services.

What the heck is Apple TV+?

Apple TV+ is an American subscription streaming service owned and operated by Apple Inc. Launched on November 1, 2019, it offers a selection of original production film and television series called Apple Originals. The service was announced during the Apple Special Event of March 2019, where entertainers from Apple TV+ projects appeared on-stage, among them Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg.

The service can be accessed through Apple's website and through the Apple TV app, which has gradually become available for many Apple devices and some major competing digital media players, including some smart TV models and video-game consoles. Apple plans to expand the services' availability and there are workarounds for subscribers whose device is not presently supported. Access is included as part of the Apple One subscription. Most of the content is available in Dolby Vision profile 5 and Dolby Atmos.

    AppleTV is terrible in comparison to other streaming services. Even giving it away for free is asking too much.

    Its quality over quantity though, most of the Apple TV+ shows are better than the recent originals from Netflix.

    It's almost like they want to force us into going down the IPTV route. we cannot watch all sports without TNT,Sky,BT & Prime.

    Apple TV have such a small selection that you then also need Netflix, which also isnt great...

    Apple Arcade total "S" games from 1999 or say candy crush type games
    Is it worth £6.99 NO NO NO
    xbox Game pass or PS Subscription for £12.99 it is 10000 Times better You need PS4/5 or Xbox to play but still Miles better

    Apple TV or Netflix Netflix 100 Times better as have much more to look
    Yes apple TV have couple good series shows , but only maybe say 10 Shows and this it Nothing more to look I do not say that you do not need to see apple TV but Smart person Just get apple TV when they offering for Free watch all the Series on this trial period and cancel as there is no point pay apple TV and later after 1 Year again get free/ trial and see new shows

    Apple Cloud 200 GB for £2.99 This what i have So per Year it is 2.99 x 12 = 35.88
    I bought Office 365 home £40 Year with 5 Licence and 1 TB onedrive per User
    I can install OneDrive to any device i want " backup photos share with password Shares "
    Now try to do this with iCloud you have ONLY option to backup or they call SYNC but you can not select folders what you want to SYNC you SYNC all or nothing TOTAL SSS rip off
    Now they Increase Picture file Size so they have new iCloud Storage 2 TB HA HAHAH

    Apple Fitness I do not have but people say it is good and other review say it is good
    What i saw on Samsung device was not bad But Year ago got google Phone pixel 7 pro with watch and they google fitbit app for sports TOTAL MONEY MAKE MASHINE Basically if you not using this app our watch is total useless as there is no tracking sport what you do

    Apple name to much times become fashion and very big fan list or maybe Bots
    I have jump in to apple wagon 3 years ago and spend bit of money Do not say apple is crap no
    But try to do work with they products and then you realise that it is very nice gadget but you can not do work on device as the system is locked or do not do basic things

    Like now I have Iphone 15 Pro Max and it is have USB C and I can connect HDMI out and want to connect to Monitor the apps showing half screen the is NO mouse support where phone can be used as work device with external monitor .
    Take any Samsung Device with Dex "6 Years now DEX exist " or other Android Phone with Android Desktop mode you can really do things edit doc on the go etc

    LONG MORAL BUT APLLE IS NOT THE BEST AS MEDIA MAKE IT LOOK
    SO PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE TAKE HYPE OF APPLE GADGETS OR SERVICES (edited)

    We get it. You don’t like Apple. Maybe Apple did something to you in a previous life. Who knows.

    One thing I will say though is Apple has a lovely button with a dot on it used for the purpose of ending sentences. Not sure what you use does.

    Just a thought.

    It amazes me how greedy these companies are becoming. 15 years ago piracy was rampant, along comes Netflix and Spotify, and it very quickly died down, turns out people are happy to pay, just not ridiculous prices.

    However many of the contracts that Netflix had have run down and gone to their creators streaming service.

    Do they honestly expect me to sign up to Disney, Netflix, Amazon, Paramount, Apple TV, Now TV and Britbox? Even if I could afford to subscribe to them all I'd still rather start up my Plex server again and have them all one service in one place.

    Piracy has not died down at all!!! It’s worse than ever. The format has changed to streaming so people access IPTV formats and pay someone to illegally give them access to content.

    Mirror the comments, I find the tv service pretty poor and hard to navigate, always hard to find the free stuff and pushing you to buy a movie or whatever.

    That being said I’ve never paid for it, there seems to be an endless stream of free offers. New phone, curry’s, Vodafone, Roku. It’s always free or not worth paying for. Ted Lasso was good though

    Seems these companies have modelled price increases to cancelled subs and realise they’re better off losing 20% for a higher increase in subs

    Need to look in the Apple TV PLUS section for the originals that need the subscription.

    The Apple TV app also shows other channels that can be subscribed to like Lionsgate+ and Paramount+ and things available to purchase (the iTunes store).

    Don't even know what people find to watch on this service?!
    jon81uk's avatar
    The Morning Show started well but got a bit soapy.
    For all Mankind is good.
    Severence is excellant.
    Silo was pretty good.
    Hijack was excellant.
    Slow Horses is great.
    The Crowded Room is excellant.
    Mythic Quest is a good sitcom.
    Loot was also a fun sitcom.

    There are as many good originals as netflix.

    People need to vote with their wallet. If we keep accepting these prices then yes of course they’ll keep increasing.

    Good luck convincing the almighty apple to reduce pricing by not using them.

    Does this only apply to TV? Currently using "student" Apple Music plan which gives me Apple Music and Apple TV+ for £5.99/month
  12. sm9690's avatar
    There's also potential for Apple Arcade and Apple One to increase in the UK, so keep an eye on that.


    Arcade has increased from £4.99 to £6.99 and News+ has also increased to £12.99
