Apple is about to increase the price of several of its services in France. The new prices do not yet apply when subscribing according to our tests, but they are mentioned in black and white on the Apple website.
New Apple One prices that take into account the increase in Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade
Apple TV+ will go from €6.99/month to €9.99/month. A year ago almost to the day, the video service received its first increase, going from €4.99 to €6.99. In other words, with this new increase, Apple TV+ now costs twice as much as a year ago – the number of series and films has not doubled. Apple Arcade will go from €4.99/month to €6.99/month. This is the very first increase for the video game service launched in 2019.
