Following recent hardware price increases, along with subscription hikes in the US and other markets, Apple has now raised iCloud+ prices in several countries.
Here are the details.
Apple’s price hikes continue
Apple this week increased Apple Music and Apple One subscriptions in the United States and other countries, in addition to raising iPhone prices in Japan by up to 11%.
