Apple offers many discounts on several of its products, both devices and services, for the student community, with which it has always been strongly committed. However, the many financial changes taking place globally could also affect this position of Apple.
In this way, an increase in the price of the discounted Apple Music subscription for students has been confirmed in some countries,
According to analysts at MacRumorsthese changes will affect Apple Music plans for students in the following countries: Australia, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Indonesia, Israel and Kenya.
However, and although you may think that it will not necessarily affect you, this policy of increasing the prices of subscription services is generally done in stages, and this could be the first of the increases before rolling out in other country.
The price has gone from $1.49 in these countries to $1.99. A little far from the prices offered in Europe or the United States of America, where the subscription costs 4.99 dollars or dollars per month. At the moment it seems that the change will only affect the countries of the East and Africa, but this procedure of increasing prices will not necessarily stop there, it would not surprise us if, taking into account the value of the dollar and recent financial movements in the world, the prices increase considerably. Meanwhile, platforms like Netflix, which have championed a policy of escalation and brazen increases, are losing subscriptions alarmingly and brutally, which comes as no surprise to anyone. We will keep you informed of future changes in the case of Apple Music Europe.
