Not only is it expensive to travel, but Disney recently raised prices across the parks on things like food, water, ears, lightsabers, and special photo shoot sessions.

An Apple TV+ representative said, “We introduced Apple TV+ at a very low price because we started with just a few shows and movies. Three years later, Apple TV+ is home to an extensive selection of award-winning and broadly acclaimed series, feature films, documentaries, and kids and family entertainment from the world’s most creative storytellers.”

As far as Apple Music goes, the representative said, “The change to Apple Music is due to an increase in licensing costs, and in turn, artists and songwriters will earn more for the streaming of their music. We also continue to add innovative features that make Apple Music the world’s best listening experience.”

Apple isn’t the only one raising prices in the streaming world — price increases have hit Hulu and Disney+ price increases are set to hit in December. Also Netflix is going to start charging for password sharing.
