(Updated 2026 Pricing & Plans)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Streaming services<\/a> have become the new cable. And just like cable, they\u2019re getting more expensive. Apple TV+ started as the underdog, a sleek, ad-free home for prestige originals like \u201cTed Lasso\u201d and \u201cSeverance\u201d. But with recent price hikes, many users are asking the same question: how much is Apple TV+ now? Is it still worth your money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Apple TV+?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apple TV+ is Apple\u2019s own streaming service, which is also a place built entirely around original shows, movies, and documentaries you won\u2019t find anywhere else. Think of it as Apple\u2019s answer to Netflix or Disney+, but with a smaller, more curated library focused on quality over quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the home of hit series like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and Silo, along with exclusive films starring A-list actors and directed by top filmmakers. Everything streams ad-free<\/strong>, in 4K HDR<\/strong>, with Dolby Atmos<\/strong><\/a> sound when available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple TV+ doesn\u2019t have multiple tiers by default, but just one subscription that gives you full access to everything. You can watch on any Apple device<\/strong>, most smart TVs, or even through web browsers and streaming sticks like Roku or Amazon Fire TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you already use Apple\u2019s ecosystem<\/a>, it fits right in. You can download episodes for offline viewing, share your subscription with up to five family members, and sync across devices seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, Apple TV+ isn\u2019t trying to overwhelm you with endless content. It\u2019s more about high-quality originals, sleek design, and a simple, no-fuss experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Is Apple TV+?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As of August 21, 2025<\/strong>, Apple TV+ costs $12.99 per month<\/strong> in the United States. The price was recently increased from $9.99, and for existing subscribers, the new rate takes effect at their next renewal date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike many other streaming services, Apple keeps things simple. There\u2019s just one plan (no multiple tiers), and every subscriber gets access to the full catalog of Apple Originals, 4K HDR streaming, and Family Sharing is included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer to pay annually, Apple also offers a $119.99 per year<\/strong> plan, which saves you about $35 compared to paying monthly. That\u2019s a good option if you know you\u2019ll stick with it long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth noting that prices can vary slightly by region due to currency differences and local taxes. For example, it\u2019s around \u00a310.99\/month<\/strong> in the UK, \u20ac12.99\/month<\/strong> in the EU, and NT$330\/month<\/strong> in Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
