For many of its products, whether they are devices or services, Apple offers numerous discounts for the student community, with which it has always been firmly committed. However, the many financial changes that are taking place on a global scale could also affect this position of Apple.
Thus, a price increase for Apple Music student discount subscription has been confirmed in certain countries, something that possibly will be expanded to the rest of the countries where this juicy discount is offered. In this way, the price increase, although it does not seem significant, can be a start.
According to analysts MacRumors, these 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 this will not necessarily affect you, this price increase policy for subscription services is usually done in stages, and this could be the first of the increases before rolling out in other countries.
The price has risen from $1,49 in these countries to $1,99. Somewhat far from the prices offered in Europe or the United States of America, where the subscription costs 4,99 euros or dollars per month. At the moment it seems that the change will only affect countries in the East and Africa, but this price increase procedure will not necessarily stop there, it would not surprise us if given the value of the dollar and recent financial movements around the world, the price increase considerably. Meanwhile, platforms like Netflix, which have championed a policy of escalating and brazen increases, are losing subscriptions alarmingly and abruptly, something that surprises no one.
