Apple has raised the price of its Apple TV+ streaming service to $14.99 per month or $119 per year, effective immediately.[^1]

The figures tell the story cleanly. The annual plan moved from $99 to $119, a 20% increase.[^3] Monthly subscribers absorbed a $2 rise, landing at $14.99.[^2] Two pricing tiers, two simultaneous increases, no phase-in.

The read here is that the annual move is the one to track. A 20% jump in a single step is not the kind of incremental nudge a service makes when it is testing subscriber tolerance - it is the kind a service makes when it has decided its earlier price was structurally too low. Whether the subscriber base holds at $119 is the number that follows.
