Apple hikes prices on some subscription services

Apple (AAPL) is raising the prices of some of its subscription services, including streaming platform Apple TV+, in the US and select international markets beginning Wednesday.

The company quietly announced the changes on its website, which revealed Apple TV+ will now cost $9.99, up from the prior $6.99. Apple TV+ originally cost $4.99 when it first launched in November 2019.

Apple Arcade and Apple News+ will each go up by $2 and $3, respectively, to $6.99 and $12.99.

As a result of the changes, Apple One, which bundles up to six Apple subscriptions for one monthly price, also saw its tiered prices increase.

The Individual plan will now cost $19.95 a month, up from $16.99, while the Family plan will be $25.95 — up from the prior $22.95. The Premier plan went up by $5 to a new monthly price of $37.95.

Existing subscribers will see these price increases 30 days later, on their next renewal date.

Apple raised the prices on a slew of its subscription services last year, hiking the monthly costs of Apple TV+, Apple One and Apple Music. Wednesday's announcement did not include price hikes to Apple Music or its fitness subscription plans.

"We are focused on delivering the best experiences possible for our customers by consistently adding high-quality entertainment, content, and innovative features to our services," Apple said in a statement provided to Yahoo Finance.

After street vendor crackdown, Corona Plaza market is a changed place - Gothamist

The stretch of pavement in Queens where Liliana Sanchez used to sell aguas frescas has been empty since city sanitation police forced her to pack up her pop-up tent canopy. Her 16-year-old daughter now spends school nights and weekends busing tables to help pay rent. Across the street from Corona Plaza, sales at Alondra Cardoso’s hair salon have dipped 30%, or some $200 to $300 dollars a week, since the clientele from the former street vendor market no longer venture into her shop. Delivery worker Jorge Marin, 35, now orders breakfast from a bakery at a nearby intersection. He used to load up on tamales and yogurt and steaming cups of champurrado at the market, which expanded during the height of the pandemic. Now, at the bakery, he said he spends more for less. “It’s been dead,” Queens Borough President Donovan Richards said of the plaza since the vendors’ departure. “It’s taken the life out of the community.” The scene on a recent day in Corona Plaza, Queens, where a crack

Consumer Price Inflation, by Type of Good or Service (2000-2022) - Visual Capitalist

Published 1 day ago on February 22, 2023 Consumer Price Inflation, by Type of Good or Service (2000-2022) The Consumer Price Index (CPI) provides a steady indication of how inflation is affecting the economy. This big picture number is useful for policymakers and professionals in the financial sector, but most people experience inflation at the cash register or checkout screen. Since the start of the 21st century, U.S. consumers have seen a divergence of price movements across various categories. Nowhere is this better illustrated than on this chart concept thought up by AEI’s Mark J. Perry . It’s sometimes referred to as the “chart of the century” because it provides such a clear and impactful jump-off point to discuss a number of economic forces. The punchline is that many consumer goods—particularly those that were easily outsourced—saw price drops, while key “non-tradable” categories saw massive increases. We’ll look at both situations in more detail below. Race
