Apple Music increases prices in South Africa

• Apple Music has increased its prices in South Africa from R69.99 to R79.99 per month for individuals and from R109.99 to R129.99 per month for the family plan.
• The price increase is attributed to rising licensing costs and Apple's commitment to fairly compensate artists who use the platform.
• The new prices will take effect on 27 August 2026, and this is the second Apple Music price adjustment since the service launched locally in June 2015.
