Apple Music Student plan price suddenly increased in giant territories, such as the United States (US), the United Kingdom (UK), and Canada.
The latest price update of the Apple Music plan for students shortly comes after its subscription fee increased in other countries, including Singapore, South Africa, Australia, India, Indonesia, Israel, New Zealand, Kenya, and the Philippines.
Apple now appears to have expanded the price increase to more nations without any announcements.
Apple Music Student Plan
The Student plan of Apple Music enables younger users to enjoy the full-blown music streaming service for a much lower subscription price.
As per a news story by Mac Rumors, the iPhone maker provides students a price cut for Apple Music rather than paying the standard plan, which costs $9.99 per month.
It gives students a chance to also listen to the music library of Apple Music without emptying their wallets.

But this time, students in the US, UK, and Canada face a higher monthly fee. Well, it is still lower than the standard pricing of $9.99, yet it got a bit more expensive than the previous Student plan cost.
According to a recent report by 9to5 Mac, the music service of Apple went on to quietly update its monthly prices for its Student plan, as seen on its official website.
