## Resource

Apple’s rolling out another round of subscription price hikes—Apple Music and Apple One are both getting more expensive, with family plans jumping to $28 and $40 respectively. While the increases seem small per month, they add up fast, especially for loyal Apple ecosystem users. Apple blames rising licensing costs, even as they’ve recently raised hardware prices due to chip shortages. This isn’t the first time—prices were upped in 2022 too. If you’re locked into Apple’s services, watch your wallet: those monthly fees are creeping higher. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
