Apple is increasing the price of its discounted Apple Music student subscription in several countries worldwide, with subscribers reporting that they are receiving emails from Apple informing them of the forthcoming change to their plan beginning with their next monthly payment.
As reported by MacRumors, subscribers in Australia, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Indonesia, Israel, and Kenya have reported receiving notifications from Apple about the upcoming change.
Apple hasn’t shared an official list of countries where the new pricing structure is being introduced, so more countries could be added to the list.

On Twitter, a student in South Africa shared the price increase notification they received from Apple, informing them that their Apple Music subscription will increase from USD 1.49 per month to USD 1.99 per month moving forward.
