Why prices keep rising

Apple isn't alone; most major streaming services have raised prices in the last two years. This is often due to increased production costs for new shows and films, the need to generate profit, and a saturated market where companies compete for subscriber loyalty. They're trying to find the sweet spot between attracting viewers and making money.
