Apple Increases Apple Music Subscription Price in Nigeria, Effective August 17, 2026

• Apple has announced new Apple Music subscription prices for users in Nigeria, with the updated rates taking effect from August 17, 2026.

Apple has announced an increase in the price of its Apple Music subscription service in Nigeria, with the new rates set to take effect from August 17, 2026.

The adjustment is part of a broader global price review by the tech giant, which said the increase was necessary due to the rising cost of licensing music from artists and rights holders.

According to notifications sent to subscribers, existing Apple Music users in Nigeria will begin paying the updated rates from their first billing date on or after August 17, while new subscribers may be charged the revised prices immediately.

The new monthly subscription prices in Nigeria are:

• Student Plan: ₦1,300 (previously ₦1,100)
• Individual Plan: ₦2,300 (previously ₦1,800)
• Family Plan: ₦3,900 (previously ₦2,900)

In a statement explaining the increase, Apple said:

“As a result of rising licensing costs, Apple Music is increasing its subscription price.”

The company noted that the additional revenue would help support higher royalty payments to artists, songwriters and music rights holders.

Apple Music currently offers subscribers access to more than 100 million songs, alongside premium features including Lossless Audio, Spatial Audio, Apple Music Sing, and the Apple Music Classical app.

The Nigerian price adjustment comes as Apple also raised Apple Music subscription prices in the United States and several other markets.

In the U.S., the Student Plan increased from $5.99 to $6.99 per month, the Individual Plan rose from $10.99 to $11.99, while the Family Plan increased from $16.99 to $19.99 per month.

The latest adjustment marks Apple’s first major Apple Music subscription price increase since 2022 and follows recent price hikes across several of the company’s products and services.
