Looks like another price hike to

They are going to have to add quite a bit before I pay that.

The individual components of Apple’s offering are all going up around £2 a month each, but if you get the Apple One bundle, the bundle price is only going up £2 (to £18.95). I use arcade a very little, but I do make good use of News and the cloud storage integration is seamless across my devices. Naturally we hammer Music like there’s no tomorrow - our Echo devices are all logged in to it as is everyone’s phone, the living room TV and my iPad. We also have family sharing set up so we actually use the premier bundle, going up £4 to £36.95.

Amazon set to charge $2.99 to remove ads from prime video, adverts will be rolling out next year on the service, as we all know by now what happens with these services in the US tends to come to the UK shortly afterwards too https://cordcuttersnews.com/amazon-w...video-service/

Looks like Prime will get cancelled next year then for me.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

I get good enough value out of just the deliver tbh

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

I've not worked out how much value I get out of free delivery to be honest, but still thinking of cancelling but I'll see how it goes when my Neo QLED gets delivered tomorrow when I test 4K content.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

My deliveries have cost me less than 30p each in the last 12 months

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

So that would give you 316 deliveries to cover the cost of a full price UK subscription, do you make that many? Lol

I don't really use FB anymore, not logged in for months but still got messenger, cheers for info.

The people prophesising doom for Netflix had better think again. The other streamers are doing pretty well, too.

[EXTRACT]

Disney+, Paramount+, Netflix and Apple TV+ all achieved strong subscriber growth, according to the latest Kantar Entertainment on Demand (EoD) data on the global video streaming market.

Netflix continues to continues to dominate, and is present in two-thirds of streaming households, whilst 49% of these households consider Netflix to be their primary streaming subscription. Whilst this percentage has dipped from 53%, compared to the same period last year, the platform continues to perform strongly despite half of Netflix households subscribing to four or more services last quarter.

However, it is Disney+, Paramount+ and Apple TV+ that have emerged as leaders in new subscribers. Kantar estimates up to 30% of Disney+ users are sharing their accounts with others. In response, Disney+ announced a forthcoming password-sharing crackdown, set to commence in Canada on November 1, 2023.

That's quite the spin on an article headlined:

Netflix and Disney+ outperform as Prime Video growth slows

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Prime seems to be an exception, possibly because they’ve not added much good content recently. All the others seem to be OK, and it’s nice to see Apple+ doing well. Some of their content is pretty interesting. The Silo is the latest to generate my interest.

Don't get over confident old chap, you'll see.
