Sadly, cancelled my Apple One subscription. (self.apple_enthusiast)

I had an email yesterday telling me that the Apple One subscription was going up for the second time in twelve months.

It no longer represents good value for me and I can save nearly £100 a year by cancelling and subscribing to the important parts that I use most.

Apple are not alone in increasing prices (in a cost of living crisis) to the point they no longer represent fair value. What is it with companies that they lack basic business smarts?

Bad assumption. I think they pay these prices grudgingly.

Or the UI engages dark patterns and manipulative design to further corral you into submission/complacency

Or it’s just a good deal and you’re used to prices that include data mining

I'd love to get the source that quantifies or even qualifies the notion that Apple does not datamine all that in their own way that may or may not be more respectful of privacy.

I wanna believe it but it seems questionable based on the privacy nutrition labels and their little popups that explain stuff.
