This week we rolled out new regular subscription rates around the world to better align with the market in each territory. That means lower prices in India, Africa, and Latin America.

Like Apple TV+, @circuitcinema.com has raised prices in the US and other countries.

The difference is that 0% of your subscription fee goes to bribes, donations, kickbacks, or gold offerings to Dear Leader, and 100% of it supports the important work of independent film artists around the world.
CNBC: ".. Apple TV+ subscription price increasing to $12.99 per month from today ..

".. Apple today announced that the monthly price of Apple TV+ is rising in the United States and some international markets. From today, the monthly subscription will cost $12.99, up from $9.99."
