Netflix price increase in the Netherlands and Belgium, up to €2 extra per month
Netflix has announced price increases for the United States, United Kingdom and France. New subscribers immediately paid the changed price and this will now also be applied to existing subscribers. The subscription for Netflix Premium has become three euros more expensive in France.
The last price increase in the Netherlands was implemented in November 2021, and these prices are currently still being used. It is expected that Netflix will also eventually implement a price increase in other countries.
Apple launches web version of the App Store
Apple this week launched a new web version of the App Store, allowing users to more easily discover apps through their browser. Up the interface apps.apple.com now offers a full App Store experience beyond Apple devices, with support for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Vision Pro.
The refresh is an important step for Apple, which now offers an easy-to-use and visually rich web interface 17 years after launching the App Store in 2008. Previously a visit led to apps.apple.com just to a simple App Store information page, with no options to search or browse apps.
