Apple News+ price (October 2026) and how to cancel
In the US (as of 2026-10-18), Apple lists Apple News+ at $12.99/month after a free trial, with Family Sharing for up to six people (Apple News+). Cancel in Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Apple News+, or manage subscriptions from the News app on Mac (Apple Support: Cancel a subscription).
News+ is also included in Apple One Premier - if that is what bills you, manage Apple One instead. Some device promo trials end access immediately if you cancel during the trial.
