I only pay ¥900 ($5.60 / C$7.90) per month for (Japanese) Apple TV while the same subscription is literally $12.99 for Americans and C$17.99 for Canadians per month, like WTF? Regional pricing is also taken into account despite using the exact same streaming service, why is that? There are differences though, mainly in the shows available (different countries share their exclusives that don’t exist in the other). Why does it cost “less” in Japan though…

    Also worth noting that the price of Apple TV should be compared to ad-free tiers of other streaming services, since they have no ad-supported tier.

    (Prices per month in USD)

    • Apple TV: $12.99
    • Disney+ Ad-Free: $18.99
    • Netflix Ad-Free: $19.99
    • HBO Ad-Free: $18.49
    • Amazon Ad-Free: $19.98
