If you move country and Apple News is not available in the new territory, state the move and provide proof such as a utility bill or new address. Apple may treat this as a reason to end the subscription; the applicable rule is the right to cancel under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 where relevant.
If Apple increases the price of Apple News+ for existing subscribers without their agreement, you have the right to cancel the subscription and receive any refund required under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024; provide the notice you received from Apple as proof. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 also prevents unfair contract terms.
In the event of the subscriber's death, a close family member or executor should contact Apple Support and provide the death certificate and proof of authority. Apple will treat this as a contractual termination on notification.
Apple accepts withdrawal statements, Report a Problem cancellations and written notices to the address or email provided. Use the model withdrawal form in Apple s Right of Withdrawal PDF or email [email protected] as proof. See Apple's right of withdrawal document.
If your subscription term ends or you cancel before renewal, the subscription will not auto-renew. Confirm cancellation in your Apple Account and keep the confirmation email as proof. The cancellation is effective from the time you notify Apple.
You have a 14 day cooling-off period for contracts concluded online under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 with a right to a refund unless you gave express consent for immediate performance of digital content. If you started downloading or streaming content with prior express consent and acknowledgement that you lose the right of withdrawal, this exception applies. See the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 for details.
Apple does not publish routine retention discounts for Apple News+. There are periodic offers for new subscribers such as a 1-month free trial and device or carrier promotions. For bespoke retention, contact Apple Support and request any available offers while citing the active price of competitors. If you received an offer when you first subscribed, quote that offer during the call or email. Confirm any retention offer in writing by email.
Apple News+ costs £12.99 per month. Annual cost: 12 x £12.99 = £155.88 per year. Apple One Premier costs £36.95 per month or 12 x £36.95 = £443.40 per year. If you cancel Apple News+ only you save £12.99 per month or £155.88 per year. The cheapest competitor in our data is Narrata at £4.99 per month or 12 x £4.99 = £59.88 per year. Yearly saving by switching from Apple News+ to Narrata: £155.88 - £59.88 = £96.00 per year.
Your rights include the cooling-off and refund protections of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and the obligations in the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 updated subscription cooling-off rules for renewals. The Competition and Markets Authority monitors hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal practices.
The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 gives a 14 day cooling-off period for online contracts. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 confirms consumers can cancel subscription contracts during an initial cooling-off period and renewal cooling-off periods; cancellation is effective from notification. If digital content was provided after express consent with acknowledgement you lose the right of withdrawal, the right no longer applies.
First complain to Apple using Report a Problem, email [email protected] or contact Apple Support. If Apple does not resolve the issue, contact Citizens Advice for guidance, pursue chargeback via your card issuer or Section 75 where applicable, or complain to the relevant ombudsman for your sector. The CMA investigates unfair auto-renewal practices.
Keep the email confirmation of cancellation and check your Apple Account to confirm the subscription status. If you cancelled mid-period you should retain access until the paid period ends unless you cancelled under a statutory right that requires a refund.
Your saved articles and offline downloads from Apple News+ will no longer update after access ends. Your Apple ID and reading history remain under your Apple account; request data export from Apple if you need a copy.
You can re-subscribe at any time via the App Store or your Apple Account. Promotions for new subscribers such as a 1-month free trial are subject to Apple s terms and may not be available to returning subscribers.
