YouTube TV Price Hike
Another streaming service is raising its prices on customers. YouTube TV announced that it's raising its monthly subscription from $65 per month to a whopping $73 per month. That's more than a 12% increase. The company said the price hike is due to rising content costs.
The higher price went into effect yesterday for new customers, while existing ones are most likely going to see the raise on their April bill. It's worth noting that YouTube TV lost the rights to the Major League Baseball Network after the two sides failed to reach a deal.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. in the current fiscal quarter will be sourced from India, while iPads and other devices will come from Vietnam as the company works to avoid the impact of President Trump’s tariffs on its business.

Cook added that for the current quarter, assuming things don’t change, Apple expects to see $900 million added to its costs as a result of the tariffs.
