    wow, premium in the usa is expensive. it’s a little under $3 per month here in india for the family plan and even that’s after a recent 16% hike. the individual plan is even cheaper.

    i guess these rates are in store for us as well in the future?

      That’s the Euro symbol. Just FYI.

      Depends on economies, they can’t really charge like double minimum wage, so countries like India have “cheaper” subscriptions. So for a minimum wage worker, it’s about the same in terms of expense (ignoring other bill differences).

      So it’s probably going to stay about the same for you.

          Yes. I’m in Europe paying Pakistan prices. You just need to find a location that doesn’t require a local payment method.

              Correct. There’s cheaper locations like Turkey but YMMV and you need to do it via iPhone/iDevice through the apple pay method and create a local apple account and I don’t remember the specifics.

            Does that require you to watch via vpn all the time or just when you make the account?
