Last year was another big year for Apple. In addition to releasing the iPhone 14, AirPods Pro 2 and some entertaining new series on Apple TV Plus, the tech and media giant also reached 900 million subscriptions across its services in 2022.

Subscriptions to popular services such as Apple TV Plus and Apple Music contributed to the total despite price increases on both services last year. The company's other services include Apple Arcade, Apple News Plus, Apple Books (now available with AI narration on some books) and Apple Fitness Plus.

It's unclear which services contributed the most to the milestone, which Apple announced in a blog post Tuesday. The company didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. It's also unclear if subscribers largely signed up for individual services or in bulk via an Apple One subscription, which, depending on the plan, can include Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, Apple Arcade, Apple Fitness Plus, Apple News Plus and iCloud Plus. 

With an expansive services catalog and features like Apple Sing, it's likely only a matter of time before the company reaches 1 billion paid subscriptions across its services.
