$15 to $23.
A bit insulting, TBH.

No, all news sources reporting the hike say it's been $18 previously, not $15.
$18 to $23 is not insulting. It's still less than the price of two individual subscriptions.

I have a family plan. I can confirm I pay $14.99 per month right now and received an email stating it will increase to $22.99.
Perhaps I'm grandfathered into a cheaper plan, but that's my data point.

You're both right. It was $15/mo, then the price went up to $18 but they didn't raise the price for existing subscribers, but this time they're raising the price for existing customers as well, so for the oldest customers, it's a 50%, $15->$23 hike, and for newer customers, it's a 27%, $18->$23 hike.
But now if you purchase via iOS instead of the web it's $30 because of the Apple 30% tax. So... don't do that.
The only thing insane is that Apple still takes a cut of streaming/media subscriptions.
