Sounds like they're removing 4K from the standard plan and moving it to the new premium plan. Fuck you Disney!
There's a premium plan? Here in Australia, we still just have the one monthly plan, which they recently increased by $3 per month.
If they jump onto the "premium" plan bandwagon like the others, and move 4K to that, this will literally be the final streaming service for me to drop. I've already dropped all the others. Only reason I kept this is because the sheer volume of content for my wife and daughter makes the $14 worthwhile - I just don't have enough storage space (yet) to deliver all that via my Plex setup.
They're introducing it in Europe from November 2023, not sure about other regions. The press release here explains what's in each plan - unfortunately the premium plan is listed here and it sounds just like Netflix.
Sonovabitch. This is why I cancelled the others in the first place - forcing me to pay for additional devices, just to get 4K streaming. That, and Netflix wanted to charge me for password sharing because my stepkids use our account when they're at their dad's. Netflix's answer was they should have a profile at each house. Losers.
