Non-subscribers who open the Apple Music app on a new iPhone or iPad typically see an offer for a free month of the service. The trial was once three times as long, but Apple quietly shortened it in early 2022. But now through September 23, anyone new to Apple’s music streaming service will get to try it out for free for three months. The deal only applies to first-time subscribers; if you’ve never succumbed to the music app’s temptation, now is as good a time as any to check it out. Just keep in mind that the service will automatically renew for $11 per month after the trial ends. Be sure to cancel if you don’t want to pay.
Apple Music has a lot to offer. It’s currently our top recommendation in our guide to the best music streaming services. We like its approach to recommendations, balancing a good amount of editorial playlists and stations with algorithmic suggestions. Every song is available at CD-quality or better and lossless streaming doesn’t cost extra.
For computer-picked listening, there’s a “Discovery Station” that helps you find new music by playing songs you’ve never streamed before, both from artists you know and others the algorithm thinks you’ll like. And, in my experience, saying, “Hey Siri, play me some Apple Music,” produces pretty good mix of stuff I like that’s novel enough to be interesting, but not so familiar I’m sick of hearing it.
There are a few caveats to note about the service: It’s really made for Apple devices, though its available on Android devices too. You won’t find podcasts on Apple Music. And, aside from this deal, there’s no free version of Apple Music. Pay your $11 monthly or listen elsewhere.
As for the deal, we’ll restate that it’s only for new subscribers — previous subscribers and even those who’ve had access to Apple Music through a Family plan aren’t eligible. You also have to sign up using the Apple Music app on an iPhone, Mac or iPad running the latest software. An Apple ID is also required. You can read all terms of the deal here.
