How much is Apple Music?

Apple Music is Apple’s music streaming service that was first introduced at WWDC 2015. The service launched that same summer and positions Apple as a direct competitor to services like Spotify. Apple Music has the potential to be the best streaming music service. Apple Music lets you listen to 30 million songs from the iTunes catalog, plus any music you've purchased from iTunes over the years. Music can be downloaded for offline listening, as well as streamed from the cloud. Siri helps you find new and vintage music with some new voice commands.

Apple Music is accessible via the built-in iOS Music app, which gets a major redesign with iOS 10, as well as with iTunes on the Mac and PC. Apple Music is also available on Android, making it the first Apple service to come to Google’s mobile operating system. The latest version of Apple Music will feature a new streamlined design that will make it more user-friendly and intuitive to navigate.

Where do I get Apple Music?

It's built into the latest versions of iTunes on your computer and the Music app on your iPhone or iPad. To get Apple Music, your iOS device needs to be running iOS 8.4 or later. You have better upgrade to the latest version of iTunes or the iOS operating system on your phone or tablet to see it.

Whether you subscribe to Apple Music or not, the new Apple Music app will still be on your iPhone, iPad or iPod and you'll use it to manage music already on your device or that you've purchased from iTunes.
