The change has no bearing on the restricted 6-month trial period offered with the purchase of certain Apple devices for a limited time.
In various countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, and the United Kingdom, Apple’s three-month free trial for new users has been cut to one month.
This change has no bearing on the limited six-month trial programme offered with the purchase of some Apple gadgets, such as AirPods, HomePod mini, and some Beats products, for a limited time.
As of now, the monthly membership rates appear to be unaffected. Individual Apple Music plans continue to cost $9.99 (approximately Rs. 750) ($4.99 (about Rs. 370) for college students), while a five-person family plan costs $14.99 (roughly Rs. 370). (roughly Rs. 1,120).
There’s also the newer Apple Music Speech Plan, which for $4.99 (approximately Rs. 370) a month provides you restricted access to some of the music repertoire via voice and Siri, but without spatial or lossless audio.
Apple is looking into ways to close the huge gap between it and Spotify, which continues to dominate the music streaming market.
