If you are a fan of classical music and an iOS user, I have great news for you as Apple is ready to launch a new standalone Apple Music Classical app that likes to listen to classic hits from their 50,60s, etc.
But there are many questions about this, and today, I will be talking about it and explaining everything to you about this app.
What Is Apple Music Classical?
Apple Music Classical is an app offered by Apple for iOS users to find and play classical hits with great audio quality, and the app will be available to download from March 28, 203.
If you are a person who has a taste for classical music, you are going to love this app.
Apple has released this app in multiple languages, such as :
- Dutch
- French
- German
- Italian
And a few more.
You can listen to over 5 million songs; the best part is you can listen to your favorite classical tracks without any ads.
This app isn’t only limited to the U.S. or any other region; you can download it from anywhere in the world, wherever the Apple Music service is available.
How Do You Preorder And Download Apple Music Classical App?
Here’s how you can preorder the Apple Music Classical app and get it installed on your iOS device:
- Ensure you have updated your iOS firmware to the latest version, as it’ll run only on iOS 15.4 or later.
- Signed in your Apple profile.
- Open the Apple Music Classical app from the App Store.
- Click on the preorder option and enter the payment details If you haven’t done already.
After you are done preordering the Apple Music Classical app from the App Store, you’ll be charged once the app is released, which is March 28, 23, and it’ll automatically get installed and downloaded on your iOS device.
Note: If the app didn’t download automatically on your iOS device even after pre-ordering, there might be some technical error on your device, but you can download it from the App Store as usual.
You must remember that you can access this app only If you have a working internet connection, or else you won’t be able to use it.
Let’s talk about this app in detail and understand why Apple would launch it when there is already an app for music lovers called Apple Music for their iOS devices.
Apple Music Classical Was Previously Called Primephonic:
Yes, you heard that right.
Primephonic was a service that was launched as a classical music streaming platform in the U.S. in 2017 where users can listen to their favorite classical music by paying a monthly fee of $7.99.
Artists of these classical songs were compensated by how long a user consumed their tracks in minutes and hours.
However, in 2021, Apple acquired Primephonic for an undisclosed amount. They shut down the service on September 2021 as they were planning to launch a standalone app for classical music lovers in the next year i.e, 2022.
The plans didn’t go well, and the app couldn’t launch in 2022 for some unknown reasons, but it is ready to get launch in March 2023 and is ready to pre-order from the App Store.
There is no confirmation of how Apple will compensate the artists; we have to wait and see about that.
Those who may have doubted why Apple is launching such a classical music app will now understand that it is based on Primephonic, and the content of this app is mostly from Primephonic.
If you have already used Primephonic, how cool will the Apple Music Classical be when it gets launched with a new name, Right?
How Much Is The Apple Music Classical App Going To Cost?
If you already subscribe to Apple Music with any plan (Individual, Student, Family) or Apple One, you can access Apple Music Classical free of cost.
Yes, you read it right. Simply download and install the Apple Music Classical app, and you can get started with the app.
Unfortunately, this app will work with the Apple Music Voice Plan. You’ll have to subscribe to Apple Music or Apple One to use this app; there is no other way.
Frequently Asked Questions:
The answer to this question is both Yes and No.
If you already have Apple Music or Apple One subscription, then Apple Music Classical will be included with that plan. Still, If you don’t have those subscriptions, you can access it unless you get a subscription to any of those plans.
A 1-year subscription to Apple Music will cost you $109, and If you use it regularly, this plan might suit you.
If you have recently bought a new AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, Beats Studio Buds, Beats Solo Pro, etc, you might be eligible for a 6-month free Apple Music subscription. To know more details, you can visit this Apple page and see If you are eligible for that plan.
Some of the best classic music apps for iOS users are IDAGIO, Primephonic, and Sonata – Classical Music Radio.
Primephonic will be available on the App Store with a new avatar and name, and it’ll be called Apple Music Classical, which I have discussed in detail earlier in the post.
Conclusion:
Apple Music Classical app has been in the works for over a year now, and in just a few days, you can try this app and easily listen to any classic track of your favorite artist from the past.
You can pre-order it from the App Store and find the app once it is released. If you have any other questions about Apple Music Classical, comment below, and I’ll reply soon.
