  • Apple Music is extending its free trial from one month to three months for new subscribers.
  • Eligible users can only claim this offer on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac running the latest operating system version.
  • This limited-time promotion is only available from August 7 till September 23.

Like some other popular music streaming apps, Apple Music typically offers newcomers a 1-month free trial. For a limited time, though, Spotify‘s rival is instead granting users three months of free access to its service.

To claim the 3-month free trial, you must be trying out Apple Music for the very first time. If you’ve accessed the service in the past through an individual, family, or Apple One subscription, then the promotion doesn’t apply to you. Furthermore, you can only redeem the offer on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac running the latest OS version. So, Android, Windows, and web users are ineligible.
