Although Apple didn’t focus on Apple Music during its WWDC keynote, there are a few changes coming to the app in iOS 16.
Read MoreCupertino tech giant Apple has introduced a sleep timer to the Android beta of its streaming platform. The Apple Music 3.10 beta on Android now flaunts the new feature of a sleep timer. Oddly enough, the very same feature is currently missing in Apple’s own operating system, as there is no equivalent feature for the iOS beta of Apple Music.
Read MoreCupertino tech giant Apple may soon be releasing a brand new Apple Music app. Code spotted in iOS 15.5‘s first beta version suggests that this new app might launch soon. By relegating classical music to a separate app, Apple may be seeking to bolster Apple Music.
Read MoreNew users of Apple Music will no longer be offered a three-month free trial period by the streaming service. A Macotakara report states that the free trial period for first-time users has been reduced to one month by the company, effective in every country where the service is available.
Read MoreApple has launched a new plan to control Apple Music with just Siri. This makes no sense for customers who are already subscribed to Apple Music who will now have to pay $4.99/month just to control Apple Music via Siri. Apple should have made sure everyone who are already Apple Music customers and also use an iPhone get this feature.
Apple also introduced new features for the HomePod Mini. HomePod Mini Is now available in three different new colors. Again, Siri can be used with HomePods Mini. Family users can also use Intercom to communicate with each other in different rooms. HomePods Mini available in November at $99.
The Apple Music app has some exciting updates and it is all in favor of its Android users. The Lossless Audio and Dolby Atmos are now available on Android phones as well. While Apple recently added these features to its iPadOS, iOS, and MacOS just last month, they soon released them to their Indian audience as well. Apple Music users around the globe can enjoy spatial audio with Dolby Atmos and its live music feel. The addition of these features makes the Music apps for Apple and Android, equal. Another good news is it comes with no special charges on the upgrade. The subscription amount remains the same for regular (Rs.99/month) as well as the student plan (Rs.49/month).
Apple says the upgrade does consume more data for Android users as well, for example, a 3-minute track consumes 6MB and can consume up to 145MB with High-resolution Lossless. Apple has also said to create playlists for the easy use of the customers. The quality of music is described as “a new experience that transforms the way music will be created”.
Ever since the iOS 14.5 update for iPhone and iPadOS 14.5 for the iPad has released, Apple Music has received an amazing feature. This new feature which is so different and amazing is called Apple Music City Charts. In this feature, there will be playlists (which will be constantly updated) of the music and songs that are trending in different cities. More than 100 cities from around the globe are included here. Delhi and Bengaluru are the two cities from India that are included in the list for now. There will be the trending top 25 songs for a particular city which will be selected based on what the users in that area are listening to the most. Not just for iPhones and iPads, this feature is available also on Apple Music on macOS provided you are using the macOS Big Sur 11.3 update.
