Apple Music offers for April 2023: latest deals and where you can save
Since its launch in 2015, Apple Music has been Apple’s answer to other music streaming services, like Spotify. Working seamlessly with other Apple products, Apple Music can be accessed via Siri, where you can ask it to be play songs according to your mood: “Hey Siri, play something relaxing,” for example, or in a particular genre.
Our complete guide to the best Apple Music deals available right now is the best way to get all your favourite tunes, as well as curated playlists and radio, without breaking the bank.
Whether it’s The Weeknd’s latest album, a bit of Busted’s Year 3000, or rocking to KISS in anticipation of their farewell tour, Apple Music has tunes from thousands of artists. It also has exclusive content in the form of its own radio stations Apple Music 1, Apple Music Country and Apple Music Hits.
Apple Music normally costs £10.99 a month, but there are a number of ways to lower the cost – and even to get up to six months for free. Firstly, it all depends about which plan you are selecting.
Apple Music Voice costs just £4.99 a month and allows you to access Apple Music through Siri when connected to Wi-Fi. You could also go for the Apple Music Family Plan, which costs £16.99 per month but allows up to six people to listen, each with an individual music library and personalised music recommendations.
There are also lots of phone deals which include Apple Music as a free extra when you sign up which is a good option if you’ve got your eye on a new handset.
So, without further ado, here are the best Apple Music offers in the UK right now, plus all you need to know about how to get them.
