Non-subscribers who open the Apple Music app on a new iPhone or iPad typically see an offer for a free month of the service. The trial was once three times as long, but Apple quietly shortened it in early 2022. But now through September 23, anyone new to Apple’s music streaming service will get to try it out for free for three months. The deal only applies to first-time subscribers; if you’ve never succumbed to the music app’s temptation, now is as good a time as any to check it out. Just keep in mind that the service will automatically renew for $11 per month after the trial ends. Be sure to cancel if you don’t want to pay.
Apple Music has a lot to offer. It’s currently our top recommendation in our guide to the best music streaming services. We like its approach to recommendations, balancing a good amount of editorial playlists and stations with algorithmic suggestions. Every song is available at CD-quality or better and lossless streaming doesn’t cost extra.
For computer-picked listening, there’s a “Discovery Station” that helps you find new music by playing songs you’ve never streamed before, both from artists you know and others the algorithm thinks you’ll like. And, in my experience, saying, “Hey Siri, play me some Apple Music,” produces pretty good mix of stuff I like that’s novel enough to be interesting, but not so familiar I’m sick of hearing it.
There are a few caveats to note about the service: It’s really made for Apple devices, though its available on Android devices too. You won’t find podcasts on Apple Music. And, aside from this deal, there’s no free version of Apple Music. Pay your $11 monthly or listen elsewhere.
As for the deal, we’ll restate that it’s only for new subscribers — previous subscribers and even those who’ve had access to Apple Music through a Family plan aren’t eligible. You also have to sign up using the Apple Music app on an iPhone, Mac or iPad running the latest software. An Apple ID is also required. You can read all terms of the deal here.

In the twilight realm where magic weaves through the fabric of reality, MysticSage stands as a guardian of ancient wisdom and protector of the enchanted. Born under the celestial convergence of arcane energies, her destiny was inked in the stars, guiding her on a path filled with mystic secrets and arcane lore. With hair as silver as moonlight and eyes that hold the depth of the universe, she commands the elements with a whisper and bends the arcane to her will.
MysticSage's journey began in the hidden groves of Eldoria, a land where magic pulses with the heartbeat of the earth. Trained by the Archmages of the Crystal Tower, she mastered spells that could mend wounds or rend the skies asunder. Yet, her power is not wielded for destruction, but for balance. She seeks the harmony between the seen and unseen, guarding against those who would tip the scales towards chaos.
Her attire, a robe of dark green adorned with golden symbols, is not just protection but a badge of her achievements and mastery over the arcane. The crystal pendant at her neck and the staff she carries are not mere trinkets but conduits of her immense power, glowing with the essence of magic she commands.
MysticSage is no mere wanderer; she is a seeker of truths, hidden in the shadowed corners of the world or whispered by the wind. Her wisdom is sought by kings and commoners alike, for she holds knowledge lost to the ages. With her spellbook, a tome of ancient wisdom, she unveils mysteries long forgotten, and with her staff, she illuminates the darkest nights.
Her journey is one of discovery, not only of the world around her but of the strength within. MysticSage walks the thin line between light and dark, ever vigilant against the creeping shadows. Yet, she is not alone. In her heart, the spirit of adventure thrives, guided by the bonds of friendship and the camaraderie of those who walk the path of the hero.
"Through the veil of the unknown, wisdom and power emerge," she whispers to the stars. MysticSage, a beacon of light in the darkness, a shield against the night. Her tale is not just one of battles fought and won but of the heart's journey towards understanding the true essence of power: the courage to stand for what is right and the wisdom to wield her strength with compassion.
In the world of fantasy and beyond, MysticSage's legend grows, a testament to the magic that lives within us all, waiting to be awakened.
