Apple Music: 3 Months Free on the Family Plan (New Subscribers)
Apple Music is offering new subscribers three free months of the Family Plan — a saving of about $51. After the trial ends, the subscription auto-renews at $16.99/month. The offer must be redeemed on eligible devices and requires setting up Family Sharing.
Key Details
- Offer: 3 months free for new Apple Music Family Plan subscribers
- Price after trial: $16.99 per month (auto-renews until cancelled)
- Users: Up to 6 family members, each with their own Apple ID and personalized library
- Requirements: New subscribers only; redeem on eligible devices; Family Sharing must be enabled
Why it’s worth considering
The Family Plan lets each member keep their own favorites and recommendations tied to their Apple ID, so one person’s listening won’t skew another’s algorithm. Apple Music offers CD-quality (and higher) tracks, curated playlists, live radio stations, and deep integration on Apple devices.
Small caveats
- The Android, web, and Windows clients aren’t as polished as iOS/macOS apps.
- Payouts to artists across streaming services remain a broader industry issue; Apple Music currently pays more per stream than some competitors, but that’s relative.
How to redeem
- Open the Apple Music app on an eligible device (iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc.).
- Select the Family Plan offer and follow the signup steps. You may be asked to set up Family Sharing if you haven’t already.
- Cancel before the trial ends if you don’t want to be charged.
