Apple Music Offering Six-Month Trial for Just $2.99 Through February

Apple is offering new and eligible subscribers in the US a six-month trial of Apple Music for a one-time payment of $2.99, available until February 27. The eligibility criteria are unclear, but those who have subscribed to Apple Music in the past can check the offer page on Apple's website to see if they qualify. The offer can be redeemed through the Apple Music app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac with the latest software. After the six-month trial, the subscription will automatically renew at the standard price of $10.99 per month unless cancelled. Apple is promoting this as the "best offer ever" for Apple Music. The offer coincides with Apple's sponsorship of the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show, featuring Kendrick Lamar. The Apple Music app features content related to Lamar's upcoming performance at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Lamar is also a featured artist in Apple Fitness+, and Apple News has launched a dedicated hub for Super Bowl LIX coverage. This limited-time offer provides an opportunity for new subscribers to try out Apple Music at a significantly discounted rate. The promotion is likely aimed at attracting new users to the platform and increasing engagement around the Super Bowl event.
