Apple Music Classical has almost here – and it promises to take music streaming to the next level for classical
The long-rumored Apple Music Classical app has finally been given an official launch date – with the new app promising to offer the world’s largest classical music catalog.
Apple Music Classical will launch on March 28 and will surprisingly be available for Apple Music subscribers on both iOS and Android, with the latter apparently “coming soon”. Naturally, iPhone owners will get to give it a listen first, as long you’re running iOS 15.4 or later.
Apple’s new app, which you can ‘pre-order’ now on the App Store (opens in new tab), is separate from its existing Apple Music app, but still requires an Apple Music subscription. Once you’ve pre-ordered, the Apple Music Classical will apparently automatically download at launch.
For fans of symphonies and orchestral music, it promises to be a real treat with over five million tracks and, according to Apple, “thousands of exclusive albums”. Even better, if you have a solid set of speakers or a pair of the best headphones, Apple is promising thousands of recordings in spatial audio and 192 kHz/24-bit Hi-Res Lossless sound quality.
