Since his debut in 2015, Apple Music has offered one of the free charmer trial periods in the streaming industry. As a customer for the first time, you can use the platform to listen to music for free up to three months before the company asks you to start paying. It no longer happens.

In the changes seen by Japanese Blog Mac Otakara and then reported by MacRumor, Apple now offers a free one-month free trial in many countries where services are available, including the US, Australia, Canada, England and Japan. You can already see changes reflected in the Apple Music website. “One month is free, then $ 9.99 per month,” US portal said when you visited.

At present, the price of Apple Music remains the same, with a $ 5 sound package per month as the most affordable way to access the track platform library. A wide change aligning apples with competitors such as Spotify, which, outside the promo, usually offers a one-month free trial to new customers.

While we might never know Apple’s official reason to shorten the trial, there is a good chance of the decision down to a simple economy. When the company first came out with Apple Music, it did not pay royalties for track users who streamed during their free trial period. Apple then famously changed the policy after Taylor Swift issued a letter that criticized the company. By shortening the trial period, the company can replace the cost of attracting new customers to the platform.
