The Apple Music Classical music app has been available for the past few months in all countries where Apple Music is available, except China, Japan, Korea, Russia, Taiwan and Türkiye. First released for iOS, the app is now also available for Android phones. It is not known why the service is not available in other countries, but it is an interesting option to make it available while the regular Apple Music app is still available.

To go over it, the app can be used with a regular Apple Music subscription, so it does not require an extra subscription or payment. Music Classical, as the name suggests, focuses specifically on classical music lovers. It centers on Primephonic, which Apple acquired in 2021. “We have a great love and deep respect for classical music, and Primephonic had become a favorite destination for classical music fans,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s Vice President of Apple Music and Beats.

“Together, we’re bringing new classical music features to Apple Music, and in the near future, we’ll deliver an exclusive music experience that will truly be the best in the world.” “Apple Music plans to launch a dedicated classical music app next year, where Primephonic will enrich the classic user interface that fans love so much with new features,” Apple said in a statement announcing the acquisition. The company is finally launching this app, even if it’s long delayed.

“Bringing the best of Primephonic to Apple Music subscribers is a huge development for the classical music industry,” said Thomas Steffens, co-founder and CEO of Primephonic. Thomas Steffens then stated the following: “Artists love the Primephonic service and what we’re doing in classical music, and now together with Apple we have the opportunity to bring the absolute best experience to millions of listeners. “We’re bringing classical music into the mainstream and connecting a new generation of musicians with future audiences.”
