Apple Classical, as the service appears to be called, is based on the app from Primephonic, a company Apple bought last year. That app has since been shut down with users told to use Apple Music instead until “early 2022”. Apple Classical is expected to look and work like the mainApple Musicapp, but it’ll be available separately and presumably for less money: Primephonic’s service cost about $2 per month less than Apple Music.
It was anticipated thatiOS15.4, which is currently in beta, will bring Apple Music Classical to theiPhonetoo, so this certainly lends credence to that.
It’s not uncommon for Apple Music on Android to be surprisingly different to iOS – not just with semi-secret mentions to a new service, but the Android app includes the option of auto-crossfading between tracks in a playlist, which the iPhone version has never offered. Not that we’re bitter or anything.
What’s new in widgets
The revised Apple Music widgets have been changed to make them more space-efficient and nicer to look at too: instead of the default reddish colour, the widgets now change to reflect the artwork of the track that’s playing, and the Apple Music Player is wider and longer.
