During the year 2021, specifically in August, Apple announced that it had taken over the Primephonic classical music service, starting with rumors about the arrival of a classical music app in the pure style of the Cupertino company. At that time, the company indicated that, indeed, there could be some possibility of an application specialized in this type of music and it could arrive throughout 2022. However, and as we have already seen, the year ended without the app having been released to users.
Apple delays launch of its classical music app
Some time ago, the press release by Apple Newsroom 2021 It strongly pointed out that the classical music app would arrive from Apple Music by 2022. This app would combine the favorite features of the Primephonic service along with popular Apple tools. The main problem is that The company did not comment on what would happen to the app from that moment, so even today the situation for 2023 is not known.
After the acquisition by Apple, Primephonic stopped offering its service in September 2021. Its subscribers received six months of free use of Apple Music as compensation. In case the application allegedly named as “Apple Classical” arrives, this would be the replacement for Primephonic. The original subscribers would now be users who have the correct space for classical music in the Beethoven and Mozart style.
During 2022 there were some clues that pointed to the appearance of Apple Classical. References existed in the beta versions of Apple Music on Android and the iOS 15.5 beta. Similarly, signals to the app were also found in an XML file.
Apple mentioned that it would bring the best options and features that Primephonic offered such as the “best composer and directory search and navigation capabilities”, among other visual improvements in terms of metadata of this genre. youperhaps combining all the processes they are looking for are something that requires even more time than Apple plans for the classical music app.
In conclusion, until now there are no clear plans that indicate what Apple plans in Apple Classical, not even if it could arrive during 2023 or even if the company decided to finalize its plans.
