Apple Music free trial: how it works and what happens when it ends
Apple Music free trials are appealing, but they are not all the same. Apple offers different trial entry points for new subscribers, families, students, and sometimes for eligible new devices. The important part is that the trial still converts into a paid subscription unless you stop it in time.
What matters most
The details that usually decide what people do next.
Eligibility matters
Apple typically limits these offers to new or eligible subscribers, so prior subscription history can affect what appears.
It becomes paid unless you stop it
Like most subscription trials, Apple Music rolls into a paid plan once the trial ends unless you cancel beforehand.
