How the Free Trials Work

Apple has free trials for 3 months or even 6 months or more. Apple also has plans for Apple Music which are cheaper for students or other types of subscription.

If you buy an iPhone, you get 3 months of free Apple Music free trial subscription. Also an iPad from what is understood, but that part is not fully certain.

If you already have an account, how it works may be different. If you already had a free trial, getting another one is probably not possible.

If you buy Apple headphones or earphones, then you get a 6 months free trial.

Step 1: Check for the Free Trial Notification

If you have a free trial available with your purchase, if it is an iPhone or earphones, you will see it in the Settings on your iPhone.

You will see this under General and you will see a notification that you have the free trial available.

Step 2: Accept the Terms

Accept the conditions. You have to enter your card details.

Step 3: Set a Calendar Reminder

Set a calendar reminder if you do not want to pay for it, if you want to make sure that you cancel it on time.

When trying to cancel the trial immediately after subscribing, it said that access to Apple Music would be lost in that moment. So you have to set a calendar reminder a few days before the trial expires so you can cancel it.

It is easy to cancel it.

• Go to your profile and you can see the free trial.
• From here, go to Account Settings.
