After a bit of a wait, Apple Music Classical is now available for Android phones. We knew it was coming – we reported on code in an Apple Music beta back in early 2022 – but I didn't think it would take quite so long to arrive. And it's interesting that Apple has made it available for Android before bringing it to the iPad or the Mac, presumably because the Primephonic service Apple bought to make its classical app already had an Android version.
As with the iPhone version, the Apple Music Classical is its own app rather than a tab in Apple Music. It streams at up to 24-bit/192kHz lossless audio, it's ad-free, and it's free to anyone with an Apple Music subscription (but not Apple Music Voice) or Apple One. If you have compatible headphones you can also access some tracks in spatial audio.
