Apple is offering new and “eligible” U.S. subscribers six months of Apple Music for just $2.99, now through Feb. 27. The deal significantly extends Apple’s typical one-month free trial.
Why it matters: Apple Music competes with Spotify and YouTube Music, and this deep discount could attract more long-term subscribers. It also comes as Apple ramps up promotions ahead of the Super Bowl.
Who qualifies: Apple hasn’t specified who counts as “eligible” beyond first-time subscribers. If you’ve had Apple Music before, check the offer page in the app or on Apple’s website to see if you qualify.
How to redeem: The offer is available through the Home tab in the Apple Music app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac running the latest software.
What’s next: The subscription automatically renews at $10.99 per month after six months unless you cancel.
The big picture: Apple Music is the official sponsor of the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show, headlined by Kendrick Lamar.
Apple is promoting the event across its platforms, featuring exclusive halftime content in the Apple Music app, a Super Bowl hub in Apple News, and Lamar’s music in Apple Fitness+ workouts.
