Apple Unveils New Apple Music Voice Plan, Optimized For Siri

Apple has announced the Apple Music Voice Plan–a subscription tier for Apple Music designed around the power of Siri. The new plan gives subscribers access to Apple Music’s catalog of 90 million songs, tens of thousands of playlists, and the award-winning Apple Music Radio all through Siri for $4.99 per month.

Users can subscribe through Siri by saying “Hey Siri, start my Apple Music Voice trial,” or by signing up through the Apple Music app. Once subscribed, users can play music across all of their Siri-enabled devices, including HomePod mini, AirPods, iPhone, or any other Apple device, and when using CarPlay.

“Apple Music and Siri are natural partners and already work seamlessly together,” comments Oliver Schusser, Vice President of Apple Music and Beats. “With Siri actively used on hundreds of millions of devices worldwide, we are thrilled to add this new plan that delivers an effortless music experience just by using your voice and makes Apple Music accessible to even more people around the world.”

Apple Music will also be adding many new mood and activity playlists that are optimized just for voice. Subscribers can ask Siri to “Play the dinner party playlist,” “Play something chill,” or even “Play more like this,” for a personalized music experience. The new playlists will be available for all Apple Music subscribers. Apple Music Voice Plan users will also have access to Apple Music’s entire lineup of playlists, including New Music Daily, Rap Life, Today’s Hits, Today’s Country, A-List Pop, R&B Now, and more.

The Apple Music Voice Plan will be available later this fall in 17 countries and regions, including Australia, Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
