Apple Music Classical is now available for iPad

Apple Music Classical, the company’s music app that focuses on classical music only, has reached version 1.1, and with it comes an important new feature: The app is now available for the iPad.

The iPad version of Apple Music Classical doesn’t have any outstanding new features, but the sheer fact that you can now experience the app on the iPad’s larger display makes it a worthwhile download for iPad owners.

Launched in March 2023 as a free download for Apple Music subscribers, Apple Music Classical is very similar to Apple Music. It has no additional content, but the focus is entirely on classical music, with curated playlists, composer biographies, detailed descriptions of classical works, and a search optimized for classical music.

Apple says that version 1.1 of the app also brings stability and performance improvements.

The app was originally launched only for the iPhone; now it’s available for the iPad (and iPod touch) as well, with the only requirement being iPadOS 15.4 or later. Curiously, the app is still not available for the Mac.

Apple Music is Apple’s subscription-based music service, starting at $10.99 per month. It boasts a directory of 100 million songs, 5 million of which are categorized as classical music.
