Apple Music expands to four new countries

Apple today expanded Apple Music to four additional countries, bringing the service to a total of 172 countries and regions. Here are the details.

Apple Music comes to users in four new countries

As spotted by Aaron Perris on X, Apple today updated its Availability of Apple Media Services support page, adding Apple Music availability to Albania, Brunei, Burkina Faso, and Pakistan.

Perhaps not coincidentally, three out of the four new countries were also in Apple’s list of regions where iCloud+ now includes Apple TV and Apple Arcade at no extra cost, the exception being Brunei, where the Apple TV subscription service remains unavailable.

Today’s expansion also came alongside a significant update to the Apple Music app for Android, with version 7.0 entering beta with the Liquid Glass redesign, a new floating bottom navigation bar and mini-player, and more.

It also came after Apple rolled out Apple Pay support in India, as the company continues to expand the reach of its Services business into new markets, likely an attempt to address a slowdown in Services revenue growth.

Apple Music requires an active subscription. You can sign up for $11.99 per month, with 1 month free, or as part of the Apple One bundle.
