Apple Music now offers student discount

Apple Music is cutting down its prices for the students to cost US$4.99 (around $6) per month, which is also the price Spotify offers students. What Apple is emphasizing here though is that the Spotify discount only lasts for 12 months, while Apple Music will offer the discounted rate for four years after sign up. Of course, you need to verify your enrollment status once you sign up.

At the moment, the offer is available to students in the U.S., U.K., Germany, Denmark, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. It’s rolling out throughout the day so Apple might be bringing it to your area soon.
