Apple has long recognized the importance of the student market, using education discounts to try to pull them into the company’s ecosystem with hardware purchases, and adding a student discount for Apple Music last year.
TechCrunch spotted the deal, which is $4.99/month – half the standard $9.99/month. For Prime Student members, the company offers the first six months for just $6, equivalent to just $1 per month. All students can get a 30-day free trial.
Apple Music’s student pricing was extended to 20 new countries last November, and is currently in the following countries:
- Austria
- Belgium
- Brazil
- Canada
- China
- Chile
- Colombia
- Finland
- France
- Hong Kong
- India
- Indonesia
- Italy
- Japan
- Mexico
- Netherlands
- Norway
- Switzerland
- Singapore
- South Africa
- Spain
- Sweden
- Thailand
- United Arab Emirates
Apple recently announced Daniel Caesar as this month’s Up Next artist, with documentary, Up Next session and Beats 1 interview. It is also trying to woo subscribers with some original video content, including Carpool Karaoke.
