Apple announces the acquisition of classical music streaming service Primephonic

Apple announced that it has acquired classical music streaming service Primephonic.

The acquisition will bring about a significantly enhanced classical music experience with Primephonic playlists and exclusive audio content. In the next few months, Apple Music classical fans will have a dedicated experience such as better browsing and search features by composer and by repertoire, and detailed displays of classical music metadata.

Apple also plans to launch a dedicated classical music app next year. Primephonic will be taken offline from 7 September and is no longer available for new subscribers. Current Primephonic subscribers will get six months of Apple Music for free.
