Apple Music

Apple Music is Apple's subscription music streaming service with over 100 million songs, ad-free listening, lossless audio, Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, offline downloads, and live radio stations including Apple Music 1. It's available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, HomePod, Android, Windows, and web. Sign up via apple.com/apple-music. Activate ShopBack via the Apple Music merchant page to earn cashback on eligible new subscription sign-ups at the current published rate. For shoppers in Singapore, going through ShopBack Singapore before you pay at Apple Music is how part of what you spend comes back as Cashback.

Apple Music Singapore offers Individual, Family (up to 6 members), and Student (with verification) plans on monthly billing. There's also an Apple Music Voice plan on select markets and an annual pre-paid option on the Individual tier for a discount. Pricing is set in SGD and can change; verify current per-month pricing on apple.com/sg/apple-music before subscribing. ShopBack cashback applies to eligible new sign-ups at the current published rate on the Apple Music merchant page. Note: subscription prices are subject to Apple's regional pricing decisions.

Yes. Apple Music typically offers a 1-month free trial for new subscribers, with a longer 3-month or 6-month trial bundled with new Apple hardware purchases (iPhone, iPad, Mac, AirPods, HomePod) or via select carrier bundles. The trial requires a payment method on file and auto-renews to a paid subscription unless cancelled before trial end. Verify current trial length on apple.com/sg/apple-music before signup. ShopBack sign-up cashback typically triggers when the subscription converts to a paid billing cycle.

Spotify leads on discovery algorithms (Discover Weekly, Daylist), broader third-party device support, podcasts integrated in the same app, and a free ad-supported tier. Apple Music leads on lossless audio and Spatial Audio at no extra cost, integration with Apple ecosystem (Siri, HomePod, Apple Watch), and higher artist royalty rates historically. For discovery-first listeners or free-tier users, Spotify wins; for iOS ecosystem users and audiophiles who want lossless, Apple Music wins. Both are cashback-eligible via ShopBack when signed up through their respective merchant pages.

YouTube Music leads on music-video content, official artist channels, and integration with YouTube Premium (ad-free YouTube plus background play). Apple Music leads on lossless audio, curated editorial playlists, and Apple ecosystem tie-in. For heavy YouTube consumption, bundling with YouTube Premium via YouTube Music makes sense; for music-first listeners on iOS, Apple Music is more focused. Cross-check current pricing on each service's SG site before deciding.

Apple Music Singapore's catalog covers the vast majority of Western and international mainstream releases plus a broad Asian catalog (Chinese-language pop, K-pop, J-pop, Indonesian and Malay releases). Some region-locked or independently released tracks may not be available; the exact catalog varies over time as licensing agreements change. For local Singaporean and Southeast Asian independent releases, cross-check availability via the Apple Music app search before subscribing.

Apple Music Family plan supports up to 6 members sharing one subscription via Apple's Family Sharing feature. Each member gets a personal music library, recommendations, playlists, and downloads independent of the organiser. To set up, the family organiser enables Family Sharing in iCloud settings and invites members via Apple ID. Non-family members cannot share the Family plan. Verify current Family Sharing setup steps on apple.com/family-sharing before subscribing.

Apple One is Apple's bundle subscription combining Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and iCloud+ storage into a single monthly subscription across Individual, Family, and Premier tiers. The Premier tier adds Apple News+ and Apple Fitness+ where available. For users who already subscribe to two or more Apple services, Apple One typically saves money vs standalone plans. Verify current Apple One SGD pricing on apple.com/sg/apple-one before switching from standalone Apple Music. Note: not every service in Apple One is available in every country; Singapore availability varies.

For subscription streaming products, ShopBack pays a sign-up Cashback bounty when your new Apple Music subscription converts to a paid billing cycle through the ShopBack Apple Music merchant page. Click through from the ShopBack Apple Music merchant page and complete the apple.com/apple-music sign-up. Cashback tracks per the current published amount on the merchant page and typically confirms after the first paid billing cycle.

Cancellation is done via Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions on iOS, or via the Music app on macOS, and refunds for accidental subscription charges are handled via reportaproblem.apple.com. The ShopBack Singapore sign-up Cashback is based on the paid subscription you keep: if you cancel during the free trial or before the first paid billing cycle, the Cashback adjusts to match. Keep the paid subscription active and the sign-up Cashback confirms.

Yes. To earn cashback on a Apple Music transaction, you must sign up for a free ShopBack Singapore account at shopback.sg/signup and be logged in when you click through to Apple Music from the ShopBack merchant page. Cashback is credited to your ShopBack wallet in SGD and cannot be retroactively attached to a purchase made without an active ShopBack session. Account creation takes under a minute.
