Apple Music for Android Screenshots Leak

Apple Music is slated to arrive on Android this year, but you can get a peek at what the service will reportedly look like on Google's mobile platform now.

German site Mobile Geeks got its hands on what it claims are screenshots of Apple Music for Android. Based on the images (some of which are posted above), it appears that the Android version will feature the 24-hour Beats 1 radio station, a personalized music recommendations page, and the Apple Music Connect social network for musicians, among other features.

Android users will be able to browse Apple's full catalog of more than 30 million songs, according to 9to5Mac. They'll also reportedly get a special perk not available on iOS — the ability to set a limit for offline music storage, so it won't take up too much space on your device.

Apple Music debuted on June 30 alongside iOS 8.4 and costs $9.99 per month, with a $14.99-per-month family option that supports up to six people. In the months since its launch, the service has racked up 6.5 million paying subscribers; as of last week, another 8.5 million were currently in the middle of the service's three-month trial.

Apple Music for Android will be Apple's second Android app. Its first, dubbed "Move to iOS," helped you quit Android.

About Our Expert

Managing Editor, Consumer Electronics

My Experience

I'm PCMag's managing editor for consumer electronics, overseeing an experienced team of analysts covering smart home, home entertainment, wearables, fitness and health tech, and various other product categories. I have been with PCMag for more than 10 years, and in that time have written more than 6,000 articles and reviews for the site. I previously served as an analyst focused on smart home and wearable devices, and before that I was a reporter covering consumer tech news. I'm also a yoga instructor, and have been actively teaching group and private classes for nearly a decade.

Prior to joining PCMag, I was a reporter for SC Magazine, focusing on hackers and computer security. I earned a BS in journalism from West Virginia University, and started my career writing for newspapers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

The Technology I Use

My little Florida beach bungalow is brimming with smart home tech. I have a smart speaker or display in every room, allowing me to control other connected devices by voice. The Nest Hub on my bedside table lets me set wake-up alarms, control my smart light bulbs, and set the temperature on my smart thermostat. I use the Amazon Echo Show 8 on my kitchen counter to browse recipes, reorder protein powder, check the weather, and watch the news while I do dishes.

Because I suffer from allergies, air purifiers are essential. My favorite model is the Dyson Purifier Cool TP07, which doubles as a fan and continuously sends indoor pollution data to its companion mobile app.

My pitbull Bradley sheds, so a good robot vacuum is a must. I currently use a premium Ecovacs Deebot that can both vacuum and mop, empty its own dustbin, and wash its own mop cloth.

For fitness, I like to mix up my routine with cycling, indoor rowing, running, and strength training in addition to yoga. I take classes on the Tonal 2 smart strength training machine, I row indoors on an Aviron machine, and track my beach runs with an Apple Watch while listening to music on my Apple AirPods Pro. On the weekends, I love riding e-bikes like the rugged, beach-friendly Aventon Aventure for fun and fitness.

My job involves a lot of virtual meetings, so a quality webcam, microphone, and ring light are important. I use the Jabra PanaCast 20 webcam, the Elgato Wave: 3 microphone, and a Yesker tripod ring light.

As for my preferred phone platform, I'm an iPhone person, but I've also extensively used Android for product testing.
