The iPhone 4 was released on June 24, 2010. Despite the passage of a decade, many users are still using the iPhone 4 as a dedicated music player, an iPod replacement or a backup phone. Many users wonder if Apple Music can be used on their iPhone 4. If yes, how. In this article we specifically highlight Apple Music supported devices, and point out how to listen to Apple Music offline on iPhone 4. I believe you will find what you want here.

Apple Music has access to a total of 50 million songs. Content can be streamed or downloaded for offline playback, as well as a selection of Beats 1 radio stations and song and genre-based radio stations. Apple Music is a subscription-based service that allows users to download songs for offline listening through a free 3-month trial or an individual plan for $ 9.99 per month, and a family plan for $ 14.99 per month. You can save favorite songs, albums, playlists on iPhone offline by subscribing to an account. I have to say that some smart users can get a 6-month free Apple Music trial.

Will it be possible to play Apple Music on iPhone 4?

Many users are looking forward to using Apple Music on iPhone 4, but unfortunately they do not get what they want. Apple claims that Apple Music requires iOS 8 or later, while the iPhone 4 can only be updated to iOS 7, which is not compatible with the Apple Music app. People also ask: How to Keep Apple Music after canceling subscription.

How to Listen to Apple Music on iPhone 4

Apple Music songs come with DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection, which restricts you from listening to Apple Music songs on iPhone 4. Although you downloaded Apple Music songs and transferred them to iPhone 4, you cannot play DRM-protected Apple Music songs on non-Apple music players.
