The latest tidbit from MacRumors:

"On March 2,Β Apple sent out invitesΒ for its "Peek Performance" spring event, which is set to take place on March 8. The company is expected to unveil theΒ third-generation iPhone SE, theΒ fifth-generation iPad Air, aΒ redesigned high-end Mac mini, and aΒ refreshed 13-inch MacBook Pro.

Software updates such as iOS 15.4 also seem to be on the cards and the launch of Apple Classical seems to fit quite well with the company's other expected announcements for the event, but there is yet to be concrete evidence suggesting that this will occur. "

More MacRumors, based on references to the β€œnew app designed for classical music” embedded in the beta version of the next iOS, 15.5.

So it seems that Apple Classical is still imminent, but less speculation this time about exactly when it might be released!

@jen I saw an article which speculated that a future Apple event (in June I think) might include an announcement about a future release of Apple Classical. 😣

Indeed, it might be released in June, or earlier, or in the autumn πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ. Β I’m optimistic that itΒ willΒ be released, perhaps in 2022, but just as well none of us are holding our breath!

Well,I just purchased a year on Idagio after my 6 free months ran out, but I am going to remain cautiously optimistic about the Apple classical...

I think that the June Event, where some people speculated that there might be an announcement about classical music, happened yesterday. However, so far as I can see from googling, there was nothing that might interest us. πŸ™

Here's my hopeful spin on that: This event was the Developer's Conference, so it usually focuses on hardware and platforms that are open to developers - things they can write software for or create accessories for. The Fall 2022 event tends to be more consumer focused. I cling to faint hope that we'll hear something then.

This has indeed been a prolonged affair. Perhaps it shows how inept Apple technicians actually are. How difficult can it be to fold an existing, very successful platform under a new umbrella? Surely no a year’s worth of effort (or lack of)?

It looks like it actually may happen in our life time: https://apple.news/Ap0K8rOAZTZmQ5l3z6QmtAw

An eagle-eyed Twitter user has spotted that the letter on the Primephonic home page has been updated this week to remove mention of Apple launching a new classical product "next year" i.e. in 2022 (see: here).Β  I'm hoping that this is evidence of some administrative tidying up prior to launching the new service but I'm not holding my breath. There's rumoured to be an Apple spring event in mid to late March so perhaps we'll get further news then.Β

Let us pray it is as good as the original and not some cheap imitation.

Android app still "in the works." Let's hope it won't be long.

I read somewhere that there's no extra charge for Apple Music subscribers. I hope this is true because I would miss being able to listen occasionally to pop, comedy, musicals, etc.
