Part 1. Does Your Device Support Apple Music?

Before getting a subscription to Apple Music, it is best to know first the set of Apple Music devices and see if your device is one of those. Actually, a lot of people are being too regretful after subscribing to Apple Music only to find out that their device does not count on the devices that can access Apple Music. Let us see below the list of devices that you should take note of and consider when you are buying your new device for Apple Music streaming.

iPad, iPhone

If you had your iPad purchased in earlier times, then you probably have the first-generation models which do not support Apple Music at all. But if bought yours after the release of newer models, then you can listen to Apple Music without a problem. But not all of the models have the iOS version needed, but what is important is that they can be upgraded. The Apple Music devices under iPad include iPad Mini, iPad Pro and iPad Air.

To be capable of streaming Apple Music on iPhone devices, your system must be updated to iOS 8.4. If the iPhone you currently have is any from iPhone 3g, 3gs or 4, then you are definitely not capable of streaming your Apple Music favorites, since the highest iOS update released for iPhone 4, for example, is iOS 7.1.2 only. But if you have iPhone 4s, 5, 5c, 5s, 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, you can upgrade them into more upgraded versions because the default iOS system integrated is lower than the required.

On the other hand, in the latest Apple devices released in the market, you can stream Apple Music without any hassle or worry since its default iOS system is 9.0 which is higher than the needed. Just make sure that you have an active subscription to be capable of doing so.

Apple TV

In Apple TV models, only the 4th generation and TV 4k are able to stream Apple Music. This means that 1st, 2nd and 3rd generations of Apple TV do not support the Music app.

Apple Watch

Apple Watch is one of the Apple Music devices which support Apple Music streaming. All you have to do is to make sure that all the playlists or albums are synced into your watch. Fortunately, the syncing process would only consume a few minutes and is surely easy and convenient to do. Additionally, it's simple to save your favorite songs on Apple Watch. Just keep in mind that a single watch can only store up to 2 GB of data.

Mac and Windows

Apple Music is a built in app on Mac. But in order to stream Apple Music on a Windows computer, you have to download iTunes application. But talking about the device, Windows 11 along with the newest released models does support Apple Music app as well.

Android Devices

On Android devices, only on mobile phones are you capable to play Apple Music. This only means that you cannot utilize your tablets or Android TVs in playing the music from Apple. But of course, you have to get an Apple Music Android application in order to stream the music.

Gaming Consoles

Apple Music also can be accessed on PlayStation 5 and Xbox.

Smart Speakers

You can also play Apple Music on some speakers like Amazon Echo, Sonos and Google Nest.

Part 2. What Is The Best Device To Play Apple Music?

In this section, we are to tackle the specific types of devices that are mostly recommended in streaming your favorites in Apple Music. See the top xxxx devices to consider.

iPhone 11 and later

With iOS 16.2, Apple introduced Apple Music Sing, a feature in Apple Music that allows you to sing along to your favorite songs. It is currently available to all Apple Music subscribers worldwide. So, the best Apple Music devices that can be used are iPhone 11 and later which have a system version of iOS 16.2.

And the new iPad such as the 10th-generation iPad, has more good battery life, a good screen, and stereo speakers, so you can get the best music experience.

We all know that Apple Music is offering lossless audio for all users, but Apple's HomePod range of smart speakers do not support lossless. The Apple Music device under smart speakers is Amazon Echo Studio. The Studio, as a 3D audio smart speaker, was well suited to these high-quality sound formats because it could stream them directly over Wi-Fi, without Bluetooth from a phone getting in the way.
