Apple Music Gives Students 50% Subscription Discount

Apple is offering students in select universities and colleges in the US, UK, Germany, Denmark, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand a 50 percent discount on subscription plans for its Music streaming service.

Apple is partnering with student verification service, UNiDAY(www.myunidays.com)  to ensure that users who are signing up for the discount program are actually enrolled at an eligible school. The reduced pricing should help Apple win a younger audience over to its platform from rival streaming services.

Although, prices for Apple Music plans vary by country, there is not a fixed international fee for students. Rather, they will be charged half of whatever the standard plan costs in the country they are studying in. That brings down the cost of a subscription to $4.99 in the US and £4.99 in the UK.
