Apple’s classical music app launched in most countries in March 2023, except for select markets like the above six countries. Russia and Turkey were also excluded from the initial launch, however, the company previously noted there would be future availability.
Additionally, Apple Music Classical was originally only an iOS-only app but arrived on Android devices this past summer.
