So, Apple's announcement will focus on two things: music and Mac.

Start by further evolving your Apple Music experience.

Apple Music works with voice recognition assistant Siri to provide an easy and enjoyable music experience.

However, in addition to playing your own playlists, you may want to find the right music for each situation.

So Apple officially created new playlists for different moods and activities.

In addition, you can ask Siri to play playlists for each situation.

Along with this, a new subscription plan 'Voice Plan' was announced to encourage more people to use Apple Music. Voice Plan combines user voice instructions with Siri to make all Apple Music songs and playlist stations available on all Apple devices.

The price is $ 4.99 a month (about 570 yen).

The service is scheduled to be provided in Japan as well, and the service is scheduled to start in the latter half of autumn.

In addition to the previous individual plans and family plans ...

Voice Plan will be added. If you check the details of the plan, Voice Plan does not support spatial audio or lossless audio, and it can be used only on Apple terminals, so it seems that you can enjoy Apple Music at a lower price than other plans. In the case of the regular plan, you can also access Apple Music from the browser of your Windows PC and play it.
