Apple Music stealthily includes an interesting Easter egg for the classic iPod lovers. The new small software change makes for a nice nostalgic moment for those who are long term users of the service. The functionality isn't changed in any major way, just a small update for all users.
Hidden feature honors classic iPod era for loyal users
This is a sign that Apple is still including fun things to play with within their modern apps. Basically entertainment first.
The small software change is for Apple Music app on iOS and macOS platforms. The iPod Easter egg is something of a nod back to Apple iPod. Apple no longer makes it, but it's such a big part of their early history in digital music.
There's no detail about what the Easter egg actually is, or how to activate it. That's something that will be discovered.
Apple isn't sharing any technical details about this Easter egg. Instead, it's just a small software change. Not a big platform altering update.
Maybe some will find the Easter egg fun if they're into retro tech references. It's a nice little thing to chuckle at during their normal listening sessions.
Apple Music potentially getting lower cost subscription tiers was a previous report. There were some of the same balancing and stability aspects in the last Apple Music update we covered. The last Apple Music update we wrote about was all about pricing options. This time, it's just one feature (a hidden one).
The iPod Easter egg in Apple Music is confirmed by Apple. The exact details (how it works, how to trigger it) are unconfirmed. If you're into retro tech trivia stuff, perhaps you'll go looking for this. No official guide is available currently.
