Apple joined TikTok earlier this year to partner with some of its popular creators and release ads on the platform that showed off its new iPhone 12 mini. TikTok, in kind, also joined Apple Music and currently curates a number of playlists on Apple Music like viral, trending, and greatest hits that have become popular on the app.
Apple is running a similar offer with Shazam. For that promotion, users can nab five months of Apple Music for free if they are a new subscriber. Both offers are currently better than the three-month free trial that Apple offers itself.
