Apple debuted Apple Music earlier this year, and along with that said an Android version is coming down the line, set to launch this fall.
While Apple was more than happy to tease the upcoming arrival of Apple Music on Android, after the event finished, and Apple said that it would launch sometime in the fall of 2015, reports on the service for Google’s mobile operating system essentially died out. But that’s changed now, thanks to new screenshots of the service running on Android coming to the surface.
They were originally published by MobileGeeks.de, and the images look legitimate enough. They certainly match what Apple showed off on stage, even as these new images show off a little more detail. As 9to5Mac points out there are some key differences, though, including Apple opting for Android users to select how much cache is used on their device for downloading offline tracks.
Apple Music won’t strictly follow Google’s guidelines for design, either, at least not entirely. At the same time, Apple Music isn’t strictly just an iOS clone, aesthetically, to the one that will be available on Android later this year, either. The “For You” section, though, is the spitting image from the iOS app. Navigating the app has been shifted, though, away from the tabs on the bottom of the screen as is present in the iOS app, to a slide-out sidebar that’s so common in Android apps.
Unfortunately, while the screenshots give us a good look at what Apple Music will allegedly look like on Android, there’s still no definitive word as to when the service will launch for Android users.
Are you looking forward to trying out Apple Music?
