According to hidden code discovered in iOS 16.3, which was scheduled to be released last year, Apple is reportedly working on a standalone classical music application.

According to IANS, the hidden code change was discovered by the Twitter account @iSWUpdate.

The iOS 16.3 software update is in the final stage of beta testing and is expected to be released to the public next week.

However, it is unknown whether or not the standalone application will be released.

According to the code, the tech giant has changed a line of text that will appear in the iPhone’s standard Music app from “A Shortcut to Apple Classical” to “Open in Apple Music Classical,” implying that the app’s name has been changed.

Another line of code stated, “Explore this artist in the classical music app.”

The company announced in August 2021 that it had acquired the classical music service Primephonic and planned to launch a dedicated classical music app in 2022.

However, the application has not been launched yet and the tech giant has remained silent on the plans.

The company promised to incorporate Primephonic’s best features, such as “better browsing and search capabilities by composer and repertoire” and “detailed displays of classical music metadata.”

According to the report, Primephonic will close in September 2021, and its subscribers will receive a free six-month Apple Music subscription.
