You are getting a 2-month Apple Music trial instead of 3 months because your Apple ID is not classified as a “new Apple Music subscriber.” This can happen if you ever used any Apple Music trial, carrier promo, Apple One trial, or device-based offer in the past.


Options:

  1. Contact Apple Support — they can sometimes override it
  2. Use a fresh Apple ID for the full 3 months
