My Apple Music free trial shows the wrong start date on iPhone

Hi Flanagan_bv

welcome to this Apple (user-to-user) Community!

Re: Wrong Apple Music trial start date

Am thinking there may be a misunderstanding here because of International time zones

You've likely heard of someone taking a plane trip one day, and reaching the destination on the day before ?

There would be quite a time difference between your location in Italy and Apple in USA

Eg: I just searched online and it said Italy time is 6 hours ahead Washington

So if it was just after midnight on July 11 where you were, it would be 6 hours earlier in Washington USA, that is the day before, July 10 still 6 hours to go till midnight

So it seems when the subscription runs out in USA time, you would still have that 6 hours left in Italy

Thank you kindly for your reply; no worries ... time zones easily confuse many of us.

Seems we always need to cancel a free trial at least 24 hours before its expires, if we do not want to continue with it. (This is in order to not be charged automatically for the next, and following subscription periods, until we cancel the subscription.)

If needed: See the tips in: How to cancel Apple Music - Apple Support

All the best :-)

Flanagan,

If you get near the end of your 3 month trial and decide to cancel, I suggest you do so several days in advance. Waiting right to the last moment and hoping that there will be no confusion about time zones, processing intervals, etc., is just asking for trouble.
