There\u2019s no designated gift card for Apple Music, so you\u2019ll have to buy a regular Apple gift card, but that\u2019s not a bad thing, as it means they can also use the card to buy the latest set of AirPods.<\/div>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/chorus\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25184873\/Apple_Gift_Card_image.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Apple-Apple_Standard_200-eGift-Card\/dp\/B0FQN3TDHP\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> $25 at <strong>Amazon<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/product\/25-apple-gift-card-app-store-apple-music-itunes-iphone-ipad-airpods-accessories-and-more-digital\/J33V3X85TF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> $25 at <strong>Best Buy<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/buy-giftcard\/giftcard\/25-dollars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> $25 at <strong>Apple<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For the audiophiles out there, a <strong>Tidal gift card<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/Tidal-20-Gift-Card-Email-Delivery\/668778621\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walmart<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/us\/gifts\/brands\/tidal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PayPal<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/product\/tidal-60-gift-card\/J33V3X8XH5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Buy<\/a>) is great because it lets them stream music at the highest audio quality.
