However, slow Apple Music streaming issues can now be a thing of the past. Keep reading and see a simple solution for your streaming woes.
Quick answer
Should you have a backup 4G, 5G, Starlink, or cable internet connection?
Yes — every internet connection goes down, including Starlink, which drops for ~34 minutes a day on average. A backup connection from a different provider means one outage never takes you fully offline. The most common options are a 4G/5G cellular hotspot, a cable or DSL line, or a second satellite dish.

Why is Apple Music Slow?
It is easy to blame the Apple Music app for slow streaming. But, the true cause of the problem is trickier. Your iPhone or iPad is the real culprit. By default, iOS devices do not take full advantage of all the bandwidth available to them. Instead, they only use a single Internet connection at a time. They are either connected via Wi-Fi or via mobile data.
This means that data intensive apps, like Apple Music, don’t have enough bandwidth to run smoothly when there are signal fluctuations or when you are moving between Wi-Fi networks. The Apple Music servers are delivering the requested data without an issue, but it is not getting to your device because of a bottleneck created by the way iPhones and iPads connect to the Internet.
3 Steps to Fix Slow Apple Music Streaming
Speedify changes the way your iPhone and iPad devices connect to the Internet. If you want to solve your slow Apple Music streaming problems all you need to do is follow these three steps:
- Download Speedify from the AppStore.
- Run Speedify.
- Leave Speedify running in the background while you enjoy Apple Music.
You don’t need any special technical skills or knowledge. If you can download an app, you can use Speedify.
Speedify Fixes Slow Apple Streaming on Your iPhone and iPad
Speedify works by changing the way your iOS device connects to the Internet. Instead of just using one connection at a time, Speedify allows your device to be connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi and mobile data at the same time. This increases your bandwidth and eliminates the bottleneck.
Speedify also carefully monitors the quality of your connections. If it detects a connection is becoming unstable or unreliable, it reroutes all the data through the remaining connection. This auto failover happens without you having to do anything.
Speedify is a fast bonding VPN service. It was engineered to be fast, secure, and reliable. The app encrypts your data, keeps you safe from hackers and snoops, and delivers a fast internet experience.
The app also uses smart technology that allows it to not impact your battery life. It also knows to route as much data as possible over Wi-Fi, instead of a more expensive mobile data connection.
If you want to solve your slow Apple Music issues forever, and also enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your personal data is protected, you need the Speedify app.
