How to find your Apple Music Replay

28 November 2023

Illustration by Samar Haddad / The Verge I am a devoted Apple Music user, and you will pry the service out of my cold, dead hands. Still, I’ve spent the past few Decembers incredibly jealous of the sea of Spotify rewinds that populated my friends’ social media profiles.

We spent time at a gene bank, home to a new generation of [...]
