One of the most notable things about Apple Music is that it’s one of the very, very few apps from Apple that’s available on both Android (soon) and iOS, but that may change in the near future. According to a recent job listing from Apple, the company is looking for engineers that can help the company “bring exciting new mobile products to the Android platform.” We’re not sure what kind of apps the company will be bringing over to Android, but this is definitely one of the most unexpected Apple-related bits of news I’ve heard in a while.

Apple’s first pair of applications for Android, Apple Music and Move to iOS, may be the start of Apple opening up even further to Google’s mobile platform. According to a new job listing on Apple’s website, the Cupertino-based company is “looking for engineers to help [Apple] bring exciting new mobile products to the Android platform.” The presence of the word “new” seems to indicate that Apple’s plans go beyond the already announced Apple Music and Move to iOS apps… The Apple Music application for Android is already well into development and is scheduled for release this fall. We’re told that Apple is already preparing to seed a private beta of the application to a “very small subset” of the existing Beats Music Android user base. Additionally, Apple’s earlier Android job listings specifically mentioned work on the Beats/Apple Music apps. Apple’s Move to iOS application is on target for the fall launch of iOS 9, and it allows Android users to more easily switch to the iPhone.
