Although not announced for iOS 16.3, there is more Apple Music Classical code within the beta and it is being changed as the service gets closer.
Apple’s recent developer beta of iOS 16.3 was a release candidate and is expected to be released publicly next week. There are no signs that the delayed Apple Music Classical will be included, but there are signs that work is still ongoing on the service.
With iOS 16.3 RC, Apple modified and added some strings in the Music app on top of the now renamed Apple Music Classical (it was just Apple Classical until 16.3 beta 2). It seems they are still working on it. pic.twitter.com/TCJwlFTGye

It’s not correct that the service was recently called Apple Music Classical, as the iOS beta code in September 2022 called it that as well. But the code is changing between beta versions, which means it’s still being worked on.
Apple has not commented on these code snippets, nor on its previous commitment to launch by the end of 2022. It made that commitment in August 2021, when Apple bought classical music streaming service Primephonic.
