ear's Song Landed in Apple's Newest iPhone Launch — Tour Kicks Off Saturday at a New York Heliport

ear's first song, "nerve," was recorded on an iPhone in a college library. Two years later, Apple used ear's music in the unveiling of its newest iPhone lineup. The news surfaced via an Instagram post from medicineboxx, which also announced that ear's tour will kick off Saturday at a heliport in New York.

From a library iPhone to an Apple keynote

The original recording conditions for "nerve" were bare-bones: a college library, and whatever iPhone was on hand. Two years on, that same phone maker's product launch featured ear's music on screen.

The Instagram post called the journey "wild." — from a library recording to one of the biggest product launches in the world, in the span of two years.
