There have been years of negotiations between EMI Group and Apple to make the songs available for download.
Ahead of an official announcement, the material appeared on iTunes stores this afternoon.
"The band that changed everything is now on iTunes," a message read.
Albums are available for £10.99 ($12.99). Double albums, such as The Beatles (also known as The White Album) are priced at £17.99 ($19.99).
Single tracks - the availability of which was previously thought to be an impediment to any deal regarding The Beatles' back catalogue, can also be purchased separately for £0.99 ($1.29).
A 'box set' is available for £125 ($149).
