Apple lancerede forleden sit bud på en musikstreamingstjeneste,
Apple Music.
$9.99 pr. måned, 3 måneders gratis trial, kommer den 30. juni sammen med iOS 8.4
Lidt om hvad det kunne betyde for Spotify:
Citat:
“Apple Music is clearly aimed at on-demand streaming king Spotify, even matching the $9.99/month price for Spotify’s ad-free Premium subscription,” Alex Fitzpatrick reports for TIME Magazine. “What Spotify offers that Apple Music doesn’t is a free version, which has a more limited feature set and jams your jams with ads every few songs.”
“But that free tier could actually be a massive disadvantage for Spotify. Only about about 15% of Spotify’s 60 million users pay for the service, but their subscription fees make up around 90% of the company’s revenue,” Fitzpatrick reports. “If Apple converts enough of Spotify’s paid users, it could totally decimate Spotify’s business.”
Fitzpatrick reports, “But the biggest advantage Apple Music will have is even simpler than all that: It will be automatically installed when iPhone users upgrade to iOS 8.4 later this month, while iPhones sold with that software on board will have the app pre-installed.”
