It looks like Apple is planning to end the competition come 2015
With the steady growth of streaming services such as Spotify, Soundcloud or even Rhapsody, competition has a been bit stiff for Apple. Interesting enough, with their new plan shaping to take place in 2015, it could be the first of many re-branding ideas for the company.
According to The Financial Times, as early as March 2015 owners of iPhone’s and iPad’s will now have the Beats Music subscription part of their iOS software. In a valiant effort to get Apple music buyers to try the streaming service, Apple plans to make Beats Music monthly subscriptions accessible with Apple Pay. In an arena dominated mostly by Spotify, Apple will start streaming services at $9.99 per month and $99.99 per year. Apple is known for being a giant among the phone and laptop arena, we’ll have to pay close attention to see if they can compete in the streaming world.
