Apple is expected to unveil its next iPhone model in September of this year, and since 2015 is an S year (a year in which the company releases an iPhone S model), we will likely see a new smartphone that basically retains the same design as last year’s iPhone 6, but with new enhancements in interior components and even software features.
It appears that music subscription services such as the recently launched Apple Music and Spotify will not slow down the growth of ad based music streaming services (sometimes referred to as freemium music streaming services), at least according to data collected by Juniper Research.
Apple just published figures pertaining to the growth of its App Store, and the numbers are pretty impressive. The iPhone maker revealed that it had its biggest volume of transacting customers with more than $1.7 billion in billings during the month of July this year. The company also added that it set new records for the Chinese market, too, which made up the biggest percentage of transacting customers.
To date, Apple’s new music streaming subscription service, Apple Music, already has attracted 11 million trial users. Those are pretty remarkable numbers, considering that the service has only been activated for barely over a month.
Xiaomi lost its number one spot to Apple during the first quarter of 2015, but during the following quarter, the Chinese phone maker managed to regain its lead over the iPhone maker.
It has only been weeks since Apple Music was made available to the public (Apple released its new music streaming subscription service back in June 30th of this year), and already a member of the United States Senate has already expressed some concerns that the service could turn into something that will annihilate all competition.
It has not been a full month yet since Apple officially launched Apple Music, the company’s brand new music streaming subscription service. But during a recent earnings call, the tech giant’s chief executive officer, Tim Cook, is already announcing that millions of people are already using the service.
While many businesses are still trying to figure out how best to take advantage of the release of the Apple Watch (especially in terms of how they can come up with an app that can exploit the Apple smartwatch’s capabilities), Hulu has found its answer, and it is quite interesting to say the least.
It appears that Apple’s iPhones are continuing to sell tremendously well. But as for the tech giant’s other mobile device offering, the iPad, it seems that sales of the tablet has decreased 18 percent year over year during the last quarter of the previous year. Furthermore, iPad sales may have already hit a plateau, at least according to findings from a new study conducted by Forrester Research.
Smartphones may not be selling as well as before. Sure, the market for smartphones had a really good showing by the time the year 2014 ended, but recent developments indicate that 2015 may end up as a down year for smartphones.
