Apple Music is Apple’s newest shiny toy in the music department. As far as music streaming services go, the recently launched Apple Music certainly has plenty to offer, and even adds an online 24/7 radio station plus a social feature that allows users to connect with their favorite musical artists.
After a very public protest from pop music superstar Taylor Swift, Apple has decided to announce that it will be paying royalties to musical artists during Apple Music's free trial.
Apple recently unveiled Apple Music during the recent Worldwide Developers Conference held in the city of San Francisco. Officially announced together with iOS 9, the newest version of Apple's iOS mobile operating system, Apple Music is the company's first ever music streaming subscription service. Upon its launch, it should contend with other music streaming subscription services offered by Spotify, Pandora, and Tidal.
When it comes to music streaming services, well established names -- like Spotify, Pandora, and do not forget Apple's offering which will reportedly debut a few days from now -- are hugging all the limelight. Meanwhile, iHeartRadio has quietly built its own user base, which remarkably now number 70 million registered users.
As reported by the Wall Street Journal, Apple is indeed announcing a new music streaming service next week, and it will offer unlimited access to songs at $10 a month. The new service's setup will reportedly be similar to Spotify's in terms of functionality and capabilities.
The Apple brand is back at the top. At least according to a report called the BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands recently published by advertising firm WPP and market research firm Millward Brown. This report aims to rank the top brands of the world according to their value based on a combination of market data and surveys from customers.
Apple is on a constant mission to always improve on its mobile operating system, iOS, in every version it releases to the masses. iOS 9 will surely be no exception, and upon its release, we can expect the usual talk about debugging technical issues and enhancing system stability. Of course, there will be some new features too. But perhaps the most intriguing thing is that Apple is reportedly working to improve support for older iOS running devices, particularly older models of iPhones and iPads, even those that are not being sold in stores anymore.
A year ago during the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), Apple introduced HomeKit, a protocol for connecting Apple devices to various third party smart home gadgets and accessories. But since that time, the tech giant has been rather quiet in discussing any HomeKit related stuff.
But just very recently, Apple revealed that HomeKit-enabled devices will arrive in stores beginning in June. This means that in a few weeks, users will finally get to experience first hand what the company's home tech connectivity protocol is really all about.
Apple has recently announced that it will be working with all of its manufacturing partners in China in order to run its entire business operations there on renewable energy. The company has not provided any exact timeline for this plan, but it did convey that the whole process of converting all of its operations to go green will take some considerable time.
