  • By offering Apple takes the trend to Music subscribe to instead of buying it.
  • With iTunes, the group is indeed download leader. When streaming but determine providers like Spotify, Pandora or Deezer pace.
From Johannes Kuhn, San Francisco, and Helmut Martin-Jung

Nearly two hours the audience had been waiting since Tim Cook broke with the past. “The next chapter of the music,” the Apple CEO promised his audience and announced the streaming service Music to Apple. Music that is meant for Apple so far really only, MP3s for sale. Since 2003, Apple has music in iTunes on the corresponding iPod it was the first step in the new mobile world, which has now made the Group the multibillion-dollar giants

The Revolution came back then pretty therefore. – colorful, a little cuddly even. Practically it was in any case: on a portable player – so small that it would fit loosely into the shirt pocket – could be saving thousands of pieces of music. The one had to not get anywhere on crooked paths, you could quite legally, cheaply and buy good quality. When Apple. Not at Warner Music, Sony and the rest of them. When Apple.





developer conference WWDC ” Apple Music “to Spotify and Pandora competitors make

” Apple Music “is the music streaming service, will poach with Apple in the business of Spotify and other vendors. The “One More Thing” at the developer conference WWDC. With “News” Apple also presented a news app that will bring journalistic content easily on smartphones and tablets. Live Blog

However, the listening habits in the world have changed, the income from MP3 sales go back, instead, is the new buzzword streaming. The songs do not belong to one, you merely rents access to it over the net. With companies such as Pandora or Spotify long smaller players have begun to conquer this market, which is still at a volume of 1.6 billion euros in its infancy.



Apple has with music streaming initially not earn big money

offered for the introduction of Apple iPhone Music Group Therefore, a whole armada of Apple executives, artists such as the Nine-Inch-Nails frontman Trent Reznor or the rapper Drake a – and of course the usual overwrought phrases. A “revolutionary music service” promised Jimmy Iovine, who founded together with the rap music legend Dr.Dre Beats Electronics, the company that Apple bought last year for three billion dollars -. And his team behind Beats

What customers get from the end of June for just under ten dollars per month, but is anything but revolutionary and is barely on Spotify and Co.. A private radio station with prominent DJs, better maintained Artist pages and integration with the personal assistant Siri to convince the users. Unlike its competitors Apple must earn no large sums, but also ensure that the iTunes music catalog from dust and you stay up to date with music streaming first. The electronics group with its gigantic cash reserves by now almost $ 200 billion, it could afford it pay off for some time even – as long as he continues so magnificently earned his driving force, the iPhone



acquisition of Beats Apple wants to buy coolness

Three billion dollars can cost Apple the company beats. But with the announcement of the deal suggests Apple CEO Tim Cook that this actually did not go to him to the popular headphones.

For Apple a streaming service is therefore an interesting additional offer, no matter of survival as for the pure streaming provider. This must still struggling to assert itself can.

At the market leader Spotify hear 60 million users regularly pure, most however in the free, financed by advertisements offering. Only 15 million Spotify users have completed a paid subscription and paid monthly to the ten euros.

Apple, however, has on its iTunes store already the payment data of 800 million users. For them it would be just one click to complete a subscription to the Apple streaming service. With three free trial months they are now to be lured, in autumn also appears an Android app. All this shows that even the radiant Apple Group has lost some of its luster. No longer he is the one who rolls up the market with a revolutionary product, he just trying to get a foothold there, where others are already headed.





Break in digital music streaming for mass market

New figures show the upheaval in the digital music business: streaming sites like Spotify are growing rapidly, while the number of commercial music downloads shrinks. Much to the annoyance of many musicians.

“News” app as a platform for publishers and broadcasters

The same can be with other novelties of Monday watching: The update of the mobile operating system iOS and the Mac OS X system (“El Capitan”) received only minor changes, including to the iPhone battery last longer. That Siri can now better understand the context of a user, is reminiscent of the recently introduced Google Releases Android Assistant Google Now. With the app “News”, the Group intends to open publishers and broadcasters with a platform for their content on smartphones and tablets.

The look is reminiscent of the app Flipboard, the principle is similar to what recently Facebook “Instant Articles “announced. And even the new tablet features resemble amazing detail of the surface, as it has built into its Windows System Microsoft. And even the navigation feature for the iOS maps there when rivals Google for a long time.

Even when SmartWatch theme Apple came out with its product relatively late to the market. At least in San Francisco lurking around every corner tech hipsters who look to your new device on the wrist-striking inconspicuously. Sales not presented Apple, instead tools for developers to program better apps. Similarly, the Group is going on at HomeKit which is intended to allow users to control the domestic household by phone.





Tim Cook Make way for Mr. Apple

The Apple Watch is not an experiment, it is a time signal. The change to an Apple lifestyle group is the official mission. The responsibility for this lies with a man Tim Cook. analysis

And the Apple car? So far unconfirmed rumors. In truth, indicates that the Group currently stabilized and its existing products is expanding slowly. As long as the iPhone sold like hot cakes, satisfies the

Perhaps not only for this Monday night, but in the foreseeable future, the company is therefore primarily one thing:. The iPhone Group, the computers including the ecosystem around it makes money and then also expanded its business with electronic fashion accessories such as the Watch.
