Not everything is going to be talking about the new ones iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, although we cannot get out of our heads that morning is the key day, the day in which Apple launches its new flagship device in several countries ... A day in which the technological news of the day will be the departure of the new device, and more than one generalist media will echo the queues formed in the Apple Store's by all those users who cannot be held without getting a new iPhone 7 .
But there is more news, and today we return to the war between music streaming services ... Apple announced in the last Keynote on September 7 the arrival of 17 million subscribers in Apple Music. Now Spotify, after reaching 30 million premium users in June, just announced that they have just reached 40 million premium users.
40 is the new 30.
million. 😄- Daniel Ek (@eldsjal) 14th September 2016
What you see is the tweet from Daniel EK (Spotify CEO) announcing arrival at 40 million premium subscribers on Spotify, a record number especially considering the figures that Apple announced about its Apple Music service in the last Keynote on September 7: 17 million subscribers to Apple Music. Keep in mind that in the Cupertino guys' service there is no free option like in Spotify, that Apple Music comes standard on all iDevices, and yes, Apple Music has achieved 4 million more premium subscribers since the month of April.
Yes, Spotify is growing much faster than Apple Music, specifically, they have grown at twice the speed of Apple Music, and much of that growth is probably due to novel family plan (We can get up to 50% cheaper if we get together with several friends), and Spotify agreements with some telephone companies with which we can have interesting discounts. We'll see how this music streaming career looks, many rumors point to a similar service from Amazon, and you already know how careful you have to be with the online shopping giant ...
