Apple continues to work on improving its services, it could not be less since the Cupertino company bases 25% of its total income on this type of content, iCloud and Apple Music are the main champions. And it is that today the news has come to light that Apple acquired in August a company specializing in providing streaming music in the cloud, called Omnifone. We imagine that the intention is clear, Apple likes to acquire smaller companies in order to add the functions developed by them directly to their services, thus avoiding paying patents or plagiarizing the software content of other owners.
Everything arises when the team of TechCrunch he realizes that 16 Omnifone Employees Have Suddenly Changed Their LinkedIn Profiles And Now Work For Apple, something that sings quite a bit actually. However, according to the information, it is possible that Apple did not acquire the entire company, but certain select technology departments, it could be a somewhat strange business, but perhaps it arose from the division of the participants in Omnifone, because all of us were in agreement with the integration into the Cupertino company.
Omnifone was a cloud music platform through a service called music station, which served as the backbone to broadcast music on various services associated with mobile operators and telephone companies such as Vodafone, LG and Sony, among others. Omnifone was for example the culprit of the disappearance of Milk, Samsung's music system that did not captivate almost any user. It is not clear which part of Omnifone is the one that has been acquired by Apple, and it will probably never be clarified, we already know the tricks of Tim Cook's team to keep this type of economic activity in the strictest secret.
