Yesterday, June 30, the music service Apple Music turned one year old. After this first year, lthe company has managed to reach 15 million subscribers, a figure that is not bad at all considering that it is a newcomer to the market, although it has received the help of the entire ecosystem where it is available: iOS, tvOS, Android and macOS. Apple has recognized the malfunction and has completely remodeled the application with the arrival of iOS 10, as we have already seen users that we are using the first beta of iOS 10.
Apple bought the Beats 2014 billion dollar streaming music service in 3.000, a service that it adapted to its needs to launch Apple Music a year later, on June 30, 2015. Since then, many users have expressed his discomfort for the confusion generated by the use of your application, especially on the iOS platform.
As reported by The Wall Street Journal, Apple would be holding conversations with rapper Jay Z to purchase Tidal music service. According to the newspaper, this information has been leaked by sources related to the negotiations. Apparently both companies have held various interviews to test the waters and see if there really is interest on both sides. If the negotiations finally come to fruition, this purchase would be a new impetus for the streaming music service Apple Music.
A Tidal spokesperson says they haven't had any conversations with Apple. It is not the first, and I think it will not be the last, that are published rumors about the possible interest of other companies to buy Tidal. A few months ago, a rumor leaked that Samsung might intend to buy it to expand its streaming music service, but finally the talks did not come to fruition.
What this rumor implies is that Tidal owners want to get rid of this music service, since otherwise news related to your possible purchase would not be published every several months. Currently, and according to official figures from Tidal, the artists' streaming music platform, it has 4.2 million subscribers. Of those 4.2 million subscribers, 45% are paying the $ 19,99 fee to enjoy music in superior quality, one of the only benefits Tidal can offer music lovers.
