Apple Free Music? He rose to 500 million users

The free ad-supported streaming, it's bad for the artists ensures Jimmy Iovine. And yet ensures the leader of Apple, putting Apple Music free, the firm could quickly climb to 500 million users. Free was never a business model for Apple. No wonder that Jimmy Iovine, former leader of Beats bought by the Cupertino, defends the fee model applied to Apple Music. Jimmy Iovine assures the fee is he conscious artists, quite the contrary he believes the streaming ad-supported. The head of Apple Music, speaking at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit, has a very definite opinion on the issue - and inevitably oriented. For him, these streaming services based pub "build an audience on the backs of artists." And yet, this funding to ensure Apple Music very rapidly according Iovine: up to 500 million users. "We do not want to do that," he departs. It might be expected. The virtuous approach and concerned artists claimed by Apple Music representative, however, has something to react. Apple's service has started through a free trial period of three months. And the Cupertino company had planned during that time not to pay nothing to artists. Is it not precisely build "a hearing on the backs of artists?" Jimmy Iovine dodging. Apple responded quickly and appropriately, he said. Faced with the discontent of artists including Taylor Swift, Apple had backtracked. On the subscriber numbers (the free trial ended in September), the boss does not show more forthcoming. Growth ? She is doing "really well" he promises. Yet again ? "Apple has taught me not to give figures" finally meets Jimmy Iovine.
