Apple Music has reached 13 million subscribers, CEO Tim Cook announced during an earnings call today. The music streaming service has picked up around 2 million subscribers since February when the company announced it had reached 11 million subscribers.
The 10-month-old service has grown at a strong pace, matching the growth rate of industry-leading service Spotify, which has been around for nearly eight years...
But if Apple's history of updating iOS software is any indication, the service will likely pick up some new features at WWDC this June.
Apple Music launched in more than 100 countries on June 30, 2015 and will see its first anniversary in two months. At its current growth rate, Apple Music is on track to have somewhere around 15 million subscribers, gaining significant ground on Spotify, which reported more than 20 million paying subscribers and 75 million active users in the weeks ahead of Apple Music's debut.
Spotify is good too but AM remains superior cause I can have all my music in one app because when some album is not available for streaming I just download them and upload them to my cloud.
