Apple plans to deeply integrate Beat services to its iOS devices, iTunes, and Apple TV. Subscription plan initial rate is at $7.99 per month. The iPhone company came up with a plan to launch a brand new paid subscription streaming music service that is designed by Apple's geniuses but will use Beats technology and music library, according to News Everyday.
The tech giant will not simply install Beat into the iOS devices but rather incorporate it deep in the technical aspect of the devices' operating system, the Apple TV, and iTunes Media store online.
The initial cost of the monthly fee was at $5 however, the record label agreed to a final $7.99 per month which is cheaper than the $9.99 per month from Spotify, Rhapsody, Rdio, and Google but a little tad pricey than Pandora's premium , ad-free plan for only $4.99 a month. The original launch date was supposedly on March but due to some conflicts between Apple and new Beats team, it will be unveiled by June after Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, CNET reported.
Beats infused functionality within iPhones, iPads, iPad Touch, and iTunes are said to be deeply incorporated and while the company plans to release it on early 2015, it has the possibility that the Beats brand name will not be used in the devices.
The iPhone company bought Beats the previous year for $3 billion, and the tech mogul has been pushing Beats products to sell in stores, the outcome of the brand acquisition had yet to be seen.
