The American company Apple carried out a few months ago the purchase of Beats, the brand specialized in the manufacture of sound equipment that also had a streaming music service called Beats Music. And although Apple already recommends to owners of an iPhone, iPad or iPod the installation of the Beats Music application, new sources point out that from next year all users of the iOS operating system will find the Beats Music application installed in your devices, as has happened recently with the music album of the group U2.
The information about the factory installation of the Beats Music application comes from the American newspaper The Financial Times , where they assure that Apple will add the Beats Music application to the internal structure of the iOS operating system as of next year 2015. In this way, Beats Music would become a pre-installed application just as the Game Center, iTunes Store, Passbook or Podcasts applications are currently, among many other examples.
Taking into account that the purchase of Beats by Apple involved an outlay of almost three billion dollars, and also remembering that Tim Cook himself stated that Beats Music had been a decisive factor in this operation, think about the application of Beats Music can become a factory installed app is not far-fetched.
After all, the monetization of Beats Music is similar to that of other programs such as Spotify, in such a way that one of the best ways that Apple has at its disposal to have the opportunity to obtain economic benefits from this application is as simple as force all users to have the app installed on their devices.
In the case of Beats Music, subscription prices (speaking of US prices) are $ 10 per month or $ 100 per year, which includes a subscription for one user who can use their account on up to three different devices.. Spotify, meanwhile, offers a premium subscription with a price of ten euros per month (without device limits, yes).
In the event that this information were true, the Beats application would become a factory installed app that would be standard on all iPhones, iPads and iPods. In addition to this, the Beats application would also be automatically installed on all devices that work today under the iOS 8 version of the iOS operating system. This installation would occur with the distribution of an update of the iOS operating system that, most likely, would correspond to the update of iOS 8.2 or iOS 8.3.
