Earlier today we heard that the new Apple Music streaming service would be announced during the WWDC 2015 Keynote later today.
Apple are expected to charge $10 a month for their new service and according to a recent report, the company is looking to get 100 million subscribers to their new paid service.
Spotify, De3zzer and other music streaming services have around 41 million paid subscribers globally, so Apple’s plan of more than double all of the other services is ambitious.
Apple does have a good chance of reaching its goal as the company will only offer a paid version of the Apple Music streaming service, other companies like Spotify also offer a free version supported by adverts.
Apple has hundreds of millions of iTunes users which it can market its new $10 Apple Music streaming service to, it will be interesting to see if the company can reach its 100 million users goal, we will have more details on the service when it is made official later today.
