6,5 million users pay for Apple Music

As Apple boss Tim Cook now officially says, the new music streaming service is said to already have several million users who are ready to pay for the service. However, the sum of all active users should be even higher.

For three months with the Release of iOS 8.4, the Apple Music service is now running. Since then, Apple has already won 6,5 million paying users. For comparison: Spotify currently has around 20 million users who pay for the service. That's not all: a further 8,5 million users test the service with the three-month, free subscription. In total, this means that the service currently has 15 million active users.

Apple naturally hopes that in the future, other users will not cancel the service after the free subscription, but will buy a paid subscription directly. However, it must be mentioned here: if Apple Music is not canceled by the user after the free test phase, it will be paid in paid subscription automatically - of course at the expense of the user, to be more precise, that's 9,99 euros pro Month. The premium subscription price at Spotify is currently also 9,99 euros / month.
