U.S. Stocks NEWS: On Tuesday, Shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), lost -1.57% to $113.40.
Apple Music hits its three month anniversary next week and, to paraphrase an old Warren Buffett saying, were about to see how many people are listening naked when the tide goes out, according to Yahoo Finance.
Apples (AAPL) streaming music service costs $10 a month and does not have a free-with-advertising tier, a popular option on Spotify, Deezer and many other rivals. Apples service kicked off on June 30 with a 90 day free trial for anyone who signed up. But those early adopters will have to decide whether to start paying for the service September 30.
The music industry has been desperate for Apples premium subscription service to take off, encouraging more people to pay for music again and offsetting plummeting sales of digital and physical songs. Without Apple, the streaming music wave is already slowing. The number of U.S. paid subscribers raised only 2% to 8.1 million in the first six months of this year contrast to 2014, according to figures released by the Recording Industry of America on Monday. Streaming revenue was up 23% to $1.03 billion. Apple Music opened on the last day of the period. Yahoo Finance Reports
