Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) in the coming few days at the WWDC 2015 will probably introduce a new music streaming service with one of its assets, Beats Music.

However, the big news here is that the Cupertino giant is rumored to provide the service free of charge to its users. Earlier it was reported that the Apple Inc would charge its users $8 a month for using the streaming service, but now it seems like it’s going to be free for all.

Free music streaming service from Apple could mean a huge loss in business to other competitors in the market. Whether it is to be Spotify or Pandora, they all will have to entertain a huge drop in their user base and streaming service subscribers.

Cupertino giant can also target its biggest rival in the mobile industry, Samsung, by allowing the service to run on every platform.

However, Apple Inc is less likely to make the service cross platform, but there are chances of it as it recently opened the iCloud services open to non-Apple users. Now, anyone can sign up for the iCloud and use Keynote, Pages and other few products from the company.

Reports suggest that the company is probably going to have some advertisements within the app to generate a revenue, but the profit made out of it would be significantly small.

What we can speculate is that the company can offer downloads or any such service for a monthly subscription, but in any case Apple is going to have an infrastructure that will help service generate some big numbers for the company.

Apple Inc is also under the FTC investigation for having an exclusive deals with the artists and labels around the world. It is without a doubt that the Apple Inc already has an upper hand in the music industry with the iTunes.

We are only a few weeks away from the WWDC 2015, and can expect the announcement of the new services and products.

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is expected to launch the Beats Music Streaming under its name any time in the month of June this year, report suggests. The streaming service that was earlier scheduled to be launched in 9^th March’s “Spring Forward” event has been rescheduled for the launch on June 8 this year.

Apple purchased Beats Music in May, last year, and since then, the music company has been inactive in the market. Apple has finally decided to do something with the valuable asset they’ve acquired without any hard effort.

The music streaming service is expected to be added as an inclusion in the iTunes, with some special features, two of which includes a curated playlist and cloud storage support, to store user’s favorite libraries safely on cloud servers.

The service is expected to cost about $7.99 monthly, which is in competition with other cheap services like Beats Music, Spotify, and Radio. Apple stated that the service was planned to be introduced in early 2015, but there has been a lot of delay due to many factors that include declining manpower, Beats workforce integration, and limited technology resources.

Sources claim that the new service will be embedded in Apple devices, with a new iOS update coming on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, but there has been no official announcement related to this. We can also expect to see iOS 9 later this year, which is very likely to be arriving with the Beats music streaming service, in the newer Apple gadgets.

The Cupertino giant has tried its luck with the iTunes radio in the past, but it was not much successful and failed to create a buzz among the customers. This service will be Apple’s attempt to enter the subscription-based music streaming zone, where it has to face rivals like Spotify and Google Play music.
