Apple to Automatically Install Beats Music App Onto All iPhones

Apple plans to load Beats Music, the subscription music service it obtained from its acquisition of Beats, into the iOS operating system powering iPhones and iPads as soon as early next year. If you recall Beats Electronics and Music was acquired by Apple in May for $3 billion. By preloading the service — which may not use the Beats name — on its devices, Apple could yield promotion benefits with this offer over the competition, which includes Spotify and Rhapsody. A subscription music service would represent a new revenue stream and keeps customers locked into the Apple ecosystem. What are your thoughts on this?
