Beats Music app enters the list of "Apple-developed apps"

Beijing time, August 16 morning news, after Apple completed the acquisition of Beats, Beats Music's iOS app has been added to the list of "Apple-developed apps" in the Apple App Store. Industry insiders believe that such a key recommendation will drive users to download.

Apple also showcased a number of other apps designed by the company, such as Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iPhoto, in the list, which can be accessed through "quick links" in the iOS App Store and the desktop iTunes Store.

Previously, Apple has begun to recommend Beats Music to new iOS users, which will undoubtedly increase the download volume of this app. According to Appshopper, the download volume of Beats Music has increased significantly in recent weeks. In the US version of the App Store, Beats Music ranks 4th among music apps and 23rd among all free apps.

As of May this year, Beats Music had 250,000 users. With Apple's focus on recommendations, this number is expected to increase significantly. In comparison, Apple's iTunes Store has sold 35 billion songs, and Apple's previous streaming music service iTunes Radio has more than 40 million listeners.

Unlike other apps in the "Apple-developed apps" list, Beats Music is not free to use. Although it is free to download, users need to pay a monthly subscription fee of $9.99. And unlike other streaming music services, Beats Music does not offer a free service with ads.

Rumor has it that Apple plans to operate Beats Music as a separate service, independent of iTunes and iTunes Radio.
