Apple to bring Beats Music streaming service with iPhones and iPads in 2015

Apple is on the verge of revamping their recent acquisition Beats Music by integrating it in to iOS as early as March 2015.

The streaming service will be bundled in to the operating system early next year making Beats instantly accessible to millions of iPhones and iPads as reported by 9to5mac

Even after the shift, Beats will continue to be a paid service and will be under the iTunes wagon. The move represents Apple's first attempt to capitalize Beats since it bought the music streaming service for $3 billion earlier this year.

This feature will mean that Apple will directly compete with Spotify which has been ruling the music streaming industry for a long time. Other competitors include SoundCloud and Pandora.

The difference is, these music streaming services have paid as well as free subscription while Beats, as of now is only paid. Even though Beats does not have as many subscribers as Spotify, Apple hopes to gain profits once it will be available on iOS devices. Apple had tried out the same pattern when it introduced iTunes Radio which came pre-installed with iOS 7 but couldn’t see the light of success as compared to other music streaming services globally.

As iPhones and iPads are spread out globally, integrating Beats Music in to their devices will give the streaming service a chance to reach out to a larger audience and boost sales.

Along with this service, Apple is reported to launch the Apple Watch in 2015 as well. Though the device isn't coming before mid-February, we might expect to see the launch after spring in the U.S which should be roughly after June. The company also plans to roll out a large 12.9-inch iPad Pro in 2015 which would give competition to its rival Samsung as it has encroached upon their sales in the past.
