It’s never too late to start dancing to the beat that life is offering us and all of the possibilities that it may hold out. Just don’t lose your head. Be confident and move to the beat.
When you’re finished with the music of the moment, then you can get up and go do some dance and dance-up.
Well, that was my response to the recent news that Apple has bought the rights to the song “Wanna Dance with Somebody” by The Temptations. To be honest, I’m not sure I quite understood their rationale for the move. I have to admit it’s not like the Temptations were exactly good for Apple’s bottom line. But to me, it seemed like they were just trying to make sure Apple didn’t get taken to the cleaners by their new competition.
No one likes Apple. But there’s a reason they have the billion-dollar market share. And even though the Temptations are a bit of a sore spot in the industry, they were the first act on the charts to be successful (and make the big bucks) before their new artist and song were even born. They were a hot commodity that Apple didnt have to compete with for, and they made it easy for their fans to buy into their music.
Apple is the best music company in the world. Thats why they are the leader in the music industry. It took them four years to catch up to the Beatles. They are the most successful music company in the world.
Apple has been doing as well as it can, and the only reason they are not more popular is because of iTunes, a service that allows you to buy music and music videos for a song as soon as you have it, so you can download them to your phone and listen to them later. It also allows Apple to charge you for the music they already have on their platform. The fact that Apple has created the most successful music service of all time is largely because of iTunes.
With iTunes, Apple controls the entire supply chain of music, and their ability to charge more money for music is what allows them to become the largest music company in the world. Like any other successful business, Apple needs to continually innovate and develop new ways to add value to customers and employees. In this case, the ability to charge for music makes money.
In 2013, Apple created the first in-app purchase option in iTunes, allowing users to buy apps from the iTunes App Store for $.99. This is the same amount as buying a single song on the Apple Music app. The only problem is that it’s too expensive to use for free. Apple has had to continually make it cheaper to use their app store, and so the $.99 price point is slowly eroding away.
Apple’s app store is currently in the middle of a shake-up in which they will no longer allow apps to be sold for $0.99. This is a huge blow to the company, since apps are one of the only ways that users can access a lot of free content. In addition, the way the app store works is that users pay a monthly fee on top of the cost of the app, which is what Apple has tried to eliminate in its app store.
Apple has made it very clear that they will continue to charge fees on top of the app cost in order to keep apps cheap, and they have given no indication that they are considering charging a fee for free apps. That means this app store shake-up is just a matter of time.
