@BrianRoemmele I don't agree with his stance on #VoiceFirst, but I think his reasoning for Apple Music coming to Alexa is spot on. Music in more places makes the service and iPhones more valuable. Cc @bretkinsellahttps://twitter.com/AboveAvalon/status/1088190939867303942 …

Daniel, I hear ya. However I did a podcast with
@reneritchie on this. The short of it is, Apple pays royalties every song played. They do not own the songs. Apple Music is a loss leader stated by Tim Cook. So there is no real revenue to Apple and a loss to Siri ecosystems.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Daniel, I think this debate is clear and can be summed up by Tim Cook and invalidates the “Apple Services” make money with Apple Music on Alexa theory (see Tim’s own words):https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1083836607784878080 …

Brian Roemmele @BrianRoemmeleI have had to explain to some of the smartest people I know: “Apple Services” everywhere for “revenue” is severely flawed concept. Apple Music on Echo devices does not and will not earn Apple revenue.

I agree it is not about revenue but a defensive move to limit the incentive for iPhone users to go with Spotify or Amazon Music esp before Video launch. I don't think it will hurt Siri any more than Apple's lack of vision has. I enjoyed your talk with
@reneritchie about it too.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

I see Music as a commodity that makes Apple iPhone stickier, Siri is a tool for differentiation like iMessage.

Daniel, I just do not see in any way this helps Apple. It does not move the needle of value because you have music on an Alexa device. The same music is FREE from prime. So why would this drive new subs. The other hand how much value does it add to the fact you have Apple Music?
