Apple Music will be available on Amazon’s home speaker device Echo, starting December 17..
Apple’s paid music streaming service is apparently more popular than Google’s or Amazon’s. According to analysis firm Loup Ventures, Apple has 45 million paid subscribers – the second largest number of users after Spotify (whose music service is already available on Echo). Apple’s popularity in music streaming coupled with Amazon’s leadership in the home device market could potentially spell a win-win for the duo’s latest deal.
Earlier this month, Apple said that its new line of iPhones, headphones, watches and laptops will be available on Amazon’s online marketplace. Apple’s home speakers won’t.
