First off, Apple bought Beats for their headphones, not their failing music service; but secondly if Apple had bought Spotify they'd be under the anti-trust microscope.
- Eric_WVGG 10y agoDebatable. They had to get into the streaming business sooner or later, Beats Music was comparatively cheap and if not more popular, superior in at least some technical/UI regards.

- partiallypro 10y agoWho said they wanted good headphones? Beats had insane margins. Their headphones cost $7-10 to produce and sell for $100. Apple is about money and cashflow more so than quality.
