I recently switched to iPhone from Pixel. The overall UI touch responsiveness and battery life is an upgrade but the OS features are neither upgrade or downgrade.
I also got Apple Music trial for 6 months while having a YT subscription. Even though the app seems just fine and nice looking but why would anyone pay for it vs. YouTube Music? With YouTube you get a larger selection of songs (including all user uploaded stuff to YT) and it removes ads on YT. So what exactly is the rationale to pay for Apple Music?
I believe Apple Music being the default option on Apple devices plays the biggest role in its market share
- josteink 5y ago> So what exactly is the rationale to pay for Apple Music? Googles absolute failure to provide family plans for people using Google-apps/Gsuite as their family domain and accounts. You have to buy individual subscriptions to everyone. It’s literally not an even an option.
- Case81 5y agoNot sure about Apple Music but I simply don’t use YouTube Music because it’s actually missing a LOT of stuff for me. Off the top of my head, some Beatles remasters and obscure synth artists
- hbn 5y agoYeah, and I've had artists I follow release new music, and it seems to sometimes not land on YTM the same day as Apple Music and Spotify. Certain albums just never showed up. And you know what, I can't blame them for not caring about keeping up with Google's services. Who knows how many days YTM has before it's axed and replaced with something else.
- msbarnett 5y ago> So what exactly is the rationale to pay for Apple Music? For $20 my wife and I both get Apple Music, Apple TV+ (several shows we enjoy on there), 200GB Cloud Storage, and subscription access to a bunch of video games. 2 subscriptions to YouTube Music by itself would cost us the same $20, with none of the other benefits (and it has a muuuuch lousier selection of stuff I like, at least – plus a lot of the user-uploaded content has audio quality on par with some 96khz mp3 I'd have gotten off of napster two decades ago, whereas Apple's increasingly streaming lossless)
- Steltek 5y agoYoutube Music has a family plan for $15/m for 5 users and all users also get YT Premium (nee Red). It's a way better deal.
- msbarnett 5y agoEhhhhh there's just the 2 of us, so with none of the other benefits, which to me are worth $5, it's not an interesting deal. Plus neither of us spend any time on YouTube so that whole "Premium" ad-free thing is just meaningless access to absolute junk content.
- deadmutex 5y ago> 2 subscriptions to YouTube Music by itself would cost us the same $20 FYI: There's a family plan... ~$18 for 5 people in the household. And no ads on YT!
- ssully 5y agoI was a Google Play Music user on iOS. I switched to Apple Music after Play moved to Youtube Music. Compared to Google Play Music, I found the entire experience to be worse in Youtube Music and got zero benefit from the switch. After using Youtube Music for a few months I did a 3 month trial for Apple Music and just never went back. Also does Youtube Music premium remove Youtube ads? That was a thing with Google Play Music for years, but I thought they removed the benefit with the switch? Looking at the subscription page [1], they only mention ad-free music.
