None of this is true.
a) Spotify didn't invent music streaming. There were many services e.g. Pandora that were doing in the years before. It was a pretty obvious idea once devices had faster bandwidth.
b) Apple didn't steal their idea. They acquired Beats who had launched a similar service soon after Spotify.
c) Apple Music isn't privileged. It comes pre-installed but otherwise you can delete the app and use Spotify, Youtube Music etc.
- rez9x 3y agoApple Music is privileged when it comes to Siri. I currently have both a Spotify and Apple Music subscription, and one of the main reasons I prefer Apple Music, aside from shuffle not playing the same 20 songs in a 2000 song playlist, is the great hands free functionality. I can add songs to playlist, play a song next instead of adding it to the end of the queue (which is more of Spotify STILL not having deque support), and I know there are other things I've run into Spotify can't do on Siri, but I'm blanking at the moment.
- danaris 3y agoYou can absolutely use Siri to control Spotify—both on the phone itself and over AirPlay. Any functionality that Apple Music allows over Siri that Spotify does not is, at this point, up to Spotify to implement.
