According to Maddapple, Apple may find challenges along the way as Apple Music is not one of a kind in the market.

Their similar service will be a challenge not only for the users, but on how the two giant music apps contend for the number one spot, trying to lure Spotify users to transfer to Apple Music.

Some significant features of the Apple Music that may be set it different from the others is its ability to use Siri, in order to request for music faster, and an organize music storage for better access. Users are also in for better sound quality of Apple Music compared to the rest.

Beats 1 of the Apple Music also made an impact this time, unlike when it was first launched. This hinted the possibility of Spotify users to jump to Apple Music soon.

According to Apple, a user has a three month free trial that will engage them to a full Apple Music experience on their Apple gadgets. Engadget, on the other hand, has recently reported that even before the  Apple Music was launched, anti-trust allegations have been thrown against the giant smartphone company that even lead to the FTC looking through the company's music store regarding their restrictions. Spotify has been keen to persuade their consumers to directly subscribe from then instead of spending more on Apple's music.
