The streaming services have largely replaced CDs and other sound systems. If in France we talk a lot about Spotify and Deezer, Apple Music is certainly the fiercest competitor on the market, thanks to its history in music, but also its phenomenal strike force thanks to its iPhone and Mac.

$ 4.99 only

This $ 5 “Voice” subscription can be used on all of the brand’s devices. The functions are nevertheless limited since we lose access to words or videos, as well as spatial and lossless audio.

This new subscription will be available this fall in 17 countries, including France.

New playlists

To accompany this announcement, Apple also unveiled new playlists available from Siri depending on a mood or activity. You can now ask Siri to play a playlist to help you relax or a playlist to walk around. Until now, you could only request one music, album, or artist.

The Californian group also revealed a slew of new colors for its HomePod mini : There is something for every taste !
