How does Siri work with Apple Music?
Apple's assistant Siri knows Apple Music inside out. Ask Siri to play that one 80s song you love and Siri will find it for you. Can't remember the exact name of the song track from that Disney movie? Ask Siri. Say "Play the song from the movie Frozen" and Siri will turn on the song for you. Siri also helps you turn on the next song when you're in the car and want to keep your hands on the wheel.
What are the differences between Apple Music and Spotify?
Apple Music and Spotify are similar in many ways. Both streaming services offer millions of songs and the price is also the same. The big advantage of Apple Music is that it works seamlessly with Apple devices. Unlike Spotify, you can also use Apple Music on your Apple Watch and Apple TV. That means you can go for a run with your favorite music playing in the background without an iPhone in your pocket.
