Apple to buy Tidal?

Last week it was reported that Apple was in talks to buy Jay-Z’s music service Tidal, to maximize the users for their n music Service – Apple Music.

 

The story was broken by The Wall Street Journal, and these talks – spoken about by people ‘familiar with the matter’ – may not actually result in any deal. Neither company has commented on the rumor.

 

Beyonce’s Lemonade helped in the surge in popularity of Tidal earlier this year after it struggled to get market share. The streaming service focuses on exclusivity rather than the ability to access a lot of different music.

 

Tidal subscriptions cost $10 or $20 monthly, depending on if you want high-fidelity sound. There has been not mention of how much Apple would think Tidal is worth.

 

Do you think Apple will buy Tidal? Do you think it would help them boost Apple Music?
