애플이 월요일(현지시각) 세계개발자회의(WWDC)에서 스트리밍 음악 서비스을 선보일 것으로 보인다.
지난 7일 애플이 소니 뮤직과 콘텐츠 계약을 체결했다는 보도가 전해지면서 온라인 라디오 서비스 ‘아이라디오(iRadio)’를 시작할 것이라는 추측설이 나돌았다.
애플은 유니버설 뮤직, 워너 뮤직과 라이센스 계약을 체결한데다 소니 뮤직까지 합세해 3곳의 주요 음반사가 이 서비스에 참여할 것으로 보인다.
포레스터의 애널리스트 찰스 골빈은 “애플이 고객들을 위한 음악 서비스에 선두를 차지하기 위해선 스트리밍 오디오 서비스가 필요하다”고 말했다.
그는 또 “사람들이 알디오(Rdio), 스파티파이(Spotify) 구글 뮤직으로 이동하면서, 애플은 더 이상 아이튠 스토어 모델에만 의존할 수 없게 됐다”고 말했다.
애플은 음악의 판권을 쥐고 있는 음반사들과의 사업관계와 같은 세부적 요소를 제외한 소프트웨어와 서비스 등의 자체적인 준비를 마친 것으로 보인다고 골빈은 말했다.
“애플이 이번에 라디오 서비스나 스트리밍 뮤직 서비스를 내놓더라도 놀라운 일은 아니다”
이번 애플 세계 개발자 회의에서는 애플 디자인 총책임자 조나단 아이브(Jonathan Ive)가 첫 프리젠테이션의 마이크를 쥐게된다.
조나단 아이브는 전임자 스캇 포스털(Scott Forstall)이 애플의 실패작인 아이폰 지도 서비스에 책임을 지고 사임하면서 iOS소프트웨어 부분을 담당하고 있다.
애플은 지난 9월 지도 어플리케이션이 많은 결함을 일으켜 사용자들이 불만을 제기하면서 공식사과 한 바 있다.
애플의 스마트폰 시장 점유율도 안드로이드 운영 체제를 사용하는 경쟁사들에게 자리를 내어주면서 점진적으로 하락하고 있다.
이브가 새롭게 내놓은 iOS 7과 더불어 애플은 이번 개발자 회의에서는 지도 앱과 다른 업무, 엔터테인먼트 관련 프로그램을 선보일 것으로 보인다.
골빈은 “작년 애플은 지도 서비스로 인해 굴곡의 시간을 보냈다. 이제 사람들은 애플이 구글 지도만큼 또는 그 보다 더 나은 서비스를 내놓을지 지켜볼 것이다”라고 말했다.

Apple radio service may come on Monday
Apple, aiming to overcome recent missteps and keep its cutting-edge reputation, is expected to unveil a streaming music service along with fresh hardware and software at an annual conference on Monday.
Speculation that Apple will provide developers with a look at an online radio service heightened Friday with reports that the California company had inked a content deal with Sony Music.
Universal and Warner music groups are already said to be on board with Apple, and enlisting the Japanese entertainment giant would mean that all three major music labels have been won over to the service.
“They need a streaming audio service to remain at the forefront of their customers‘ music experience,” said Forrester analyst Charles Golvin.
“People are moving to Rdio, Spotify and even Google Music; Apple can’t rely just on the iTunes store model anymore.”
Apple appears to have the software and services in place and had only to work out “niggling details” regarding business relationships with labels owning music and publishing rights, according to Golvin.
“I would not be surprised to see an Apple radio service or streaming music service,” Gartner analyst Van Baker said while sharing thoughts on the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), opening Monday.
Apple hardware design guru Jonathan Ive is expected to get the spotlight during an opening presentation at the conference packed with the makers of applications that help fuel love of the company‘s iPads, iPhones and other devices.
Ive was put in charge of the iOS software powering Apple mobile devices after the ousting of Scott Forstall in the wake of the launch of an iPhone maps program which was a spectacular flop.
Apple was forced to make a highly embarrassing apology in September for its glitch-ridden maps application in the operating system used by the iPhone 5 and urged customers to use rival programs while improvements are made.
Apple has also been steadily losing market share in the hot market for smartphones and tablets to rivals devices powered by the Google Android operating system.
Along with an iOS 7 given a style make-over by Ive, WWDC will likely showcase improvements to the maps application and other programs for tasks or entertainment.
“They went through some tough bumps in the road last year with maps, so people will be watching to see what they’ve done to make it as good as, or better than, Google Maps,” Golvin said.
Google tirelessly woos developers to its Android operating system, which has become the most popular mobile software platform in the world.
Google last month had its annual developers conference in the same San Francisco venue where WWDC will take place.
“They have got to make sure they keep the developers happy,” Baker said of Apple.
“Right now, they do,” he continued. “Developers make a lot more money on iOS than they do on Android, but, that said, most developers don‘t make enough money to pay the bills.”
While Apple gadget users devour apps at a rate of about 800 per second and are known to be more likely to spend money on or in the mini-programs, competition is fierce with more than 850,000 offerings in the App Store.
Apple is likely to introduce upgraded Macbook laptops powered by new Intel computer chips, but new versions of the iPad and iPhone are not expected until later this year despite repeated promises by Apple chief Tim Cook that the company has “amazing” products in the works. (AFP)
