Apple Music dents Pandora's user-base

24 October, 2015
Nearly a month after Apple Music's launch back in June this year, Pandora's CEO Brian McAndrews said their online music streaming service was largely unaffected by the new competitor. However, it has now been revealed that the launch resulted in Pandora losing 1.3 million active users in Q3.

    You missed to mention that it was because of the Apple's FREE 3months offer.
    Why GSMA?
    When this 3months offer ends we will see if there is some impact on Pandora. Right?
    What if Pandora gives after that, one month free to the iPhone users? LOL

        No devices or software is perfect but apple has more weaknesses than most.

          What makes you think they went to Apple music? There are plenty of other options out there you never mention Google Music.

                    "of which an impressive 6.5 million are paying to use it."

                    Not surprising since most of them are probably iPhone owners, which means you have to have lots of excess money.
