In addition, Apple introduced its streaming music service, Apple Music, which will take on the ilk of Spotify, Google Play Music, Pandora, Deezer, etc.

Wе covered almost all of Apple' announcements pretty extensively. Down below, you'll find all our news regarding all the big product and feature announcements.
