What Music Industry, Fans Can Expect Today From Apple’s WWDC 2017?

The 2017 edition of Apple's World Wide Developer Conference [WWDC] begins today at 10AM PT/1PM ET. It's a time when Apple makes big announcements and offers advance looks at major upgrades and new products. We'll be live tweeting today via @hypebot with an emphasis on music related announcements. Here's what the music industry and fans can expect:

_____________________________________

• iOS 10.3.3 – Expect major updates to iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. Each recent update has baked iTunes and Apple Music more deeply into Apple's operating system. We expect that trend to continue.

• Apple Music - Jimmy Iovine told Bloomberg that Apple Music is being redesigned to feature much more video. It would seem that now is the time d timing since Apple’s first original video shows are being release soon over the net few weeks

• iTunes / Apple Music – Both services feel clunky compared the sleekness that we're used to Apple delivering. If someone did a customer satisfaction survey, we suspect that Spotify would top Apple. This may just be wishful thinking, but this could be the time that both see an upgrade.

• Siri Speaker – Apple's voice assistant Siri is almost certainly getting a major update. And this could well be when a Siri Speaker that competes with Amazon Echo and Google Home. If so, will it just play Apple Music on demand or will Spotify and others be invited to the party?
