As senior vice president of Apple Music, Apple TV+ and more, Eddy Cue<\/a> is celebrating a milestone number of subscribers, and what he describes as a ‘groundbreaking year’ for apps, music, TV. <\/p>\n

\n

Cue’s position overseeing all of Apple’s services was finally recognized in in 2021<\/a> with a change to his job description. Since then services grew to over 900 million subscribers in October 2022<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“At some point over the past year, you probably discovered a new app, a new song, a new TV show or movie, or game,” writes Cue<\/a>. “An experience that made you laugh, taught you something new, or helped you see the world in a new way \u2014 and moved you to share it with others.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“When we started Apple TV+ a few years ago,” he continues, “we did so to tell stories that reflect our broader humanity.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He reports that there are now in excess of 900 million paid subscriptions across all of Apple’s services. And that Apple has now paid $320 billion to “developers selling digital goods and services” since 2008, when the App Store launched. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“And believe me: There’s much more to come,” says Cue. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cue then broke down 2022 for each of Apple’s services in turn. The key additions for the year were: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
