Apple has confirmed its acquisition of music recognition service, Shazam. The deal has been on the cards for a while, but it's now official.
"Apple and Shazam have a long history together. Shazam was one of the first apps available when we launched the App Store and has become a favorite app for music fans everywhere," said Oliver Schusser, Apple's vice president of Apple Music.
"With a shared love of music and innovation, we are thrilled to bring our teams together to provide users even more great ways to discover, experience and enjoy music."
What does it mean for iPhone?
There are some potentially interesting moves Apple could now make with Shazam officially under its wing.
Google's Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL handsets can display the current song playing in your environment (even if it's not from your phone) on the always-on ambient display, and it wouldn't surprise us is Apple offered something similar on iPhone.
