Apple completes purchase of shazam

After announcing their purchase 10 months ago and having to wait for the EU green light, the day has come. Apple has officially finalized the purchase of Shazam. The service thanks to which we can identify songs has gained great popularity in the market, which is why the Cupertino company set its sights on it. And the purchase is already official.

Apple completes purchase of Shazam

The company took a long time, in large part because the EU did not give the operation the green light until a few weeks ago, which has had the entire operation stopped.

Shazam is already from Apple

Apple has had to pay $ 400 million to be able to get hold of Shazam. At the moment, as in the ten months that have passed so far, it has not been said how both companies are expected to operate from now on. The logical thing is that Cupertino's company absorbs the song identification service, but it is not known how.

The manner in which Shazam is to be used by the American company is also unknown. Since they have seen potential in it to make their purchase, but no clues have been given so far about future plans.

It will be interesting to see how both companies and their services are integrated. Apple has in its hand a company with very interesting software and knowledge, which can add to its products. We hope to hear more about these plans soon.
