It’s the season to be generous, and Apple has certainly got into the spirit, having revealed its plan to hand each of its employees around the world a nine-month subscription to Apple Music.
MacRumors reports that this news was broken by Eddy Cue, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services, in a video message sent to employees this morning. Later this month, each worker will receive a promo code enabling them to activate their subscription, which would otherwise have set them back about $90.
Not a single Apple employee – from the main base in Cupertino, to satellite offices, to Apple Stores in various countries – will be overlooked for this holiday gift. This offering is especially well-timed, fast following news that Apple Music has clinched a major concert video exclusive from Taylor Swift.
