And just this week Spotify finally rounded out its Apple Watch app with offline playback.
So far Spotify is expected to charge above its $9.99/month Premium subscription for that, but with Apple offering it for free, it’s hard to know what to expect. Meanwhile, Spotify is also set to launch its own HiFi offering. However, it charges $19.99 for that tier and Apple Music is going to offer the same to all of its $9.99/month subscribers at no extra cost starting in June. One of Tidal’s unique selling points so far has been HiFi Lossless music. While Tidal is certainly late to the game, it’s nice to see Apple Watch integration arrive with both streaming and offline playback support. With Tidal version 2.26.0 for iOS, the platform has brought an Apple Watch app to users. The release comes as Spotify just launched the same earlier this week. Tidal is out with a new update that sees the platform gain Apple Watch support for both offline playback and streaming with the wearable.
