Hold on a moment! I can't be the only one that loves to collect Album art and view it when listening to music right? Ever since Apple killed the Music App, I had to resort to 3rd party apps like TapTunes to view the Album Art covers.
I think you’re one of the few there. I don’t think most people care about album art.

Apples services are doomed.
Really nobody who is already caged within Apples hardware ecosystem wants to add another chain. Why Apple Music, when there are other services like Spotify that work on every device and give you the freedom of choice.
I don’t like Spotify. It doesn’t work with Siri in my car and doesn’t have an Apple Watch app. Also...Apple music does work on every device. You realize they even have an android app right? Apple Music is a major success by any measure, so I don’t know what you’re talking about. And they’re doing better than ever with Tim in the lead. Most people won’t admit this but the company flourished after Steve Jobs died.

Beats live radio is next.
Umm...no. That’s here to stay. A lot of people listen to beats radio.

Apple is just too much of a control freak to do this. It's the same reason they don't allow true alternative browsers in iOS (every alternative browser is basically a reskin of Safari) or put Progressive Web App features into mobile Safari or allow sideloaded apps. It's why their web-based (read: usable on any modern browser) solutions are always buggy and extremely late to the market. The less insulated the Apple ecosystem is, the less special and exclusive it will feel and the more open people will be to considering alternatives. There are certain times, it's true, that limiting people helps them build an easier to use device, but that doesn't justify the majority of their choices.
And yet they’re rich and you’re not. Funny how that works. I think most of their choices are working out just fine. The reason people don’t consider alternatives is because the only alternative is Android, and Android makes me puke. There is no true alternative to iOS.

Jeez Apple, just give up. Other than iMessage/Messages (which iOS/macOS users are coerced into using by the fact that it's pre-installed on every device), I can't really think of an Apple social software or services success story.
iCloud? You know, the most important one. Yeah I’m sure they built all those data centers because their services are all a failure.
Only their social media attempts fail, they’re fine with everything else.
And nobody is coerced into using iMessage. You can turn it off and just SMS or download WhatsApp or whatever other crap apps Android people have to use because google failed a million times over to make a proper messaging app. People use iMessage because it’s superior. Hell, many people stick to iOS BECAUSE of iMessage.

Apple can’t really innovate anymore or at least come up with decent services. Now they are chasing the original content trend. They are so late to the party and it will bomb too, just like their attempts at social media.
I feel like literally the only thing that they can upgrade/update now is the price on their products LOL Tim Cook and many other executives need to go!
The company has been stagnating like crazy!
Stagnating companies aren’t worth nearly a trillion dollars. In the time it took you to write this basic bitch post in your mother’s basement, Apple made another few million dollars. Tim Cook has made insane amounts of money for Apple, good thing he’s CEO and not you. “Literally”.
