Apple says it will add those last two bits in the future, and optimize sign-up for Android. But early indications are that Apple sees Android as a serious plank in its Apple Music strategy, rather than an afterthought. It has curated list of music, playlists, recommendations from music experts and other features that are curated by Apple editors.

The USA technology giant believes it has fully-embraced the Android eco-system with its Apple Music app.

In the United States, the monthly fee is $9.99, while a family plan costs $14.99.
