For Apple, the bundling agreement promises to augment its subscriber base as it battles Spotify and others in the competitive music-streaming market.Last August, Verizon introduced an offer giving all customers on unlimited plans six months of Apple Music for free. Customers choosing Verizon’s cheapest unlimited-data tier, Go Unlimited, can still get six months of Apple Music free (after which it will cost the regular $9.99 per month).
