Bono talks 885 million iTunes accounts, new music format, and "haters" | TUAW: Apple news, reviews and how-tos since 2004 - http://www.tuaw.com/2014...
"Another interesting tidbit: Bono gave us an update as to the total number of iTunes accounts. The last time we received an official figure from Apple was this past April during an earnings conference call when Tim Cook boasted of 800 million accounts. According to Bono, that number today stands at 885 million. And while we have no confirmation from Apple, it stands to reason that Bono, thanks to U2's recent deal with Apple, is likely to be aware of the most up-to-date figure. "They have 885 million iTunes accounts," Bono told Fanning, "and we're going to help them get that number to a billion."" - × × ×
