Apple Music might be relying on the power of the dollar in its effort to have it compete with stiff streaming rivals. New reports claim the entertainment giant is possibly looking to drop its monthly subscription costs.

According to tech gossip, Apple Music could lower monthly prices from $9.99 to $7.99 for single packages.

Apple Music may be preparing for a major price drop, according to a pair of sources working closely with the streaming service. If implemented, the drop could be as much as 20%, which would put the final monthly price below $8. The change, if implemented, would allow Apple to minimize any damage from a seriously undercutting Amazon Music. (Digital Music News)
