Shazam Comment on iPhone 5
Andrew Fisher, CEO of the world’s leading media engagement company, Shazam, comments on the launch of Apple’s iPhone 5 and what it means for people who use Shazam worldwide
“Apple has revolutionised the way in which we consume music, videos, and other digital content, and we at Shazam are proud to have played a role as one of iTunes’ top ten most downloaded apps since its launch. Our partnership with Apple has played a crucial role in growing Shazam’s global user base to 225 million, as many Shazam fans utilise their iPhones to engage with their favourite content, including music, TV shows and advertisements.
The iPhone 5 launch is very exciting for Shazam as its new features move the needle for digital content lovers. With features such as a larger 4-inch retina display, faster processing, and an increased number of microphones for better input, it’s clear that the iPhone 5 will continue the Apple media powerhouse legacy. For Shazam fans, these new features lend themselves to richer second- screen engagement with all forms of digital media, including music and video.
Shazam has been pleased to work with Apple as a partner since the early days of the iPhone, and we look forward to continuing to enable an exciting new era of content discovery with the launch of the iPhone 5. Shazam is also developing new features that take advantage of the enhancements included in the iOS6 operating system, which is scheduled to be launched shortly, too. We’ll announce these features when they become available in the Shazam App.”CONTACT US
