I don't care that much for apple music. I tried it with a free subscriptionand quickly canceled it. I've got a google home and I think it has way much more music to choose from then apple does. When I listen to music, I listen to a lot of bluegrass and classic country and apple music just doesn't have very much of that genre when compared to google. Also, with Siri, I can get her to play things from youtube music, or use my google assistant which both youtube music and google assistant are both working great now with IOS 13.7. I like that I've got loads of music at my disposal if I say go over to my sisters house for thanksgiving and want to listen to some music while using a set of bluetooth headphones. It all depends on what smartspeaker you are most familiar with.
