Yes. IMO:<p>Optically, Cue has been peculiar in the last year. The night before the keynote introducing Apple Music, he was photographed at a basketball game. The keynote was a disaster: he was easily the least polished presenter; the segments didn&#x27;t flow together; he stumbled a few times; he did awful dad dancing and cracked jokes which folks didn&#x27;t laugh at; Drake (?) and Jimmy Iovine had clearly not told anyone what they were going to say.<p>The product has not been a smash hit success, either. There was so much heat over how bad it was that some of Apple&#x27;s best-known cheerleaders in the press and blogs were battering it for being unusable and buggy.<p>This is a logical clipping of Cue&#x27;s wings. Apple Music + Beats 1 are a significantly different challenge to iTunes which was buoyed by rapid expansion of a category (iPod -- which lest we forget forced Amazon to have a product page for &quot;non-iPod MP3 players&quot;) and a low threshold to entry. Apple Music is a wartime product competing against Spotify&#x27;s headstart.<p>Schiller has for years been better at courting developers. He&#x27;s more at ease scaling from macro perspectives on Apple&#x27;s philosophy down to nerding out over software.
