Apple Inc on June 27 confirmed than the company's streaming music service has more than 60 million subscribers, trailing rival Spotify Technology SA's 100 million premium subscribers.

A company spokesman confirmed the figure that Eddy Cue, senior vice-president of services for the iPhone maker, disclosed in remarks made to French publication Numerama in Paris.
