Unlimited downloads on iPhone

For some people the worst thing about downloading music and other material is the choice followed very closely by the cost, which could be why Apple are said to be looking into the possibility of making the initial cost of the devices more expensive but in exchange for this extra charge, the users would be able to get unlimited access to the Apple iTunes store.

Now clearly this is a great idea, or so it may seem initially, but with no actual financial outlines being made, it is very hard to decide it this is a great deal or not. Clearly for people who use the likes of iTunes on a regular basis, then it is possible that any increase in cost could easily be recouped within a short time. But for other user this is not so clear.

Obviously there will be a need to have the two options open for those who want the music deal and those who do not. It has been suggested that the music deal will last only for the first year, where afterwards it will be necessary to renew via a subscription.
