Apple CEO Tim Cook (blue shirt) stood with U2 band members at the launch ceremony of iPhone 6 and Apple Watch
News website BuzzFeed (USA) said on September 10 after performing at Apple's ceremony, the long-time rock band announced it would immediately give away a new album for users of Apple technology devices.
Song of Innocence ( song: Innocence's song ), U2's 13th album and the group's first album after 5 years of silence, has automatically been downloaded to iTunes account of more than 500 million people used after the ceremony.
ITunes users can see new U2 songs in their playlist.
' I really believe he has more than half a billion iTunes users, so can you send this to them? ' Bono told Apple CEO Tim Cook at the launch of the new iPhone model and the Apple Watch smart watch from the leading technology group in the United States.
However, the free ' music gift ' from U2 has made many customers uncomfortable, especially when they cannot delete this album.
On the Twitter social networking site , the @RiverzDaniel account is confused and asks: ' Anyone who gets a new U2 album randomly on iTunes (like me)? .
@SiChunLam was puzzled: ' I don't remember downloading U2's new album but it still appears in my iTunes' .
Among the frustrating people, @ cut2theroot shared on Twitter: ' My 16-year-old daughter just discovered U2 album in her iTunes account. His face looked as if he had just been glared at by a 70-year-old man .
' Well, so U2's new album still appears in your iTunes account even if you don't ask for it or download it yourself? So aggressive! ', @tcolerachel commented.
And @kenschafer wonders: 'How to remove U2's new album from iTunes?'
' Apple, I don't want U2 albums, get out of my account,' writes the Twitter account @AndyyBurgess .
And @christineburns is ironic: ' After listening to the entire album, I can see why U2 decided to give it away .'
