There’s an interesting article in the New York Times on Apple’s plans to offer more kinds of music content for iPhone, when the 3G version goes on sale in June. This includes a wider selection of ringtones, but also possibly ringback tones, allowing iPhone users to regale callers with their latest hip tune while waiting for them to answer. Meanwhile, Apple is also reportedly mulling selling full-track downloads over the air, allowing people to download them using their phone’s 3G connection. Currently, you can buy songs using the iTunes application on your iPhone, but you have to be connected to a Wi-Fi network to download them. But here’s the really interesting part: apparently major label Universal Music Group wants Apple to consider some kind of music subscription bundled into iPhone, following the model of Nokia’s Comes With Music. So, you’d buy your iPhone, and get the right to download unlimited amounts of music for no extra cost for a set period of time. However, it seems negotiations on this front aren’t far enough along for that to be announced in June too.
