It’s not as if Apple starts up and abandons social media programs as often as Google kills off apps, but it feels close. Alongside better-known failures such as Ping, there was Apple Music Connect, which started in 2015 and died in 2019.
Now Apple has brought it back — or really just reused the name — with Apple Music Connect for record labels and music distributors. It still has a social media element in that its tools include what Apple calls social templates for promotion on Twitter, Instagram and so on.
