When Apple Music showed up, one of the biggest questions was whether or not it would get at least the same level of third-party hardware support as Beats. Will you have to chuck your Sonos speakers in favor of some Apple-blessed streaming audio gear? Not at all, apparently. The team at 1 Infinite Loop says that Sonos devices will play Apple Music by the end of this year -- "ASAP," as the iPhone maker's Ian Rogers puts it. There's no word of compatibility other hardware, but it's evident between this and Android support that Apple is more interested in having a Spotify-like ubiquity than locking you into its ecosystem.
