We'll put Shazam in the Filemaker category of continuing to exist, but not really benefiting from Apple.

It's built in to Siri though. So Apple benefitted from Shazam. I'd say Apple's Weather app has also significantly benefitted (albeit a bit late) from Dark Sky's acquisition

Yes the Weather app has improved but it would have been much better to kill it and start from Dark Sky

Filemaker might as well have been bought when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. It's such an acquisition from another era that it's a fully owned-subsidiary of Apple inc. that is completely separate from the rest of the company. Do you know how many other subsidiaries Apple has?

It gives Apple the data/insights which new artists are getting popular. Maybe they can use it to negotiate prices with artists.
