Ondrej Holzman For charitable purposes, Apple has teamed up with the musical group Imagine Dragons and all the funds it earns exclusive single "I Was Me", donates to help with the international refugee crisis. The new song costs $1,29 and is available worldwide.
The new single from the popular Imagine Dragons is exclusively available only on iTunes (not even on Apple Music), and everyone who buys it will donate the entire amount to the United Nations Refugee Agency. Respectively, Apple donates all proceeds for these purposes.
In addition to cooperation within the One4 Project she engaged also SAP, which will add 10 cents to the first five million downloads of the single "I Was Me", bringing the total up to half a million dollars.

"As a group, we wanted to get involved and decided to work with SAP and Apple to help," said Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds, who said the refugee crisis is an extremely urgent issue given the number of people affected. "'I Was Me' is a song about trying to get your life back, which is exactly what millions of people are trying to do right now," adds Reynolds, who hopes that whether by downloading their song or through other means, people will help other families in need.
Apple's vice president of policy and social affairs, Lisa Jackson, also expressed support for the project on Twitter. Above-mentioned the One4 Project, which now includes Apple and Imagine Dragons, contributes directly to the aid of Syrian refugees fleeing war across the Mediterranean.

This is not Apple's first public support for solving the refugee situation. Some time ago, it launched the possibility of contributions for the Red Cross in iTunes and the App Store. Single "I Was Me" by Imagine Dragons can be found in iTunes.
morons who can't see more than one year ahead...
Like will they help the refugees solve the problems in their homeland so they can return home as soon as possible?
Well, from the USA, which is the cause of this, it really fits. The most morbid "joke" of the year. We Czechs call it, don't see your mouth. Congratulations Apple.
So I see that Apple and Imagine Dragons are doing it and not the USA!
And I see that Apple is one of the symbols of the USA.
and I see again that pro-Russian propaganda is pleasing to your ears
I am convinced that with this Bolshevik reaction, you have completely outdone yourself. Whoever does not go with us (USA) goes against us (with Russia). You have a simple vision of the world, but you're certainly happy :-D It's just not complicated and you're clear about it right away Ivan Rusák ha ha ha.
now you really amused me :D
I appreciate that at least someone in the USA has enough self-reflection and is trying to fix the lot that her fellow US Army has done to the world. Thanks to their vision of democracy, we have waves of refugees, which other Americans profitably direct to the EU from non-profits.
However, Apple's help should be directed towards the shattered Syria so that they can return home.
At least someone?
Google probably already donated millions a week ago.
But I do not approve of this help. Only in the case that the funds would be used to buy ships that would transport them nicely back to where they came from :-D
How many idiots like you live here? It can be seen that you have no idea at all about what is happening in the world and around you.
Yes, first we have to destroy the landscape for those people and then we dedicate a song to them. Cool….
Apple will donate to help refugees.. with the money it first collects from people(s)
Write that he won't take 30% like always.
Great, now I know which song I won't buy...
