Oh I know it's included, by folded in I mean it's going to be completely removed as an additional app and the branding will disappear. It's just going to be a feature of Siri and nothing more at some point.
Apple acquired Siri from another company and kept the name. I doubt that they will kill the 20 year old Shazam brand. In fact on the control center, the Shazam icon is very prominent and it’s available as a complication on the watch.
If I ask Siri what song is playing, it doesn't say "thanks to Shazam" or something. It's already folded in to Siri to quite the degree. As the personal assistant war heats up, the drive to make Shazam disappear and force users to use Siri will become too strong to ignore.
ERGO I am surprised that they put out a PR about it.
