  • Apple TV+ predicted to hit 100 million subscribers by 2025

    Let’s see if Apple does anything to keep all these people (myself included) subscribed. If it weren’t for my iPhone purchase I would not have this mediocre service.

  • Publix rolling out out contactless Apple Pay at Supermarkets amid COVID-19

    I needed to pick up my grandmothers medication she had waiting for her at a Publix pharmacy on Saturday and was surprised that they still did not support Apple Pay. Like someone else above mentioned, if this situation doesn’t get merchants to step up with contactless then nothing will.

  • Amazon maintains massive lead over Apple in US smart speaker market

    I have 2 HomePods in my living room connected to my Apple TV 4K and for watching tv and movies they sound great. I thought that because I subscribed to iTunes Match I would have an easy time accessing all of my music but that has not proven to be the case at all. Often times I am just casting music to them with is not the experience I had in mind when I decided to order them. I too, like some others have mentioned have Alexa devices in the house and most times I walk into another room in the house to ask Alexa a question or set a reminder because HomePod either can’t do it or it just doesn’t understand the question. For 2 speakers that pack in an A8 they are very disappointing all while my cheap echo dot and fire stick are constantly adding new skills and interesting ways to interact with them. If Apple wants to stay in this market they have a very long way to go not only in price but also performance. If Siri still sucks then what is the point of introducing a HomePod mini?

  • Podcasts help Spotify eclipse Apple Music subscribers with 124M paid users

    I have Spotify premium and use it daily but I have never listened to a podcast on the app. I always use the native podcast app and I’m sure others do as well. So I’m really confused how something that is free (podcasts) are driving Spotify subscription growth?

  • Apple rolls out improved Maps to all users in the US

    I wish they would rebuild Siri from the ground up. 

    Maybe just maybe I’ll stop using Waze but I seriously doubt it.
