Apple Watch Series 4 in 40mm and 44mm sizes confirmed in sitemap leak
Apple measures their watches by the height of the case...so if the that's the "case" the case will be 2mm taller....

Apple Music rival Spotify tops 140 million free & paid subscribers
I am an Apple Music subscriber and talking to my friends who use Spotify and not Apple Music, they say they would pay for Apple Music if when you "thumbs up"/ "like" a song, it adds that song to a "thumbs up playlist". Something so simple like that influences people...they spend so much time talking about curated playlists and algorithms and exclusives....the casual listener doesn't really care about that. They hear a song they like and want it in a playlist. Obviously you can just create a playlist and hit add to playlist, but some people are lazy, if that makes sense.

iPhone XR launch attracted more Android switchers in the U.S. than the iPhone 8 & iPhone X...
Funny how the other apple focused website has the similar article but their headline is slanted in the opposite direction making the Xr seem like a failure...but with the exact same data

Google announces Android P, with strong emphasis on 'free and open'
similarities? same colors (oh wait, the tint is slightly off). And the ends are straight and not rounded (so i guess nope, completely different)

Apple's HomePod gets FCC approval, hinting at upcoming launch
Siri on Apple TV can control HomeKit. I use it to control my lights while using Apple TVvmarks said:
One of the difficulties is that we know Siri has different limitations on different devices. Siri on Mac can't talk to HomeKit. Siri on AppleTV can't do... things out side of media search. Siri in CarPlay has limitations for safety in the car. It's frustrating bumping up against these limitations. We don't know what limits HomePod does have, or how well it works.ihatescreennames said:
I mentioned this in another thread, sorry for the repeat.AppleInsider said:
Missing December allowed products by Amazon and Google to gain a critical foothold in the smartspeaker market. Apple is prioritizing audio quality over voice functions though, which could help justify the HomePod's $349 pricetag.
I seem to remember when HomePod was first announced there was talk of Siri having a limited functionality on it, like it would only support some music and HomeKit commands. But on apple.com it says this on the HomePod page:
”Because it has Siri, HomePod can hear and answer questions in the most popular categories. Timers. Clocks. Measurements. Translations. News. Sports. Weather. Traffic. And general knowledge. It’s great at the things you want to know, and do, in your home.”
That doesn’t seem as limited as we were led to believe. Or am I missing something?
(I suppose the limitations could be in the form of no personal stuff, like setting reminders and no functions it won’t support like making phone calls)

AT&T CEO claims HBO will glean consumer data from Apple TV viewers
on a side note, they got my payment info and email address with their scam of offering the silicone apple iphone xs case for $4.99 as a special deal only to send me an email saying the case was on backorder and would ship in 2 months, then 2 days later another email saying the order was canceled. This deal was promoted on 9to5toys and had multiple complaints in the comments section after the fact. -
Apple TV losing market share to streaming set-top box rivals Roku, Amazon
i love the Apple TV, but wish some things were enhanced: obviously the remote being revamped is a start...simply moving it on my bed triggers an action, i can't tell which is the top and bottom in the dark, it's too thin (bought a case for it). Maybe getting into more gaming could help them also. Not that fixing a remote would help sales, but gaming would.

Hands on: Titanium Apple Watch Edition Series 5 is worth the extra cost
I've had the black aluminum Nike model both in Series 2 and Series 4....I am a personal trainer and spend 8-10 hours in a gym banging it around. Has yet to show a scratch.
I've seen a few youtube videos that people say the titanium looks a little cheap and to the average on-looker they won't know the difference between the aluminum vs the titanium. I'm not a fan of the light gray aluminum as I think it looks cheap.
Im thinking of getting the silver stainless steel for the premium look. Would love to hear anyone's opinion with their experience...
