  • After Apple's iOS 13 update, Spotify adds support for Siri

    This is definitely not working on my Xs, iOS and app software up to date. I can say “hey Siri, open Spotify” and she will do that. But the phrases mentioned in the article only gives me “Spotify hasn’t added support for that with Siri” and a button to press to open Spotify.

    im in Iceland, could be a regional issue? Apple Music has never been activated here btw.

    ****Fixed: Had to update app, had to find the app in the AppStore and update. Miss the old tab in the AppStore where you could see a list of apps ready for an update, waiting for phone charging/screen off/wifi. It was easy to manually update an app if needed.

  • Apple Pay launches in Germany with support for 15 banks and services

    hey Apple, how about bringing Apple Pay to Iceland? Only 3 banks to deal with, they are all pretty quick to adapt new tech and always copy what the others are doing. Vast majority of people in Iceland use touch free cards already and 90% of payments go through credit or debit cards, hardly any cash. Most of the card machines here are already equipped to use Apple Pay and I’ve often seen tourists use it here.  It’s a no brainer. Also, bring Apple Music and compete with Spotify that has own the market here for 5 years.

    Also, a total potential userbase of 300,000 people at 100% market share across the entire population. 

    Now subtract kids and others who may not own a mobile device. 
    At iOS' current market share of 53% of mobile devices in Iceland, that's what — *maybe* 100,000 potential users, total?
