What it comes down to me is who can get the new content or the content I want, first. Amazon's Prime offering has almost no content I want, Apple Music has yet to tell me it can't find a song. I used Spotify way back when, when they were about the…

patchythepirate said: Complete a**holes. Kept promising homekit support "at the end of the year" for over two years. I bought a doorbell and some floodlight cams (both battery powered), now they say that homekit is coming, but only for a coup…
