  • Apple Music poised to overtake Spotify in US, possibly this summer

    "Of course, Apple is in the market of selling hardware, so they only want AppleMusic to be used on Apple devices. It might work for some but I'm not falling for it.".

    Apple Music is available on Android.

    And also on Windows through iTunes. So IMHO, only non Android TV boxes and game consoles remain.

  • iOS 11.3 coming this spring with battery and performance settings, ARKit 1.5, new Animoji

    No word about Messages in the Cloud? I start to feel... impatient.

    what killer apps does jailbreaking offer these days? 
    Wondering the same thing. iOS is so evolved and advanced anymore. Why risk it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    To get rid of slow, framedropping animations, the notifications mess, lacking appointments on the lockscreen and other UI shortcomings that ridiculize iOS. Even moving the text cursor a single position is a headache. For only 10 years now.
    Too move the cursor to a precise location, force touch on the Apple keyboard, then, while keeping force touche, use the keyboard as a touch pad to move the cursor in all directions. Been like that for quite some time. iOS 10 at least. Of course you need a force touch capable device so iPhone 6S or better. On iPad, use the same trick by sliding two fingers (nearby each other) on the keyboard instead of force touch. A bit trickier but does the job too.

  • Apple's iPhone 8 & 8 Plus use smaller batteries, maintain battery life

    Apple cares about the environment.  Shows in everything they produce.  Except for packaging.  Yeah, I know about the sustainable forests.  But let's still cut down on packaging, please.  Tim? 
    Their packagings are made almost exclusively from "paper", the quantity of plastic like materials is minimal IMHO. Isn't it an accomplishment by itself? What do you think they could do to make those better? No sarcasm.
