From Apple's perspective to me it makes the most sense to optimize hardware and software to provide the best experience which includes specifications of models. There is absolutely no reason to allow a user to upgrade for their model from my perspective. I am driving my opinion from the fact that a majority do not want to nor need to do this. Yes there is a small percent that will not like this but they have Windows based PC builds they can fill their need from. Does not mean Apple needs to have this.

Another comment. There are two core reasons I can see to "own" your music. The first is you are not some one who moves along with the times and are still concerned about logging in online. The second which I have experienced is if you use some music devices to stream music you have to own it to play it through the device. Not an issue though if you stick to Apple's ecosystem. But could be a huge issue for many.

Another reason is how much one buys. I have a kick-buttocks library and iTunes Match; I buy far less music each year than the difference in price between Mapple Music and iTunes Match.

Good point.  Depends on ones style of doing things.

Fake news is not a simple thing. Yes there is plenty of malicious intent in the world but much of it stems from laziness. Many sites are just copying articles from other sites (credible or not) without any effort or research. So true news and fake news spreads like wildfire in today's world. No different than someone in your community saying something true or false to someone...then they tell someone, then they tell someone...most of the time without sitting back and thinking is this or could this be true? How can I validate it first before gossiping? The other piece to this is the validation of information. With so much info available how do we even begin to validate everything? What a cluster F&*K.

This is unfortunate but will not be the last human killed from autonomous technology.  There are so many complexities to this it will take some time for this to get where it needs to be.  I do believe that once perfected the world will be a safer and more efficient place.  The question will be if we have the stomach to get there.

I have always loved the freedom to purchase by song. I am betting I miss out on some great songs by doing this though. I always remember hating having to buy full albums back in the day but that is also how I fell in love with some of my favorite artists music...now with the subscription model I can have best of both worlds...I can download the album and listen to it all without that impacting my pocket...pretty sweet actually. Once I have given it a listen I can then skim out the songs I am not feeling.
