It’s intentional. YouTube offers a music subscription like Apple Music and Spotify. It would be a free loophole to YouTube your favorite band then hide the video

to scroll through Facebook etc. 

That’s too bad, I alway believed Picture-In-Picture was a Comcast “Stream” feature.  Comcast must have been quick to adopt it.  I’ve had Picture In Picture since the second beta of iOS 14.  

Comcast also wisely included music channels. 

AT&T TV Now and HBO NOW doesn’t seem to support Picture In Picture in their apps either.  I’m rarely using AT&T anymore maybe it’s time to finally cancel that service.

Overall, this is a good sign that Apple's security is becoming much harder to crack. I'm glad I asked Steve Jobs for high-grade security that exceeds military-grade before he died.

Looks like we've gone a long way from the days when Steve Jobs worked for $1.00 per year salary.

Make Woz VP of Engineering.

You must be kidding... Woz is so far behind the curve on technology that he couldn’t design a thing today... and he knows it too.

Well, I think Fusion-IO still a fantastic system. Wozniak had a role as Chief Scientist at the company that developed the concept and hardware before SanDisk bought the company. Now, the technology is seen in high-performance server systems sold by HP, IBM, and Appp... Oh wait, Apple doesn't have an enterprise server anymore...

One of the things Apple has always excelled at has been the creation of demand; sometimes false demand by constricting its own supply chain.  

When a product becomes out-of-stock, it … (more)creates a situation where the product is "perceived" as more valuable by the consumer.  

When people in the press can't purchase it either, then the press will write about it in a more favorable light once the product is obtained as well.  This is something carefully balanced by Apple and a part of its branding, marketing, and supply chain strategy.  

Look at it this way-
People know when they go to a McDonald's they can get a McDonald's signature BigMac Burger but only Apple would deny its customers the ability to tender a sale.   No one in the press writes about how tasty their last BigMac burger was because they are ready for purchase.

It takes a stroke of genius to deny Dieter Bohn his ability to be the first in the office to buy an Apple.
