I think what is most shocking about this entire thing is that DED didn't write the article.

The WiFi on my iPad fails about once a week or so and needs to be restarted. Which means rebooting the iPad. Toggling WiFi in settings does not work. Everything else I own on the WiFi network chugs right along.

Shit happens.

This is interesting to me:

I do a search for "list of samsung smartphones" with Google on the desktop and regardless if I am logged in or not and regardless of the browser, the top result is a paid advertisement from Apple served by Google linking to Apple dot com. Same thing happens regardless if I have an adblocker active.

When I do the same exact thing on the iPad the results are the same across Chrome and Safari unless I have an adblocker active on Safari. With an adblocker active with Safari on the iPad I do not see the Google served ad paid for by Apple.

The same thing happens if you search for "list of samesung smartphones" - notice the 'e' in 'same'.

I wonder how much Apple winds up paying Google for that top advertisement link.

I apologize if it's a bit off topic but for some reason I did the search after reading the article and thought the results were interesting.

Maybe some other folks can give their results?

I think you need to talk to a shrink.

Your posts have become increasingly disturbed and I genuinely and honestly think you are in need of and should seriously seek some help.

No joke.

AppleInsider said:

App Annie's figures for the top ten music streaming apps doesn't even mention Apple Music, for example, despite the new service pulling in ten million paid subscribers and likely many times more that in app downloads.

Conversely, in App Annie's rankings of top apps by platform, YouTube is the third most popular app listed for iOS, but doesn't even show up in Android's top ten because it's included with Android.

Who actually downloads Apple Music as a stand alone app?

The Apple Music app is included in iOS and can't be avoided unless you don't upgrade iOS.

Apple Music is one of those Apple apps that is baked into iOS by Apple and can not be deleted. If you don't use Apple Music you can only hide it in your garbage folder with all the other Apple apps that can't be deleted.
