    So, piece by piece, the iPad is devolving into a laptop. I thought Apple always looked to the future, not revering the past.
    You’re the one that’s in the past. We are heading into the future. Hopefully one day, you’ll realize the error of your opinion and catch up with us. Or you can stay left behind.

  • Apple launches $350 iPad keyboard amid pandemic-fueled recession

    I’ll wait for a third party to make one just as good if not better for way less. No, I’m not being cheap, I have the highest spec iPad Pro and iPhone. Keyboard with trackpad is what I’ve been wanting but only for occasional use. I’ll save my money for buying more Apple stock soon at a huge discount.

    You know! I’ve never really seen anyone say Apple is doomed. Why do you always say this?

  • Streaming now accounts for 79% of US music industry revenue, RIAA says

    Apple is probably not in second place when you look at revenue from streaming -- they're probably in first place. Spotify has more "paid" users, but a huge number of them are subsidized users who aren't actually paying directly -- its part of their cell phone bill. To date, Spotify has been unable to turn a profit with all those users -- suggesting the income-per-user average is low (and that's with Spotify still in court for not paying all royalties!).

    Apple's subscriptions are full cost (across the single/family/student tiers), which allows them to, you know, pay artists. In fact, AM pays the highest rate of royalties among the various streamers. Given the growth and profitability of Services at Apple, I feel confident saying that at present there is only one or maybe twos streaming music service making a profit, and I doubt Amazon Music or YouTube Music is in the black yet.
    So like my Apple Music which is “paid” for by another company because it’s a part of the promotion. It’s the same for both.

    There goes the ecosystem.
    Not at all. More and better choices is a good thing. Shouldn’t be restricted to something some people don’t want to use.
