As a Canadian, I’ve been using tap on my iPhone to pay for groceries transit and restaurants for several years now, so I don’t understand this article that it’s something new. 

Tap to Pay is not the same as Apple Pay. The service we’ve all been using until now was Apple Pay which allows you to pay for goods and services as if your iPhone was your debit or credit card.

What the article is describing is a new feature called Tap to Pay which is basically the reverse process of Apple Pay. With Tap to Pay, people can pay you with their credit and debit cards by tapping them directly on your iPhone, effectively turning your iPhone into a payment terminal. Think of your iPhone as now being the device which you use to accept the payment from a customer.

This sounds like a phone call with extra steps

Well, well, well… How the turntables

Has it ever occurred to FB that maybe the reason why the default apps on the phone are the most dominant is because that’s the reason we buy the phone in the first place?

One of the reasons why I buy iPhone is because of the privacy offered in Safari. You can’t get Safari on a different mobile device. So if other browsers are butt hurt because I prefer the built in browser over their offerings then that’s their problem.

One potential workaround for this is to utilize the Smart Playlist feature on the Music/iTunes app on your Mac/PC. I have this set up for myself so when I get a new phone, it’s less cumbersome to re-download all my music back to my phone one by one.

To my knowledge at the moment, there’s no way to download all your music in one shot. But with a smart playlist, you can have Apple Music automatically add new songs you add to your library to a specific playlist and then download the entire playlist in one shot from Apple Music.

Using this method, you could theoretically delete all the downloads from your iPhone in the settings app and then download the playlist in one go from the music app, and any tracks that are available in the higher quality formats will be the ones downloaded.

And given that it’s a smart playlist, any time you add a song to your library, it will automatically be added to the playlist too. You don’t have to do a thing! Hopefully this helps!
