Apple Classical; YAY!
Must have an AppleMusic subscription; Well…
I’ll hold off until I hear more about it. TBH I don’t want an AppleMusic subscription. If I did I would already have one. I mean if this IS a premium service, and the reviews are top notch, fine. I’ll go with it. But I would have preferred it to be stand alone even at the same price as AM.

So you you’d pay the same amount for classical stand alone as it would cost for an Apple Music subscription. But you refuse to get Apple Music AND classical for the that same price. OK. Makes perfect sense. 

I don’t want the clutter. The first thing I do when I get a device is go through and delete the stuff I don’t want. I like my systems as clean and spartan as possible. So now it’ll be two apps when I only want one.

"The device is already incredibly large and unwieldy, depending on the user's wrist size."

I can't believe this nonsense is still being reported.

I mean. Read it again. Depends on wrist size. I didn't say that large watches weren't a thing, but there is an upper limit to usability for some. It is a lightweight watch and comfortable to wear, but the size can become unwieldy if you've got smaller wrists. Demand seems to be for a smaller Ultra, not a bigger one.

FWIW, I'd wear a PIP-Boy-sized Apple Watch. 😂 

Also, see my previous comment. The Apple Watch Ultra isn't 2.1 inches and can't accommodate a 10% larger display without a new case.

Wow. This is HUGE. 

Not a karaoke fan myself but my gf and everyone I know is. They even have their own karaoke machines. 

If Apple expands this to all of their songs, it’s a game changer. It by itself would be an unexpected driver of subscriptions. No one would expect it, but it would be a paradigm shift. 

50 playlists is nothing. Need to up this big time. 

Users want to curate their own playlists and set that up. Recently I helped put on a party at a hospital with karaoke. EVERYONE took part and had a blast. We  curated a playlist using predownloaded YouTube lyrics to a tv and pre downloaded the songs into a plays list to ensure no network issues could affect anything. 

For corporate events, birthdays, church settings, hospital morale boosters, karaoke bars, etc. this would be a smash hit. 

Bravo Apple. Bravo. Now treat it like the special thing it is and open up the catalog.
