Apple to begin removing abandoned and problematic apps from App Store next week
Good move. I'd also like to see them enforce a requirement for Apps to be optimised for iPhone 6 & Plus sized displays. My carrier's Wi-Fi calling and messaging App is still running in stretched iPhone 5 format two years after the iPhone 6 came out. That is all the way crazy.

Frank Ocean's Apple Music releases potentially mark beginning of end for streaming exclusives
That headline seems like a bit of a stretch when you read the article. Without much effort you could report the same sequence of events with the headline "Ocean's Apple Music releases potentially mark the end of the major record labels". Let's not call a drop of water from above a tropical storm.

Samsung to shut down Milk Music streaming service in September
One of its biggest problems (besides the obvious): the name. What the hell sort of brand name is "Milk"? This is like when Kevin Rose named a social App 'Oink'. What was the project that came out of again?
Oh that's right, his Startup Lab named...Milk.
Well...I'll be damned.

Apple counters Australian banks' call for iPhone NFC access, cites handset security
Yeesh, the bank really saw you coming.cropr said:
My bank is offering financial service since 1945, Apple started 2 years agosennen said:Apple, whatever fingers it may want to have in the pie, is still providing the most secure solution for it's customers. I'll take that over whatever service Australia's banks want to push onto me.
The financial services of my bank are audited yearly by an independent organization, Apple isn't
I take me 15 minutes to get an appointment with a bank representative, I cannot get an appointment with someone from Apple
All the data of my bank is stored in a national data center, Apple stores its data in a foreign data center, If have a dispute with Apple, I have no chance to access my data and to prove I am right
My bank supports heavily open standards, Apple has a closed iOS ecosystem
My bank is expensive. Apple is expensive
And you want me to believe that Apple is a more trustworthy partner than my bank. You must be kidding

Australian banks say Apple Pay is anticompetitive, appeal to anti-trust regulators
I find the idea that Australia's banking industry - notoriously corrupt and anti-consumer - is standing up for Australian's consumer rights to be hilariously brazen.
