  • Apple's 'Project Titan' chief to reportedly leave company, car team under pressure





    All Apple has to do is to buy all of BMW for about $65 BILLION and turn it into a subsidiary of Apple.
    Then Apple can have all of BMW's expertise and manufacturing capability.
    Then Apple can modify BMW's cars to its heart's content.

    I love it and I plan to let it roll over to paid when the trial expires.  There's so much music that I wanted but didn't want to pay for and now I can listen to it for basically free, as $9.99 isn't that much.  
    I have the family plan at $15.00.  I love it since I can play different music simultaneously in different rooms of the house, on my iPhones and iPads. I don't have to turn off music on one device before turning it on on another device.

    Yet another Apple service declared D.O.A., epic fail, you name it, by AI techie wannabes and experts that somehow succeeded in spite of their dour declarations. Apple Music joins an exclusive club of D.O.A. or failed products and services as predicted by our resident “Apple has lost its way” crowd.

    Apple Watch
    Apple TV
    Apple Music
    iTunes
    Macbook (w/single USB-C port)
    ...
    Don't forget about Apple iPad Pro. It seems to become the biggest failure among iPads ~

    Note that the iPhone itself was going to be Apple's BIGGEST FAILURE - as announced by Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's then CEO.

  • Apple Music reportedly reaches 10 million paid subscribers in 6 months

    At 10 million users, Apple Music is generating $1.5 BILLION a year in revenue. With iTunes Music at $4.5 BILLLION a year that means Apple generates $4.2 BILLION of the worldwide music industry's yearly revenue. This means Apple already generates 30% of the music industry's revenue. And it is growing fast!

    Apple have ironed out a lot of the early bugs with the service and I don't really have any complaints about it anymore.

    One suggestion for any Apple staff who are reading this is to put a bit more emphasis on social sharing of playlists.  I don't personally need it (as I don't care what other people are listening to, LOL!) but friends who are still using Spotify constantly cite this as a reason for them staying with Spot.


    Does your experience echo this sentiment?



    Music is actually a very complex service. Apple is combining streaming, listening to your own collection, radio, music discovery, links to buying music from the iTunes Store, and social media. It is difficult to do all of this in a simplified 6" user interface. 

    But Apple is continuously improving the service. Since it is cloud based, improvements at the server level are experienced instantaneously by everyone.

    so far once you get use to the current UI, it is not bad at all. Yes it can improve but that will be done gradually over time.
