Oh, and don't forget good old iTunes Match that still exists and is a pretty good value and alternative to Apple Music. Your collection need not be squirreled away, but for $25/yr, you can stick with that for significant savings over the AM subscription fee. I use Match myself because of the savings. YMMV.

Testify! I have loads of ripped local punk, and it's sweet having it in cloud and available on all devices.

I still buy music from iTunes Store, and view Music as iTunes ... but I also refer to Settings in iOS as System Preferences ...

When friends talk about Netflixxx originals they've enjoyed, I say we don't have their streaming, just Blu-rays in mail, which is inevitably followed by "I didn't know they still did that."

At one point I had 500 movies in queue, which hit the cap, and I had to keep a list elsewhere. It's now just more than 300. I cancelled Netflixxx streaming because none of the hundreds of movies I wanted to see were available via streaming. In addition to old-timey classics (and many that could barely be categorized as dreck) it was nice to get new releases as we frequently watch a movie over course of a few daze. Rental prices from Mapple seem high, and I don't need pressure of the time limit.

Ohs, well. I better get back to shaking my fist at that smug cloud that thinks it's so big and fluffy ...

The Variety story is adamant that Miyamoto stated they will not be on phones, but he seemed to indicate Mario phone games can serve as a hook, and that phone apps would not be “the primary path,” which means they might be a secondary or tertiary path.

I use iPhone for all my newspaper photos. If Mapple opted to take path of overly jiggering photos, I would be forced to procure and tote a fancy, separate camera. 

Buh, if Watch is set up for Mapple Pay, it locks when removed from wrist, requiring passcode to operate and constant skin contact to remain unlocked. And, what will stop people from stealing pop-off Watches?
