I love how they're trying to make "recommendation" seem like a good thing, instead of what it is, music companies forcing their artists, you probably would never listen to, down your earholes.

 

STOP DANCING OLD GREY MAN, wow this is cringeworthy. It's like the "Dads section" at a kids party.

Yeah but his dream came true, Justin Bieber was born and spilled forth onto the world, good job Canada!! :p

Or you know, Paul Anka, Neil Young, Rush, Celine Deion, Michael Buble, etc..

Looks like MacRumors jumped the gun on pricing:

 

Apple Music is launching on June 30th with a three month trial. It'll cost $9.99 per month, and there will be a $14.99 family plan too.

I stand corrected, musical quality at it's best  :|

 

Is it just me or is all this music they're playing the ultimate in bland?

The Apple Watch changes look really good. Seems to plug the only areas I was hoping they would plug in this release. Mainly, third party customizations and native apps to get rid of the lag.

Well it's useless to me as I'm a Spotify user on Android. I don't want any of this 'access to the artist' type crap and the Beats One radio station - I just want a huge music library. 

Apple Music to come to iOS, OS X, Android and Windows.

 

This is huge.

 

it's not like they really have a choice though. For this, they don't have the market penetration to succeed on just their own platform.

Sure, but still. Spotify have reason to be really worried now.

What? No Windows Phone? *shot* :p

If they make a universal app it may just run on Windows 10 Mobile too.

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
    • Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.
    • +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
    • so the people who bought this will get a refund?
