Still wouldn't work with that website
Yeah. I don't use Apple Music. Never will. I don't stream on my phone. I own all my music. I would have at least liked the option to have an online version of my music library. I'd think the web app would basically be an exact replica of the new Music app on Catalina. Do I need to have Catalina or something because I still haven't installed the beta.
That's dumb and unnecessary. If my library is on the cloud, there's no reason the Music site shouldn't let me play it if I'm paying for one of the services. Seems like an arbitrary limitation.Yeah, the site requires Apple Music specifically - just iTunes Match won't work. For Apple Music subscribers it includes your entire iCloud music library.

Well if it goes, I'll just have to switch back to syncing manually with my phone. At least I'll have gotten replacement AAC files for most of the protected AAC music I bought in the early days (Save for like half a dozen songs that have been removed from iTMS since then) and Catalina has automatic Finder-based syncing now. And it'll save me money. As long as Apple doesn't suddenly decide they're gonna just up and remove the ability to keep music on your phone period I'll survive.
The iPhone 6 is no longer supported, so updating, whether to a new flagship, a 2018 Xr, or the rumored early 2019 iPhone "8se" (all of which also have vast superior performance and cameras to the 6) would definitely be worthwhile IMO.
But for people with newer devices, holding out for the 2020 devices (expected to have new form factors, 5G, and USB-C) might be wiser.

I like iTunes Match though. It's great when it works. Sometimes it can take a while to sync changes, but it's convenient. But I won't miss it if it goes away.
Either way, I will never ever switch to streaming my music on any service. Ever.

Tragic
What's the ram profile of devices since 6s/SE? That's a big jump forward in usable ram and performance and if 7/8 etc still have the same memory I can see 6s still having iOS 14 support and maybe even further
Also - does google play still let you upload your collection and stream?
Even though I have an X, I'm considering upgrading to one of this year's models. My X feels a bit small and I think I'd rather have a Max device. Besides, faster Face ID with a wider angle sounds good too, although I'd rather have Touch ID back.
I am half considering hitting the upgrade program for a year but realise it's not cost effective as I'd jump again next year.
I'd get a bit more for my X selling this year, but you're basically renting for £50pm
Is there any native iOS app for this site? I find it pretty laggy in Safari on mobile.Being on ios, I really wish there was a means to get notifications from this site.
Ugh didn't want to see this. Sitting here with a 6 and 6+ and need 2 extra lines on top.
If you need a phone buy a phone. No sense in being miserable for a year just to get whatever comes out later.
I really hope iTunes movies come to Android. It makes sense since Apple Music is already on Android. I have an iPhone X but the movies would look way better on my OnePlus 7 Pro.
I'm in Canada so that's not an option unfortunately.If you're in the US MoviesAnywhere will move most of them to Google Play Movies
(The TV app will probably come to android eventually)
You receive notification sounds via headphones? All I ever get is playback stopping when I receive a call. Both buds have the same standard capacity of course, the batteries just age differently depending on a variety of factors.
I don't know how long you've had them, but that's not typical behavior for the remote and you should get it checked out by Apple. I think my dad has his Apple TV remote go almost 6 months before he had to charge it, and I've never had a problem with mine.The Apple TV remote has won me over to a large degree (other than dropability) but fuck that battery. I already have 1 4th gen and 1 4K gen remote that won't hold a charge.
I'm assuming they can't be repaired?

If the 2020 phones bring a radical new design then it's still gonna be here by the next time you upgrade. No need to get so bummed out about it. The X series design isn't terrible in the least. Buy now, give it a few years, by then the next design revision will have had time to evolve and work out the kinks.I will.. still sucks. I may get the wife and kids something unless a carrier deal makes 4 logical.
I honestly don't care that much anymore. I use my iPad a lot and keep that up to date. Phone is basically talk, text, mobile ticketing, Apple Wallet.

Honestly if you need a couple extra phones for kids, SEs are dirt cheap sim only or on cheap contracts and will last a couple years probably with updates.
Yeah i have iMessage/sms sounds on so when they arrive they blast into my ears, and i have very calming sound for them too.You receive notification sounds via headphones?

The active mic switching between the left and right bud is probably a big reason for the difference in battery degradation.Yeah i have iMessage/sms sounds on so when they arrive they blast into my ears, and i have very calming sound for them too.
That's what i meant by same capacity battery, at worst the difference of distance between one bud to the other from the phone is half a meter why the heck should they degrade differently? To be honest i have even considered bringing them to the apple store to have them replaced but i know they'll laugh at my face.
Yeah, it's pretty decent. I've used it over the past two or three days to watch some Iceborne. The player controls are a little finicky though (hiding the chat etc) and I've experienced some buffering. Shouldn't have been my connection or the streamer.
Looking at userbenchmarks you should be able to get 1080p60 without too much tinkering.Thinking of buying a Mac mini to replace my 2012 MBA (I really don't need portability). It'll be used pretty much for browsing and basic desktop stuff (no photo/video processing etc) however I am currently playing WoW Classic (on my work laptop, no less) and it'd be nice to know what I can expect from it in terms of performance.
Appreciate it's not exactly taxing, but curious if anyone does something similar. Ideally I'd want to output at 1080p (I don't really need anything more).
It should absolutely demolish Classic. I used to play it on an iMac G4.Thinking of buying a Mac mini to replace my 2012 MBA (I really don't need portability).
