Just wish Apple would get iTunes Radio on iOS in the UK, rather than working on stuff like this.
Ouch, that's annoying. I really enjoy iTunes Radio (in the US).
Just wish Apple would get iTunes Radio on iOS in the UK, rather than working on stuff like this.
i don't have a problem with it being part of an existing app, but no an additional all..
Will people still say the same "It's not an issue" when we see iPhone are bundled with 30+ additional apps in the near future?
I can't keep tack of all these different streaming services. I just want one that has all the songs, the ability to upload my own music into the cloud, excellent radio features, and a clean design on both desktop and mobile.
In addition to Beats they should bundle in some unremovable U2 ringtones that you have to pay to unlock. Obviously I have what it takes to be the EVP of Clever in the post-SJ era at![]()
Why not integrate iTunes Radio, Beat Music and the iOS Music app into a one single app that offers free ad-supported streaming, paid subscription and the the traditional Music app in a one single easy to use app? This would offer an all-in-one alternative for people forced to jump between the iOS Music app and third-party apps.Why not just replace iTunes Radio in the Music app with this? We don't need another bundled app that can't be deleted.
Estimates put Beats' subscriber base at just 110,000, dwarfed by several other services such as Spotify that offer both free and paid options. Apple's acquisition of Beats has been seen as major avenue to boost interest in the service, but so far cross-promotion has been fairly limited. A revamp of Beats under the iTunes banner and including access directly in iOS may, however, substantially improve customer interest.
No, Newsstand is worse, I have to use it because a few apps can only exist within Newsstand. Other bundled apps like Stocks, Notes, etc. can be put into a folder on the last page where they do zero harm.so will this be like Newstand were you can't delete it![]()
apple is turning into Microsoft with their forced bundling!
lol what's next apple? Stickers on your iPhone saying A8 chip inside?!
Now that, that should be removable. They better not force that as a required and non-removable app. Especially not if they're still offering 16GB as the entry level storage.
Probably, after all, Apple know what's best for everyone.![]()
. People will complain but they will buy it anyway.
But you can put it in a folder, put the folder on the last home screen and shut up about it!
It's never going to happen, deletion of default apps.
or they could integrate the Beats Music service into iTunes Radio. So that within iTunes Radio you have the choice of going free ad-based or paid subscription-based.
I'm really tired of those ********* bundled "apps"...
There should be an option to hide the "Camera" icon from the Springboard (you can access it from the control center anyway), "Maps" if you don't use it, "Videos", "Stockings", "Game Center", "Kiosk", "iTunes Store" and a BIIIIG excetera... especially that really useless "TIPS" app... "FaceTime", "Calculator", etc. etc. etc.
It also should be illegal to include Beats Music inside iOS... it's not fair competition (just like the EU did before with Microsoft and its Internet Explorer browser integrated into Windows)...
You would prefer that Apple doesn't add new features to iOS if they result in a new icon on the home screen?I would prefer it be a standalone app versus integrated into the music app like iTunes radio. But honestly, I would prefer that it stay off my device completely. I have nothing against beats music streaming service, but I should be the one to decide if an app is installed on my device.
So, Apple is offering a paid service to undercut Spotify until the latter collapses? I'm not sure I'm following you.Spotify who does that model for instance has never made an actual profit. So maybe Apple hopes that eventually their business will collapse since it's not sustainable and then people will go to the next best thing which would presumably be Beats.
An app like Podcasts is 12 MB. There really are bigger fish to fry than this.Im sure Im not the only one here but I've been thinking lately, Apple really needs to stop bundling apps with iOS. Give me a break why are we forced to have all these apps on our phones when the base GB size for the iPhone 6 is 16GB?! Its ridiculous! If Apple keeps bundling apps with iOS releases I think there will be no more room for our content (music, photos, videos etc.). My friend has an 8GB iPhone 5C and she can only take like 10 photos because of the size limit and how much space iOS already takes up.
I feel there are 3 things apple can do:
1. Start the base GB size at 32GB or higher
2. Give users the option to delete stock apps no one uses
3. Or just not bundle them in at all and give us the option to download them from the App Store.
This is getting out of hand
If it's built into iOS it'll be less like 'I'm choosing beats over Spotify' and more 'I use my iPhone to stream music. 'How?' 'I dunno. It's just built in.'
That's a really good point, actually.
I remember those days well, when MS got hammered by the courts, especially EU, for bundling a browser with its OS.
Billions of dollars in fines.. huge implications for the company... etc.
And yet nowadays, bundling of stuff with an OS is standard.
How very interesting...
Apart from a browser and media player, what has Microsoft "forced bundled" into their OS?
You would prefer that Apple doesn't add new features to iOS if they result in a new icon on the home screen?
It is one thing being able to hide/delete it. It is another thing wishing that Apple only adds features that interest you.
