my logitech h800s sound nice, have 6 hours of battery life, cost $60 new, can connect to any device with the industry standard wireless connection (Bluetooth) or with any mac or PC via a USB dongle, can be charged with the industry standard wired connection (micro-USB), and they don't fall off my loving head down a sewer grate

Sorry but spotify is twitter. I personally pay the owner of twitter before I tweet, and spotify has never convinced me to do that.

What? Spotify is the leader in music streaming in every measurable way. Twitter is dying and hemorrhaging money.

Spotify is Netflix, Apple Music is Amazon Prime video.

Spotify app is horrible. It has some nice features but there's no way it'll be able to compete in the long run. They make no money

I also don't see the issue with the new music app. The UI is not "beautiful" but it's no longer irritating to pick stuff on the screen because things are sized properly now. I dumped Spotify awhile back when they started pushing into privacy invading mode. No clue what they're doing now, don't care either.

They've had computer events in October, as I remember the 2011 MBA was revealed then.

Sort of surprised at the lack of a new screen resolution or OLED or something. It's not really needed since the current screen is pretty great but I thought for sure they would change something about the screen.

If the leaks being mostly correct are anything to go by, since the no headphone jack was rumored since the 6s keynote last year, the next phone will have OLED.

This is me in a nutshell. It sucks but we shouldn't blame Spotify, that's Tay being kind of a bitch.

I am kind of a Spotify evangelist. I pay for Spotify for me, my gf, a friend, and my parents. Spotify dynamic playlists and Discover Weekly are loving great.

Does Apple Music have anything similar? Also does Apple Music have lyrics? I got real mad when Spotify removed their lyrics option.

Some kind of contact induction version of a USB drive would be cool, too. Or like, a MagSafe version of a USB-C port, so there isn't really a thing plugging in, you know?

The whole color thing is a scam anyways who doesn't use a case?

I have a friend who works for Apple corporate, he started using his 6+ without a case. I said hey, you're loving retarded and you're going to break that thing in two seconds what the hell is wrong with you.

He broke it like 3 days later and got a new one right away so I wouldn't notice, but it was a corp unit so it has a numerical code burned in at the bottom in tiny print which was immediately noticable. Think I wouldn't notice bitch??

iOS 10 adds a weekly "My New Music" playlist and there's lyrics, though I'm not sure they were there in iOS 9.

I got a Retina MacBook and was totally ready for the whole one USB-C port to be a total pain in the rear end. It's actually quite the opposite, the battery lasts so long I basically just charge it at night or when I'm not using it, and when I actually do need to use any other ports I just plug in this dongle thing. I keep all my other junk just always plugged in to the dongle so I can effectively "dock" my MacBook with one wire. What I initially thought was going to be a massive hassle I actually ended up liking quite a bit. I never would have expected that.

Lightning is a daisy chain protocol, not a hub so you'll have to get headphones that have a lightning line-in

Do you have any more details on this? Could a charger and headphone port dongle just not exist at all? Or would it need to be a real weird set of headphones that you end up plugging your power cord into?
