WWDC 2015

[wildest_jjk]

Can't wait for Apple pay! Here's the press announcement from Nationwide (just went on their website to check):

Also really excited about the new radio channel and streaming Three months free will certainly be good to see how it is at least!

Shame they don't convert people who have iTunes Match over as it kinda rends it absolute in some ways

 

[MagicBoy]

The Music thing has to go down in Apple Keynote history as one of the worst sections ever. Not even Zane Lowe or Eddy Cue's shirt could save it.

 

[UberTiger]

The music part of the keynote might not have been mind blowing, but it still looks good.

The price is right - especially if you have a family. $15 for up to 6 people?

That's a bargain. It's £5 per person on Spotify.

I think the Siri and voice integration to the music app could really give it a nice edge over any non-native apps once you know what kind of voice commands will work. I'll certainly give it a go on the 3 month free trial.

Any word if this will be compatible with Sonos?

Any word if this will be compatible with Sonos?

This. My Deezer sub will run out in December so I'll need a suitable replacement.

They really didn't.

Spotify only has the free offering to differentiate it - and that's funded by those £9.99 subs that will clearly decline...

edit - seems Spotify agree... lol

iOS 9 on iPad Mini 1, iPad 2 & iPhone 4S. This is going to be interesting.

By interesting, I assume mean running as fast as Pistorious without his blades and with a Ford Zodiac chained to his knackers?

Free music videos? You could pretty much have your own mtv channel. That's pretty sweet. Fingers crossed Vodafone offer that as a red plan. Did they mention anything about offline play? That's the only thing that would make me change from spotify.

 

[Spleen Sauce]

They really didn't.

This.

Would assume it would run better then ios8 tbh considering its all about optimisation- and the install/download is much smaller

 

[n111ck]

This.

Interesting insight.

If it was really a major compromise I doubt they would have bothered.

Either way still supporting a 5 year old phone is admirable and a lesson to those gippo landfill manufacturers.

 

[Meatball]

Bye Spotify - hello Apple Music (providing they allow offline use). I wonder how it will work in cars Made for iPod / Works With iPhone?

 

[Christmas themed thank]

I wonder how crippled the Android app will be.

In all seriousness, this is making me consider an iPhone again. Damn you Apple.

 

[JamesM]

ios9 seems pretty nice!

 

[Somnambulist]

July. Ulster Bank, NatWest, Amex, Santander, RBS, Nationwide, HSBC, First Direct.

That's my direct debit card sorted at least. Wonder if my credit card (John Lewis, Mastercard) will be supported...

[Tunney]

No Barclays they probably concentrate on their own cruddy system

Well, they've instantly lost my business.

Any word if this will be compatible with Sonos?

A lack of Sonos support would kill Apple Music for me. If there's an Android app, there's hope though.
