Microsoft will shut down Cortana app in January

If you're using the Cortana app on your iOS or Android device, then you have until the end of January 2020 to have access to it. Microsoft will be ending support for the app on January 31. Instead, the personal digital assistant will be integrated into Microsoft 365 productivity apps, including Outlook. The Cortana content you made—which include lists and reminders—will no longer be accessible by that date on Cortana mobile and the Microsoft Launcher. Access to these pieces of information will be through Cortana on Windows. If you want access to them on mobile, you will need to download the free Microsoft To Do app.

What isn't clear at the moment is how Surface Headphones owners will be able to configure the settings and update the firmware now. Cortana is how you'll be able to do this. 

Apple might bundle its TV, music, and news services under one subscription in 2020

The rumour that Apple intended to combine its different subscription services under one plan might be happening as soon as next year. Bloomberg reports that a recent deal with publishers includes a provision that allows the News+ subscription to be part of the bundle. Apple is also reportedly in talks with labels to make a similar deal. 

The move is a logical one. But what isn't know is how much the bundle will cost. Right now, Apple News+ costs $12.99, Apple TV+ is $5.99, Apple Music goes for $9.99, and Apple Arcade costs $4.99, which rounds that out at around $34. Apple could price it at $30 or lower. But we'll only know for sure if or when Apple decides to push through with this plan. It is unclear if its partners will agree with the arrangement as well.
