Apple to reportedly release streaming music service in the coming months

Spotify’s newest competitor might be making its debut soon. According to 9to5Mac, Apple is reportedly prepping its Beats-based streaming music service for an official launch. The Cupertino-based brand is said to be working on iOS 8.4, a software update that will be released after Apple Watch goes on sale in April, and the company is “currently considering” using that update to include its music service. 9to5Mac previously reported that the service might cost US$7.99 a month and it would be integrated into iPhone’s music but that hasn’t been confirmed yet. There will reportedly be an Android version of the app as well. Again take these rumours with a grain of salt. But if there is any truth to it, we’d finally see fruits of Apple’s $3 billion purchase of Beats.

Review: 27-inch iMac with 5K Retina Display

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Using the 5K iMac spoils you. Your eyes are simply treated to so much added information and depth, that going back to anything non Retina feels like you suddenly need reading glasses. It isn’t a good feeling. 

It’s really quite a shame that Apple no longer partakes of the International Consumer Electronics show  (CES) because the newest 5K Retina iMac would have undoubtedly taken the Best of Show awards.

That’s quite remarkable for a product that’s been in the market for over three months and which really stands alone in the entire industry as an all-in-one computer that also features a 27-inch Retina Display with a 5K (5120 x 2880 pixel resolution).
