Apple Music on Apple TV to get Siri integration

Perhaps in a bid to get more users to subscribe to Apple Music, the company will be adding Siri support for Apple Music on the new Apple TV. So, you can ask it to play you your favorite albums and the like. Siri’s already able to conduct universal searches for video content on the set-top box, now it will be able to do it for music, too. Well, at least it will be able to do so by early next year.

Leaked screenshots show what Apple Music might look like on Android

Apple’s foray into Android universe is its first streaming music service, Apple Music. We might be getting a look at what the service might be like courtesy of screenshots posted by German site MobileGeeks. The leaked screenshots show things like the dynamic radio stations that the Beats app currently has, individual music downloads, and curated playlists. A look at the Settings menu shows that you might be able to set downloads to happen only through Wi-Fi and you can event set a limit to local storage used by the app. You see some Android Material Design UI in there mixed with some old Beats Music DNA, which is the predecessor of Apple Music.

Apple Music introduces Guided Tours page to help you make sense of the app

Still get confused about how to use Apple Music? The tech giant is helping you out with the new “Guided Tours” section on the mini site for Apple Music. There are “tours” with videos explaining how these core functions work. The tours revolve around the For You, New, Radio, Connect, and My Music features. It would seem this is to help the people who have been complaining about the service’s confusing interface.

It doesn’t tackle the iTunes and iPad interfaces though or the app that’ll come for the fourth-generation Apple TV. Right now, it’s a critical time for the service as the trials for Apple Music will end at the end of this month. Starting October 1^st, subscribers who stay on will have to pay at least US$10 per month for the service. And we'll be able to see how much potential the service really has with the number of users who decide to stay on.

Review: iPod Touch (2015)

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

This isn't your daddy's iPod Classic. The new iPod Touch looks and feels like the last model released in 2012. It features the same 4-inch Retina Display and coloured aluminium rear casing. What's different is what Apple has managed to change on the inside.

We now have an updated Apple A8 processor which is the same as what the iPhone 6 offers. A new 8 megapixel iSight camera seriously boosts the iPod Touch picture and video taking capability by putting one of the most popular cameras in a new device. Thanks to sensor and processor, iPod Touch users can now shoot slo-mo video as well as burst-mode photos. Also onboard is the M8 motion co-processor which aids in tracking fitness.
