Apple launches beta program for Apple TV app in the US

Earlier this week, Apple launched the updated version of its Apple TV app (among other new features). Now, the said app is available officially through the company’s beta program through public beta versions iOS 12.3 and tvOS 12.3. This version brings the new Apple TV channels feature, which lets you subscribe directly to your favorite premium channels. The beta version supports Showtime, Starz, The Smithsonian Channel, and Tastemade. There is also a new For You section that recommends you things to watch based on your watch history. What’s missing at the moment is the new ad-free Apple TV+ streaming service, which houses the company’s original content. We’re expected to hear more about that in the fall.

Spotify tests out Premium Duo

For couples or roommates who want to save a bit on their Spotify subscription, the streaming service is testing out a new plan. It’s called Premium Duo and it offers two Premium subscriptions for 12.49 euro per month. The catch for this subscription plan is you need to provide an address to make sure you and the person you’re sharing a plan with live in the same place. On top of the discounted price, you both get an auto-generated playlist called Duo Mix based on your listening habits. The playlist has “Chill” and “Upbeat” options to let you switch between songs with different tempos. You’re also allowed to share your playlists with your Duo partner. This feature is currently being tested in Colombia, Chile, Denmark, Poland, and Ireland. Spotify hasn’t given any sign yet if it’s bringing it outside those markets.
