iTunes and Other Music Services

2014-09-30 Thread Dane Trethowan
so as to avoid any confusion, iTunes really has nothing whatever to do with an 
iPhone 6 or any other iPhone model for that matter given that - the version of 
iTunes that appears on an iPhone - is dependent on the IOS running at the time 
- in the case of an iPhone 6 that IOS would most certainly be IOS 8 and above -.

Is iTunes falling behind the times? It would be if people stopped using it 
which they're obviously not but I do understand where you're coming from and I 
think it likely that Apple will merge or form alliances with other Music 
service, I think Apple bought one recently.

 iTunes is falling behind in innovation with online music services
 severely out innovating Apple. Apple CEO Tim Cook knew he had an
 iTunes problem and had to do something different in music for Apple to
 stay cool. Apple bought Beats Music in part to modernize its music
 offerings beyond the suburban bland mediocrity that is now iTunes.
 Beats was acquired in the spring, too early to be incorporated into
 iOS8  or the iPhone of 2014, the features of which are developed and
 designed many months in advance. I believe it will be until the 2015
 introduction of the new iOS and iPhones will we see what the new
 people and change in culture will mean for Apple users. One big way
 for Apple to differentiate itself would be to re-establish the
 company’s supremacy in online and portable music.  I am looking
 forward to iOS 9 and the iPhone of 2015 to learn about any changes in
 audio from Apple on mobile devices.

 Subject: Re: Iphone 6 not impressed with the speaker.
 
 Having listened to a youtube video on a comparison between the original
 5, 6 and 6 plus, I can say that I definitely notice a difference. It's
 most noticeable between the 5 and 6, but even from the 6 and 6 plus, the
 plus does sound  a little more clearer. Unfortunately, the microphone
 that the uploader was using wasn't super high quality, but it was
 certainly decent enough to detect the levels of bass between the 5 and
 6. I've also got a buddy who's got a really nice sounding mic, a yeti,
 and while in stereo, the differences between the two phones is huge, the
 5 and 6.
 Take care.
 Blessings.

 The speaker on the iPhone 6 is more directional it seems than it was on
 
 the 5 - never had a 5S so can't speak on that subject -.
 
 I'm also sure that something has been done to the voices on the iPhone

 Hi!
 Actually i got to try the Iphone 6 today not the plus just 6.
 I can say that to me the speaker doesn't really sound that impressing.
 At least i couldn't hear any differences from the 5 s.
 Voiceover was quite distorted as it used to be so i wont really go for
 
 one even though i could.

Re: iTunes and Other Music Services

Dane,

There seems to be some confusion between iTunes the software and the
iTunes division at Apple. The company puts all its music efforts in
this division, whether or not it calls them iTunes. When it bought
Beats Music, Apple signaled that it definitely wants to shake up its
music offering.  We will see how this plays out in the next year or
two.
