Chance Miller:

Here are the new monthly prices for Apple Music and Apple One as of today:

Apple Music

• Individual: $11.99 (up from $10.99)
• Family: $19.99 (up from $16.99)
• Student: $6.99 (up from $5.99)

Apple One

• Individual: $19.95 (unchanged)
• Family: $27.95 (up from $25.95)
• Premier: $39.95 (up from $37.95)

The price increases for Apple Music come after Spotify announced its own round of price hikes earlier this year, which Apple poked fun at on social media. Even with today’s price hikes, though, Apple Music remains cheaper than Spotify.

Lee Peterson:

Apple Music no longer makes sense when I’m already paying for YouTube Premium. Apple Music goes up to £11.99, YouTube Premium is £12.99 and on top of a good music service you get no ads on YouTube.

Mike Rockwell:

Distilling my longtime argument down to its simplest bit, I’d ask “do you want to pay $10 a month for music for the rest of your life?”

But truly, it was never going to just be $10 per month. The price was going to go up over time. It was going to get more expensive to have access to the same music.

If you purchase your music, though, I think most people would reach a point in their life where they stop buying new music entirely or they’re only buying a few albums per year. The cost of music would go down for you over time.

That was my thinking, too, but then I found that music I’ve purchased from Apple won’t work on my HomePod. I refuse to condone that behavior, so now I have two solid reasons not to subscribe to Apple Music.

Joe Rossignol:

While the monthly and annual prices of AppleCare+ plans for Macs and iPads received a slight increase this week, AppleCare One continues to start at $19.99 per month in the U.S., making the multi-device plan even more valuable.

Jason Koebler (tweet, Reddit):

The AI music generation tool Suno scraped millions of songs and lyrics from YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius, as well as from the stock music libraries Pond5, Jamendo, Freesound, the International Music Score Library Project, and podcasts via RSS feeds, according to a hacker who breached the company and shared data about Suno’s training libraries with 404 Media. The hacker was also able to access user information for hundreds of thousands of Suno’s customers, as well as Stripe payment information, they said.

[…]

As part of these legal proceedings, Suno previously admitted that it was trained on “essentially all music files of reasonable quality that are accessible on the open internet,” which included a total of “tens of millions of recordings.” Suno has been making the argument that it is allowed to train on copyrighted works as fair use in those cases, one of which has been settled.

Corbin Bolies:

Suno has long acknowledged that its AI music generator relied on the scraping of millions of songs available across the internet, but a new hack reveals just how the company pulled from streaming services and websites[…] all while user information remained vulnerable.

[…]

“Our goal has always been to help people create original new music, not replicate someone else’s. That’s why we build our models around what we call ‘Original Creation, By Design,’” the spokesperson said in a statement. “For example, we intentionally do not use artist names as a category of training metadata because we want our models to help people create brand new songs, not music that replicates other artists’ existing work. It’s also why we built Suno with detection filters that block or prevent a user from using specific artist, song, or album names as prompts, and prevent users from uploading lyrics or sound recordings that match existing works.”

O WhatsApp oficializou hoje um conjunto de novidades para usuários de recursos e dispositivos da Apple, com destaque especial para o CarPlay e o iPad — que só ganhou um app do mensageiro no ano passado.

No caso do sistema de infoentretenimento da Maçã, foi revelada uma reformulação completa da experiência, que inclui agora a possibilidade de ouvir e responder mensagens com as mãos livres. Também passou a ser possível fazer ligações, consultar o histórico delas e acessar seus favoritos diretamente da multimídia do veículo.

Usuários de iPad, por sua vez, agora podem criar uma conta na plataforma e configurá-la diretamente do tablet, o que os livra também de ter que conectar o app a um smartphone. Segundo o mensageiro, essa adição era um dos principais pedidos dos usuários.

Agora é possível usar o iPad como dispositivo primário no WhatsApp

O WhatsApp também oficializou a possibilidade de compartilhar uma música do Apple Music ou do Spotify na forma de um status, expandindo as possibilidades de expressão nessa seção do app.

Por fim, também foi anunciada uma integração com o Adobe Acrobat para permitir que usuários abram PDFs diretamente do WhatsApp Web (ou do app para Windows) sem precisar baixá-los. Também passou a ser possível fazer edições simples, como destacar e adicionar comentários, sem deixar o mensageiro e com criptografia de ponta a ponta.

Segundo a Meta, essas novidades já foram liberadas para todos os usuários do WhatsApp.
