I believe apple are going to be launching an iMessage for android app soon too. Also, I think I must be the only person to hate apple music since it launched.

The important thing is that they are on the right path: - Search is now a separate tab. - The more options (three dots) menu now makes sense. - The interface elements, such as the Now Playing bar, are larger and easier to tap. What they need to change: - The title font is too large, bold and print-like. I think this is main thing that's bothering people about the new design, but it's easily fixed. - Too much white. Invert the colours of the bottom tab bar. Maybe make the Now Playing bar darker. But the white background everywhere else helps with clarity.

murpho999 wrote: » Well they are all encrypted and I really wouldn't worry about how they make profits or the privacy issue. Go install the app and use it. It's good and I'm sure not everyone you know uses apple. Also, I don't think Facebook paid U$19bn just to have it and let it die off. It's very successful and will be around for a long time.

Sad Professor wrote: » Well, they are unprofitable and recently abandoned their subscription model. And the last I heard they were ranked worst for privacy. I wasn't referring specifically to Whatsapp, though, but messaging apps in general, most of which probably don't have much of a future. In the case of Whatsapp, I can't see Facebook keeping it as a separate entity forever. They'll either it merge it or let it die off. They seemingly only bought it to stop someone else from getting it. .

Part of the appeal of iMessage to me is the seamless integration with SMS. I don't want a dozen other apps with questionable revenue streams and dodgy privacy policies doing the same thing.

I wouldn't call it huge, but he probably has stepped away a bit. But it's not like he was ever very present at keynotes and there generally isn't any big hardware announcements at WWDC requiring his presence. The Apple Music redesign is apparently being spearheaded by Reznor. Ive would have a rubber-stamping role in it at best.

Every year there's a few features that get dropped before release. And this is exactly the kind of thing that if any bugs show up between now and September, Apple will just say "screw it, leave it for next year". If they were committed to it I think they would have mentioned it in the keynote.
