This is the fifth time that Apple has held a presentation without the media and bloggers, in an online format, where everything that happens is recorded in advance. The reasons for this are clear, and we will not talk about this. Let me tell you what Apple has pleased us with this spring.
Beginning of the presentation.
Traditionally, the event was opened by Apple CEO Tim Cook himself, who, visually, has noticeably gained weight during the quarantine. Standing in front of Apple Park, he spoke about healthcare, nature, and that paraguay mobile database is doing everything to preserve the ecology of our planet. He did not forget about Apple bank cards either. He presented a new family bank card with limit settings, "Apple Card Family". And then we were introduced to podcast subscriptions.
Podcasts
Updated "Podcasts".
Experienced users know how convenient this app is. Until now, it was free, until Apple decided — enough. Competitors are making money on this, and our time has come. Well, at least it's worth a try.
No, free content in podcasts will remain, but along with it there will be content that can only be accessed by subscription. The author of the podcast decides whether his podcast will be paid or not.
Apple has attracted a large number of authors who will record and post on a paid basis. And users will have the opportunity to add them to their favorites and receive recommendations from the service itself.
