Vikass17, 05 Mar 2024They need more migrants and more funds to serve them.So what's the joke with this one? Then let your country take them, if EU helping is not ok. Or you suggest to let them die? What a strange world, even doing good for people is blamed/funny.

It wasn't about alternate music apps, it was about alternate subscription services, like subscription purchased on website (outside of apple's influence) which are cheaper than getting it through apple.

          ROFLMAO I'm sorry but this fine is pure BS! Im not a fan of Apple but seriously not being thr biggest global music streaming provider and aweing first hand for 10yrs many alternatives this is a joke.

          Who doesnt know Spotify or Soundcloud?!

          Whom doesn't look on the internet to see what streaming apps have the music their looking for?! You know USING THE INTERNET LIKE BOOKS TO READ AND FIND STUFF OUT?!

          Is that were the human race is at now?! Cannot use the internet in a basic browser to search for things?!

                Stop it with undisclosed AI generated images in your articles! This website is going downhill and it saddens me

                  Apple should be ashamed of itself though. It's appalling how it tries to make people pay more money by banning companies from fully advertising their music services. I thought people should be given the choice about what they listen too.

                              mp3 started at 128kbps I remember then 192 and some had 300 and over.. but they tried to save the space because whe had 1GB SD cards :)
