Apple could launch up to 5 more Beats stations. The programs can be listened to from the recording (4.)
According to the magazine The Verge Apple has signed a deal with record companies that includes up to 5 more Beats radio stations. According to the Internet addresses that Apple already has registered (beats2.hk, beats2.sg or beats2.com.ru), a station aimed at users in the Eastern Hemisphere could start broadcasting. Live Beats radio currently only runs 12 hours a day, and new stations in areas such as Singapore or China could extend this time slot.
Apple also launched a new feature for Beats 1 during the week. It's now possible to listen to entire shows in a podcast-like format on Connect on each DJ's page. However, you cannot add individual tracks to your favorites or interact with them in any way. This is, of course, possible from the playlists of individual shows, which contain only songs without comments from the presenters and which have been available since the end of June.

Apple spends $700 annually to protect Tim Cook (August 7)
In the US Securities and Exchange Commission document, we can find some interesting items that reveal how much Apple is paying Tim Cook in various areas. Apple spends $700 a year (17 million crowns) to keep the director of the Californian company safe. That may seem like a lot of money, but compared to other CEOs in Silicon Valley, it's nowhere near the most. Amazon, for example, will spend $1,5 million to protect its Jeff Bezos once. Otherwise, Tim Cook has never spent too much, for example, he lives in a house with an area of 220 square meters.

A week in a nutshell
Apple Music service has been running for more than a month, 11 million users listen to it, Eddy Cue is from it enthusiastic a he was talking Jimmy Iovine also talked about her. But Apple is not resting on its laurels and is still working on new projects – BMW wanted Tim Cook teach, how to make an electric car, the California company is rumored to be able to have plans to become a virtual operator, which was immediately refuted, expands its office to San Jose, plus Apple as well connected the main website with an online store.
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs is constantly being praised by artists - for a new movie came out the TV trailer and even Jobs is going to and opera. IBM continues to support Apple and passes largely on the Mac and US lawmakers I wish, for Apple and other companies to publish data on the diversity of their workforce.
I think Apple has a problem - there are rapidly fewer people around who buy another iPhone after their current iPhone. Prices are prohibitively high and people are starting to believe that it is no longer a matter of increasing prices thanks to innovations, but just to get the best possible results. The iPhone 6+ I have is the last iPhone. A lot of people realized when the EPL VOČ was introduced that simply paying 10,20, XNUMX,... for something that is completely worthless will offend the file, just like me.
Stupid people will not work where there is iq and this is what our nation has!
