Apple raising iTunes Match limit to 100,000 tracks

Apple is raising the iTunes match limit from 25,000 to 100,000 songs.

The company announced that the limit would quadruple from 25,000 tracks back in June, and now some users are reporting that the increase is slowly but surely being rolled out.

Apple is yet to confirm this, but a number of iTunes users on Twitter are reporting that they are now able to add more than 25,000 songs to the service without any issues. One user provided a screenshot that shows that they have added almost 29,000 songs.

Have you noticed an increase to your iTunes Match limit yet, or are you still being blocked from adding more than 25,000 songs?

Samsung finally agrees to pay Apple $548 million

 

Almost five years after Apple originally sued Samsung for infringing smartphone patents, it seems like the South Korean manufacturer is ready to pay up. In a joint court statement from both companies, Samsung has confirmed that it will pay Apple $548 million before December 14th if it receives an invoice from the iPhone-maker before the weekend. After years of lawsuits and appeals, collecting more than half a billion dollars is a significant win for Apple.

Apple Giving away $60 Gift Card with latest beats products!

 

Apple is giving away a $60 gift card with all of its latest Beats products until Monday, December 28. The gift card can be used to buy digital goods from the App Store, iTunes, and the iBooks Store — but Apple encourages customers to spend it on six months of Apple Music instead.

The Offer is valid for purchases from 1-800-MY-APPLE, Apple.com and an Apple Retailer between December 3rd to December 28th.

Here are a list of products that are eligible

  • Beats Pro Headphones
  • Beats Studio Headphones
  • Beats Studio Wireless Headphones
  • Beats Solo2 Headphones
  • Beats Solo2 Wireless Headphones
  • Beats Powerbeats2 Headphones
  • Beats Powerbeats2 Wireless In-Ear Headphones
  • Beats Tour2 Headphones
  • Beats Pill+ Speaker

The $60 credit, which you’ll get with your purchase, “can be used towards an Apple Music membership,” Apple states on its promo page, but its small print confirms that the gift card can also be spent in the iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, and iBooks Store.

With Christmas right around the corner, this is a great offer many Apple fans will surely take advantage of — and it will almost certainly boost Beats sales over the festive period, as Apple would hope.

iPhone 7 to ditch headphone jack to make the phone thinner

 

The iPhone 7 may ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack in order to make the phone a few millimeters thinner. Apple might also include earpods that connect through the lighting port of the phone instead. This will be pretty annoying as we can no more use whatever earphones we like on the phone. User can also use bluetooth headphones which have become increasingly popular throughout the years.

Right now this is just speculation form some reliable sources.

In the U.S., the miniature computer will be available online from Adafruit and in-store at branches of Micro Center. Eben Upton, the founder of Raspberry Pi, says that the company has “built several tens of thousands of units so far, and are building more, but we expect demand to outstrip supply for the next little while.”
