Today the Verge says that Warner is all but signed up at rates comparable to what Pandora pays the labels – which is to say a lot....

Having a phone with super fast charging is becoming the norm, but sadly some of the manufacturers are also catching the “Apple” diseases. Meaning, that they are on purpose not packaging the phone charger in directly. And their own branded extra offerings can get quite pricy, so the customer can be often rather looking elsewhere. Sometimes they will be even able to find a much better 3rd party charger, that can offer quite extra perks....

With the release of a new iPhone naturally comes issues that are discovered by users. Every year, one or two of these issues tends to gather a substantial amount of attention. With the iPhone 12, it appears one of these issues lies with the display. Users have begun to report display issues with the new iPhone 12, including a greenish tint and flickering.

For a company of Apple’s stature that relies on a wide array of Asian suppliers to ship millions of gadgets to the market every month, I’ve always felt even the smallest disruption in supply chain could spell trouble. The March 11 disaster that struck Japan has affected a lot of firms that make electronics components like memory chips and touch panels. Apple reduces risks by working with multiple suppliers, but it still depends on the weakest supplier....

While it may seem like the company is giving up a significant amount of money, new estimates from analyst firm Sensor Tower show that Apple’s revenue is expected to decrease by only 5% with the program. The research first obtained by CNBC reveals that both Apple and Google, which also announced a similar program on Tuesday, are unlikely to be affected by cutting the fees they charge developers....
