The feature that lets you charge followers to access extra content is now called “Subscriptions,” the same name as a similar feature on Twitch.
It’s not the first feature to get a rebrand since Elon Musk took over the company — Birdwatch was turned into Community Notes, which former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey called “the most boring Facebook name ever.” I wonder what he thinks of Subscriptions.
I have so many questions about this clip. Why is Tim Cook on stage with Diplo? Why does he look so uncomfortable? Is Diplo actually trying to recreate the Bono finger touch moment? And — most importantly — am I going to wake up tomorrow with a Diplo wallpaper, or “Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley, Chapter 2: Electric Boogaloo” in my Apple Music library?
Apple didn’t immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment.
Microsoft reportedly offered Sony a deal that would keep Call of Duty on PlayStations for at least the next 10 years, according to The New York Times. This is after it offered a three-year deal, which Sony called “inadequate,” and as Xbox boss Phil Spencer is telling the public that “you will have Call of Duty on PlayStation for as long as there is a PlayStation.”
Spencer said on Decoder that you can’t make contracts for “forever,” so it seems like this is Microsoft’s shot at a long-term agreement.
