I worry a bit about the App Store screenshot with the arcade tab. Apple Music is a permanent part of the Music app UI even when you aren't a subscriber. It is a bit of an annoyance. Now it appears Arcade will be there to bug me for a subscription in the App Store. I'm realizing now the News and TV apps will do the same thing.
These are small annoyances, but it seems like a turn in the wrong direction overall. For years the Apple ecosystem gave me the feeling that I was paying a premium, but I got great hardware, great UX, and increasing more software for free. iOS, Pages, Numbers, iMovie, etc all became free over time. Yes, it all locked me into their world, but it was a great world largely free of ads an annoyances. Now that they are adding paid services to so many products they are eroding that feeling.
- wincy 8y agoActually you can remove Apple Music from the music UI. I did this a year or two ago and it has persisted between phone upgrades and restores. https://www.tekrevue.com/tip/turn-off-apple-music-ios/ https://www.tekrevue.com/tip/turn-off-apple-music-ios/
- shakermaker83 8y agoYou can turn off the Apple Music tab in Music. Go to Settings > Music > Show Apple Music and turn it off :-)
