Well I think that they should be paid but that is between the musicians and the company. I will continue to support Apple only because they have the best products. Until that changes then perhaps I will go with another company. My family is exclusively Apple in all electronics. The only thing I can’t bring myself to get and nobody in my family is interested at the moment is the Apple Watch. I don’t wear a watch myself so I can’t ever see myself getting one. My wife wears a watch but likes the one she wears. A couple kids wear a watch but have so far shown zero interest in having an Apple Watch. My youngest will not get an Apple Watch. We don’t even allow them cell phones until they are 10 much to the dismay of the ones who are not ten yet.......Every single one of the kids hated that rule and after 4 kids, my wife and I have NOT relented on that rule. I think it is crazy for a kid to have a cell phone under 10 but some look at us like we are horrible because it can be used to keep kids safe which is true but again 10 for our family. What other families do with their kids is their business.

I just don't like Apple products. They seem counter-intuitive to me. Maybe if I was tech savvy, I would like them, but they are not for tech challenged old broads like me.

I have Samsung — phone, tablet and “Smart TV” — and I'm happy with all three.

Why not moan and groan about the millionaire artists? Apple is giving a free trial period for folks to see if they like it. The artists do they same thing with snippets and previews and other ‘promotional’ stuff.

Sorry Taylor Swift that you can’t earn even more money for a few weeks

well, I don’t buy Apple stuff because they’re expensive and I get get the same quality at a lower price (but minus the “apple cool”), but what they are doing to musicians here is just mean.
