Take your Alexa music experience on the Amazon Echo smart speaker to the next level by adding specific services to it, playing them with voice commands, and setting a preferred streaming platform as the default.
Spotify yesterday filed an antitrust complaint against Apple with Europe's competition watchdog, saying App Store's 15-30 percent levy on iOS subscriptions is unfair and anti competitive. The lawsuit could set a major precedent because it might radically shake up the App Store economics should Apple be found guilty of anticompetitive behavior.
Apple said today its Worldwide Developers Conference is taking place from June 3 through 7 at San Jose’s McEnery Convention Center, confirming earlier detective work by MacRumors.

If you need yet another sign that Apple has been refocusing on pushing services to as many people as possible, then look no further than the latest expansion of its existing partnership with Amazon that now includes Apple Music on the Fire TV HDMI dongles.
Apple is gearing up to unveil a TV streaming service later this month and one of last-minute discussions with content owners ahead of launch involves Fremantle, which co-produces reality shows like "American Idol", "America's Got Talent", "The Price is Right" and "Family Feud".
The song identification service Shazam, owned by Apple, updated its apps on App Store with handy timestamps appearing next to your Shazamed songs.
Every iOS device sports a Dock at the bottom of its Home screen, but not every Dock is created equally. Case in point, anyone who has used an iPad before has likely taken notice of unique behavior that isn’t necessarily present on iPhones and iPod touches; more specifically, the iPad’s Dock shows recently-used apps in a separate section just right of the usually docked icons.
This is just one of several ways that the iPad makes multitasking easier, and with that in mind, iOS developer Kiran Patil set out to port many of these features to other iOS devices. The end result? – a jailbreak tweak dubbed FloatingDockPlus is now available to download from Cydia.
While I enjoy the seamless software experience that the iPhone brings to the table, I still must admit that the mobile platform’s notification system leaves a lot to be desired. As it would seem, iOS developers Luke Muris and Geometric Software felt the same way, and so a new jailbreak tweak called ModernAlerts was born.
As it would seem, ModernAlerts draws most of its inspiration from the tvOS platform; as such, it themes your incoming notifications to look more like what you’d expect to see on your Apple TV. But the tweak doesn’t stop there… it takes things a step further by providing users with a full range of theming options.
The official YouTube app incorporates a native dark mode that can help ease the stress on your eyes when using the app in a dark environment, and while it’s great, it’s also far from customizable. With that shortcoming in mind, iOS developer Revulate has just released a new free jailbreak tweak called GrooveTube.
After installing GrooveTube, you can manually configure the color scheme of the YouTube app’s dark mode to your liking. In the before and after screenshot examples above, you’ll observe how we’ve re-colored the YouTube app background to be darker and altered the tab bar tint color to be red.
