Not for a minute would I accuse you of throwing an “hissyfit”, just like me you obviously feel very strongly about Apple not playing fair with those of us who choose to put our money in their bank account and not one of their rivals… I was 26 a couple of weeks ago and I’ve not known any other brand than Apple since I was given my first iPhone by my parents. I’ve taken on board everything you’ve said and understood 100%.

PLEASE APPLE IF YOU ARE WORKING ON ADDING CROSSFADING TO THE NATIVE iOS APPLE MUSIC APP LET US KNOW SOMEHOW AND BY DOING SO AVOID USERS OF YOUR FANTASTIC PHONES DEFECTING TO ANDROID WHEN THAT COULD BE AVOIDED BY A SIMPLE BUT MUCH NEEDED UPDATE TO iOS APPLE MUSIC BRINGING CROSSFADING TO IT. I’m not planning on abandoning iPhone because a feature I really want is currently missing from iOS Apple Music but I’m definitely thinking of dumping Apple Music if crossfading isn’t brought to it soon, I can’t afford to carry on paying for 2 music streaming services every month, currently £20 per month between the 2 of them, so based on the fact that Spotify is the app that helps me enjoy my playlists most because of crossfading (and it does a fantastic job helped by my choosing tracks for my playlists that contribute to how good the crossfading sounds…) Spotify is the music streaming app that will probably continue to be used on my iPhone 12 Pro Max eventually! I love being a citizen of the Applesphere but it leaves a nasty taste in my mouth to see Android users of Apple Music be given a feature that should have come to iPhone first (and this topic existing on Apple Communities shows I’m not alone in feeling strongly about Apple giving crossfading to the Android app before the iOS version…). iPhone has only become better with each “reiteration” not less! The fact that Apple Music for iOS hasn’t got crossfading at the moment surely doesn’t rule out it being added some time in the future, if Apple doesn’t want to start haemorrhaging users of it’s fantastic phones to Android devices because of something that they could fix with an iOS Apple Music app update bringing the iOS version in line with the Android version, then they must see it is in Apple’s financial interests to give users of the iOS Apple Music the much desired feature of crossfading ASAP. But to say you are planning on abandoning your iPhone for Android is a bit drastic IMHO.

Apple cancel spotify over support
