This thread is not about the devices though. It's about the software. After the announcement of lossless music streaming in Apple Music, I became interested in what Apple offers, services-wise.

Side-note here, I know that you ...

FEATURE PROPOSAL: Different Launcher Phone-Screens for Different Life Scenarios (Virtual Desktops, Spaces, Etc.)

Most launcher apps right now have a way to backup their settings. I know users have a tendency to say "pet feature should be easy", so I won't lapse into that. But such backup features could hopefully be easy to leverage into a new feature: the ability to switch between various setting files for different scenarios, like switching between virtual desktops on a computer.

Scenario: I'm working from home, so I make a gesture/tap an icon, and a list of saved setting files slides out. (The ...

YouTube updated to remove the explore tab and replace it with a Shorts tab

I'm using YouTube Vanced so I'm unsure if it is that, I don't believe it to be as the version hasn't updated. But I don't update the app from the Play store either. However the bottom nav bar was just updated to show a stories button.

This is what is looks like.

Please let me know if yours if like this or any articles detailing this change would be appreciated!!...
