Latest news
- May 5: In the US, Apple lost a court case, and has allowed developers to link to external purchase mechanisms. Spotify was among one of the first to make a change to their app. The ruling may make it easier for podcast app developers to link to purchases without having to pay Apple’s 30% “app-tax”; Patreon has said it will also make changes to its app. It only applies to the US for now; though we can expect the EU to take a keen interest.
- May 2: Phone and computer manufacturer Apple’s latest financial report was released. The financial call mentioned podcasts once; Apple Services, the division that Apple Podcasts is part of, saw an all-time revenue record of $26.6bn.
- May 1: Marco Arment, the developer of Overcast, made a YouTube video about his e-ink notetaker. John Spurlock freeze-framed it when he briefly showed his Overcast to-do list. So, now we know that coming up is a rewrite of the Apple Watch app and some CarPlay work; but also a new “you might also like” feature, and a “nicer directory”.
