The feature isn’t actually running yet, but likely will be when the mobile operating system gets its full launch. This beta also includes the addition of more wallpapers, new CarPlay changes and more.
Mix: Apple has filed a patent that could return the mix tape to popularity, reports AppleInsider. The new patent isn’t for a physical mix tape, but rather a digital one. It details a system where users would be able to create custom lists of content, including songs, movies and more, into a mix tape for their friends to enjoy. The digital mix tape could be sent via iCloud and would allow the creator specific control over how it’s listened to. This could include the ability to turn off track skipping, not showing song titles until they play and more.
