🎵 Apple Music streaming integration with ChatGPT

It’s already available to chatbot users.

📱 Apple Music can be added to ChatGPT through the settings in the iOS app, on Mac, or in the web version. To connect, a user will need to sign in using the Apple Account.

🆓 ChatGPT can be used to search for songs, artists, albums, and playlists in the Apple Music catalog, with the ability to listen to track snippets right in the chatbot — even without the streaming subscription.

🔒 Listening history and user playlists remain private. ChatGPT can add content to your Apple Music library, but it does not have read access.

📱 iPhone Air 2 сould still launch in fall 2026

📰 Insider Fixed Focus Digital claims that Apple is still considering launching the second-generation iPhone Air in fall 2026. According to the source, this plan is currently being discussed internally.

ℹ️ Previously, The Information and Bloomberg reported that the iPhone Air 2 could be delayed until spring 2027, alongside the base iPhone 18 and the more affordable 18e. The potential delay was linked to weak sales of the first-generation model, prompting Apple to reassess its strategy.

🔎 The iPhone Air 2 is expected to feature a second camera (ultra-wide), a larger battery, improved cooling with a vapor chamber, and possibly even a lower price.
