Apple Music and YouTube Music Joins hands for Seamless Playlist Transfer

Apple and Google join hands to "officially" enable seamless playlist transfer b/w their music apps. This new option arrives via Google and Apple both using the “Data Transfer Project” stack which was developed by the two companies as a part of the Data Transfer Initiative, of which both Google and Apple are members. This same ongoing partnership has also previously delivered the photo-sharing tool used to transfer photos and videos from iCloud to Google Photos.

Only the playlists you've created (including collaborative playlists that you own) are transferred. Music files, non-collaborative shared playlists and curated playlists, and folders in which you've organized your Apple Music playlists are not transferred. If the service you're transferring to doesn't have specific songs, then obviously they won't be transferred either.

Spotify can CRY in the corner and continue blaming Apple

Google released Android 15 update to AOSP

Android 15 is finally available for AOSP (Android Open Source Project). However, Google has NOT yet rolled out Android 15 stable for its own Pixel smartphones. It's likely delayed due to platforms bugs and is expected to roll out next month,
mid-October.

The Android 15 update brings several new features and changes like Private Space, which creates a separate profile that users can hide apps in, a screen recording detection API, predictive back gesture, changes to background activity launches etc. You can view full list of changes in Android 15 here.

Android 15 won't seem like a major update as many features will get shipped with QPRs releases such as Audio Sharing, a revamped Desktop Mode, the Tiny Taskbar, lock screen widgets etc. However, apart from Google, most OEMs don't incorporate platform changes in QPRs into their updates.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Series Lineup will only use Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Chipset

All models of Galaxy S25 series across the lineup, irrespective of the country/region, will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 For Galaxy or the Leading Version chipset, instead of Exynos 2500. This is a different strategy from the Galaxy S24, which uses Samsung's self-developed 'Exynos' and Qualcomm's 'Snapdragon' together.

The Exynos 2500 is said to be reserved to power the next gen Samsung Galaxy Z Foldables. It makes sense though because the Exynos 2500 will be ready by that time since Samsung foldables will debut in second-half of 2025

For now, Samsung's semiconductor division will focus on improving the performance and stability of the Exynos 2500 chip. Samsung Device Solutions business has reportedly ordered executives of its foundry business to improve its 3nm and more advanced semiconductor chip fabrication processes to secure competitiveness in the market.
