New features to be included in Apple Music for Dolby Atmos & Lossless Music

I have been using my Apple music for past few months and have been getting glued to the platform precisely due to the sound quality and exclusive Dolby Atmos features. However, with introduction of new lossless and Dolby Atmos features to the Apple's music catalog, there should have been few must have features. Following are my suggestions for incorporating new features into Apple Music. 

• Icon in notification center showcasing the music quality: When I hear the songs in Apple music, often I get confused about the quality of the song, whether the song is encoded in Lossless music or have advanced Dolby Atmos quality. So, each time to check the quality of the song, I had to open my iPhone and open music application and check whether the song displays Lossless or Dolby Atmos icon above the lyrics text. To overcome this constraint, Apple could have just introduced an icon in the notification box in home screen to identify whether the song is played in Lossless quality or at Dolby Atmos quality. 
• Creation of station from home screen: I often hear random songs while working and most the times my mood changes after hearing the song. So, now when I wanted to create a station for the song, I had to open my music application and create station for similar music. I understand that the station for a particular song can be created with Siri, and it would be helpful if there is an option to create station from home screen with an icon. 

The addition of above features to Apple music would make the application must have for most music lovers and enthusiasts. To read more such articles, please feel free to check out the "G R Team Sites"

Signing off – Goodbye to Google photos

I have been detailing in my earlier articles that I have been thinking to move away from Google photos due to its recent notifications about storage quota counting against the account limit for photos and users had to pay for added storage options. With no options left, I had to make hard decision to move away from Google photos for following reasons. 

• Long term practical option: the major tech giants have decided to charge users for storing their data online. With no options left, we have found affordable online cloud storage choice and Google has exorbitant pricing for its storage plan. Additionally, I also had to look out for reliable online cloud storage choice for my family as well. Google offers only extremely limited storage option for family sharing and the prices were exceeding my budget. OneDrive offers the lowest pricing per GB and has dedicated 1 TB storage options for family members. These attractive storage plan seems to be the most practical in long term for its pricing and access to office suite of apps. 
• Added benefits: Google online cloud storage prices were less compared to Apple but does not offer any added benefits with storage plan and are limited only individual GMAIL account. However, with OneDrive storage plan, users can also get access to its exclusive office apps and can additionally activate those office applications in individual devices. 

With above listed reasons, the time has come for me to bid goodbye to Google photo as my photo’s backup and online storage choice. For more such articles, please feel free to check out the G R TEAM SITES.

The next product launch from Apple will happen only on September and I am sure there will be large leaks and rumours on upcoming releases. I wanted to put out some of my expectations on Apple products, rather than focusing on all products I will dedicate this post on next generation Apple MacBook models. Here are my predictions. 

• Three versions of MacBook: With recent launch of iMac 24 inches, it is evident that there will three versions of MacBook. 
• 12-inch MacBook: this will be the basic or starting version of MacBook. The price may start from $1199 and may even include M1X processor. This model will use the same screen resolution as the earlier version and the other difference from rest of the models is the reduced GPU performance. 
• 14-inch MacBook: this will be the mid-level version of the MacBook. The price may start from $1299-$1399 and will include the same M1X processor. This model will also use the same screen resolution as the earlier version and the other difference is that it will have better GPU performance than the base model.

My MacBook Pro battery had swollen

I was using Apple MacBook Pro for about 4+ years and I really felt comfortable using the laptop, little did I knew that I was about to meet a disaster. My MacBook Pro was working butter smooth all these while and for past few days I was experiencing strange behavior in my MacBook Pro. The machine was quite hot near the trackpad and usually, if I push hard my machine it gets hotter only near the monitor and strangely it was other way around. I was worried about its impact and out of curiosity, I opened up my MacBook Pro ‘s back panel to check out the abnormal heat activity near the trackpad. After opening the lid, I had complete shock to see my MacBook Pro’s battery was slightly swollen and the battery shape was abnormal. My mood was completely upset, as I wanted to use my MacBook Pro for more than a year as well. With broken heart, I put back the lid to laptop and ensured that the screws near swollen battery was loose and since it had heart issues, I kept the lid slightly opened for smooth air flow and with hope that battery issue will be sorted out. However, the exact opposite thing happened, and I had to look out for other plans.
