AirPods With Water Resistance Still Reportedly On Track For 2019

Earlier this year, Apple launched their second-gen AirPods. It offered up some improvements over its predecessor, although there were rumors that there could also be a water-resistant model in the works, which according to Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives is apparently still on track for 2019.

According to the research note, Ives claims that Apple’s new AirPods will be released in time for the holiday shopping season later this year and could apparently sport some design enhancements. It is unclear as to what kind of design changes we could be looking at, but for the most part, the first-gen and second-gen AirPods are similar in design, although admittedly they do look like Apple’s regular earbuds minus the cables.

It does seem odd that Apple would release two AirPods in a single year, and we imagine that there might be some who might be miffed that Apple has a new set of AirPods not too long after the second-gen’s release. That being said, this might not be Apple’s only attempts at creating a new set of headphones.

There have also been rumors that Apple could be working on a pair of over-ear headphones that could also be planned for a late 2019 launch. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but hopefully we’ll have more details in the coming months.

‘Friends’ Will Be Leaving Netflix At The End Of 2019

Back in 2015, “Friends” was released on Netflix. While the series has ended its run years ago, the fact that it is still one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time means that many still tune in to watch or rewatch it. However, according to a report from last year, it was suggested that the series could be leaving Netflix soon.

It turns out that the rumors were true because in a tweet by Netflix’s Twitter account, the company has confirmed that the show will be leaving their platform at the end of the year. The show will be making its move to HBO Max, which for those unfamiliar is AT&T’s WarnerMedia’s new streaming service.

The show will be exclusive to HBO Max which means that you’ll need to subscribe to the service if you want to be able to stream the series. It is unclear how long this exclusivity will last, but it is expected to be exclusive at launch. No doubt this will be a blow to Netflix who seems to be losing shows to various streaming services, such as their Marvel shows to Disney+.

It was also previously reported that prior to launching on HBO Max, both Apple and Hulu were rumored to have placed bids on getting Friends onto their respective streaming platforms.

Apple Music’s Student Trial Period Has Been Doubled To Six Months

Apple Music is currently a paid-only subscription, although they do offer subscribers a free 3-month trial before requiring them to pay for it. However, the good news is that if you’re a student, then you’ll be pleased to learn that Apple has since doubled the duration of the free trial period.

This means that students will now be able to enjoy a free 6-month subscription which is actually a pretty damn long time if you think about it. Following that, students will be required to continue paying for the service, albeit at a discounted rate of $4.99 a month which is about half of what Apple requires “normal” users to pay.

Unfortunately, this new trial is only applicable for new subscribers. If you have yet to sign up for an Apple Music subscription, all you’ll need is an active student email and you will also need to sign up for it through UNiDAYS. For those who have already subscribed or have already used their free trial, it seems that you’re out of luck, although if you’re still a student you can still take advantage of the $4.99 monthly subscription.

Apple Music is currently doing pretty well for itself where back in June, Apple had confirmed that the music streaming service was now home to at least 60 million subscribers.
