Back in April, Apple announced their plans to launch a podcasts subscriptions service. It was initially pegged for a launch in May, but Apple later announced that they would be launching it in June. For those who might have been looking forward to the new feature, you’ll be pleased to hear that it has officially launched.
In case you’re hearing about this for the first time, Apple’s podcasts subscription service is where creators are now able to create and host their podcasts behind a paywall. Prior to this, creators who wanted to earn money from their podcasts would have to either solicit tips or launch a Patreon.
However, with this new subscriptions feature, creators who publish to Apple’s platform will now be able to create content behind a subscription feature, helping them earn a more stable income. As Apple already supports in-app subscriptions, users who wish to subscribe to a podcast can do so with a single-click and use their Apple ID to sign in.
As for pricing, there is no set pricing. This is because Apple is allowing creators to determine the prices for their content. However, regardless of the price that creators set, Apple will ultimately end up taking a 30% cut from it. Some might argue that it’s a steep fee, but the ease of setting up a subscription service on a platform that’s used by millions around the world, others might argue it’s a small price to pay.

At Google I/O 2021, Google made a surprising announcement when they revealed that they would be teaming up with Samsung to revamp its smartwatch platform. Originally known as Wear OS, the new platform will be known as Wear, but unfortunately apart from the announcement of the collaboration, no one really knows what to expect.
However, for those who are eager to see what kind of fruits this partnership will bear, Samsung could actually be showing it off later this month. This is because the company will be hosting a “New Watch Experience” panel at MWC on the 28th of June, meaning that there is a very good chance we could finally have an idea of what this new Wear platform could look like and what kind of features it could be packing.
According to the description of the upcoming event, “The Galaxy ecosystem of connected devices, services, and partnerships provide people with choice, freedom, and possibility. We’re reimagining smartwatches, creating new opportunities for both developers and consumers. And we’re enhancing security, giving people the protection they need in an open and connected world.”
Back when the announcement was initially made, Google claimed that this revamped Wear platform would result in devices that could launch apps 30% faster, a smoother user interface, better battery life, and would essentially merge the best of Wear OS and Tizen.

The idea of recycling plastic bottles and plastic bags sounds good on paper, but the reality is that it isn’t quite as easy. This is because it can sometimes cost more energy to recycle than it takes to produce, and as it stands, it has been estimated that plastics tend to lose 95% of their value as a material after a single use.
Naturally these factors can potentially discourage recycling, but what if there was a side-effect or benefit (other than saving our planet) to recycling? That could help make it an incentive to recycle, and that’s what researchers have done where they have managed to recycle plastic bottles and turn it into vanilin.
This is based on previous research efforts which resulted in the creation of a mutant enzyme that helps “eat” plastic and can turn plastic bottles back into its basic units, terephthalic acid (TA). Researchers then took that TA and turned it into vanilin, a chemical that is used not just in food, but also cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
What this means is by creating a useful byproduct as the result from recycling, it could make recycling a potentially revenue earner, where recycling plants could earn money by selling these chemicals to other industries. It isn’t quite ready for prime time just yet as the researchers are still working on it. They are currently planning on tweaking the bacteria to help increase the conversion rate further.
