Taylor Swift’s Stand Changed Apple Music
Ten years ago, Taylor Swift spoke out against Apple Music’s plan not to pay artists during the users’ free trial period. She wrote an open letter saying it was unfair to musicians, especially smaller ones. Apple listened and quickly changed its policy, agreeing to pay artists even during the free trials. This moment showed how one person’s voice could push a big company to do the right thing. It also helped shape how music streaming services treat artists today.
iOS Running on a Nintendo Switch
In other tech news, someone managed to get Apple’s iOS operating system working on a Nintendo Switch. This unusual project was done just for fun, showing how creative and determined tech fans can be. The Switch, which usually runs its software for games, was made to run iOS through a lot of technical work. Even though it’s not practical for everyday use, it’s a cool example of what’s possible when people experiment with technology.
Why These Stories Matter
Both stories highlight how people—whether a famous musician or a creative tech fan—can influence big companies and technology. Taylor Swift’s actions led to better treatment for artists, while running iOS on a Switch shows the fun and possibilities in tech tinkering. These moments remind us that even big changes can start with one person’s idea or effort.
