Taylor Swift To Get Apple To Change 5 Things | For Us, Please.

This weekend, Taylor Swift asked Apple nicely to change its tune regarding how artists get paid from its new Apple Music service. And,it worked. Apple originally said it would not be paying artist royalties during users’ three-month free trial period of Apple Music. But Taylor Swift, spoke out against this — not for herself, but for new artists, young songwriters, and pioneering producers who haven’t yet had the success of five wildly successful albums, like she has. “Three months is a long time to go unpaid and it is unfair to ask anyone to work for nothing,” she wrote. Apple reversed its stance and announced it would pay artists royalties during the free trial period, within hours of Swift’s post.

She clearly has the Midas touch and can we ask Taylor Swift to get Apple to change 5 things for us, please?

1. Stop Charging Crazy Amount For Chargers

You can grab a third-party Lightning cable for under $10 on Amazon, so why does an Apple brand cable cost double that? We’ve spent an ungodly amount on replacement chargers in our many years as devoted iPhone and Mac users. It would be nice to at least get a few chargers on the cheap.

2. Please Make TouchID Work

You press on your iPhone 6’s home button and: “Try again.” Press again: “Try Again.” What is that? A lot of people have a lot of problems with Touch ID working properly. Taylor Swift, please use your magic to get Apple to whip its fingerprint-sensing technology into shape.

3. A Place To Store Files

It’s incredibly frustrating that in 2015, there is no local file storage on the iPhone or iPad. Instead, you have to store downloaded files in iCloud or an app like Dropbox or Google Drive. We should have a dedicated place on our device for storing files.

4. We Set The Default Maps Application

You’re checking out a new restaurant on Yelp, and you tap to get directions when, no! The app takes you to Apple Maps by default rather than to your mapping app of choice, Google Maps. It’s time users got the option to set their default mapping app; there are multiple great ones out there.

5. Ability To Delete Stock Apple Apps

Stocks and Game Center are just wasting space in that tucked-away folder. Can you just let us delete these apps already? Put them in the App Store, like Keynote and GarageBand, we can just re-download them if we change our minds.

Thanks Taylor for this big favor……
