With mere hours to go before Apple's Spring Loaded event, rumors are still trickling in. Here's the latest speculation we've heard:
A Podcasts service might join Apple One: While Apple's spring event will be primarily a hardware event, there might be some software and service on the way, too. We're fully expecting the general releases of iOS, iPad OS, and tvOS 14.5, macOS Big Sur 11.3, and watchOS 7.4, there might be one other piece of software on the way too: a new Podcasts service. According to Peter Kafka of Recode Media, Apple will be unveiling a new paid podcast subscription service today. It would be a move in response to Spotify's own podcast network and Facebook's plans to create a suite of audio tools.
