• iOS 10.3.3 – Expect major updates to iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS.  Each recent update has baked iTunes and Apple Music more deeply into Apple's operating system.  We expect that trend to continue.

• Apple Music -  Jimmy Iovine told Bloomberg that Apple Music is being redesigned to feature much more video. It would seem that now is the time d timing since Apple’s first original video shows are being release soon over the net few weeks

• iTunes / Apple Music – Both services feel clunky compared the sleekness that we're used to Apple delivering. If someone did a customer satisfaction survey, we suspect that Spotify would top Apple. This may just be wishful thinking, but this could be the time that both see an upgrade. 

• Siri Speaker – Apple's voice assistant Siri is almost certainly getting a major update.  And this could well be when a Siri Speaker that competes with  Amazon Echo and Google Home.  If so, will it just play Apple Music on demand or will Spotify and others be invited to the party?
