They seem spot on
At a Microsoft event this year Apple said they plan to have a more streamlined iTunes in the Windows Store late this year/early next year (to target Windows 10 S users especially), and surely that is a fascinating sign of the times if ever there was one.
Imagine being the diehard Zune fan who felt his best option for a replacement was going all in with Windows Phone.
It could be worst, they could be rocking the Dell Ditty.
(Yeah, someone in 2015 thought this could be answer to the iPod: https://www.cnet.com/products/dell-dj-ditty-512mb/review/ )
> The thing is, with your phone, if you download an app like Spotify, they're asking for access to data on your phone, it's connected to the internet, and they track your location, which they sell to third-party vendors. But the Zune isn't connected to the internet at all, and what I like about the Zune is the privacy element.
Having just checked, Spotify has no location permissions on iOS.
