Music promotion is under threat from looming TikTok ban

On March 13, 2024, the House of Representatives voted to approve a bill that would force the short-form video app to be sold off from its Chinese parent company to non-Chinese owners or face a ban in the U.S. The Senate will still have to vote on the legislation, which received broad bipartisan support due to beliefs that TikTok creates risks to national security.Meanwhile, Universal Music Group, one of the biggest record labels in the world, stopped licensing its music to TikTok at the end of January 2024.

iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Plus to Sport OLED Screens With 120Hz Refresh Rate, Always-on Support

Apple's iPhone 17 series will reportedly be equipped with upgraded OLED screens that support a higher refresh rate, according to a report. In recent years, Apple's 'Pro' models have featured OLED screens with low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) technology that allow the refresh rate to drop to 1Hz, allowing the company's premium handsets to display a nearly static always-on display mode. With the rumoured inclusion of the upgraded screens, the company's standard models in the iPhone 17 series of smartphones could…

2025’s iPhone 17 models could sport always-on displays and 120Hz ProMotion variable refresh rates just like the Pro models

Ever since the launch of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple has differentiated its best iPhone displays from the non-Pro models in a couple of key ways.

But a new report suggests that changes are afoot — although they won't come in time for this year's iPhone 16…

Groover bridges the promotion gap for independent artists

Last Monday, I discovered Walter the Producer, a Boston-based indie musician. His music isn’t on any of the playlists I follow, and he has less than 150,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. If I hadn’t searched for his song on Shazam while I was 2,000 miles away from home in a brewery in Phoenix, I probably wouldn’t have ever found him. Finding new music has become somewhat of a game. Walter the Producer even pokes fun at this, too; his Spotify artist bio just says, “If you gatekeep me i will hunt you down.”…
