Apple continues to work on classical music app


Tech giant Apple is reportedly working on a standalone classical music application, according to hidden code found in iOS 16.3, which it planned to release last year.

The hidden code change was discovered by Twitter account @iSWUpdate, reports MacRumors.

The iOS 16.3 software update is in the final stage of beta testing and is expected to be released to the public next week.

However, it is still unclear if or when the standalone application will launch.

According to the code, the tech giant has changed a line of text that will appear in the iPhone‘s standard Music application from “A Shortcut to Apple Classical” to “Open in Apple Music Classical“, which indicates that the iPhone maker might have changed the name of the application.

Another line of code mentioned, “Explore this artist in the app designed for classical music.”

In August 2021, the company announced that it had acquired the classical music service Primephonic and planned to release a dedicated classical music app in 2022.

However, the application has not been launched yet and the tech giant has remained silent on the plans.

The company had promised that it would incorporate the best features of Primephonic, including “better browsing and search capabilities by composer and by repertoire” and “detailed displays of classical music metadata.”

Primephonic had shut down in September 2021 and its subscribers received a free six-month Apple Music subscription, the report said.

Ramsay Hunt Syndrome: Disorder affecting Justin Bieber

​Rare neurological disorder

What is Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) which has forced singer Justin Bieber to cancel his world tour? RHS is a rare neurological disorder that can inflame and then paralyse the facial nerve and cause a painful rash around the ear or mouth.

​Paralysed on one side of face

RHS is named after the neurologist who discovered it in 1907. Symptoms vary from person to person but can cause severe discomfort or pain. Most sufferers become paralysed on one side of the face and develop a characteristic ear rash.

​Affects smile, slurs speech

The affected facial muscles may become weak or stiff, preventing the patient from smiling, frowning or shutting the eye on that side of the face. Speech may become slurred in some cases. Blisters can spread to the mouth area. Hearing loss or ringing in the ear could be other symptoms.

​Virus which causes chickenpox

The virus which causes RHS is the varicella zoster, which also causes chickenpox in children and shingles in adults. A person who has had chickenpox as a child can carry the virus in a dormant form for decades. When the virus gets reactivated – for unknown reasons – the person develops shingles, and in some cases RHS.

​How it’s treated

RHS is generally treated with antiviral drugs such as acyclovir and famciclovir. Corticosteroids like prednisone are also provided. Physiotherapy, if started on time, enables a full recovery. But about a third affected experience after-effects.

These Songs Made It

It makes the Latin artist the first to be on the top. Justin Bieber’s and The Kid Laroi’s “Stay: was Apple music’s top song for that time. Spotify, Apple Music, Billboard, and other music giants said Cardi B’s “Up,” BTS’ “Dynamite,” Olivia Rodrigo’s “driver’s license,” and Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” were the top songs. We expect “As it Was” by Harry Styles to dominate 2022’s charts as it has already spent more time on top than any other song.
