Last month Amazon launched Amazon Prime monthly in the US, allowing customers to subscribe to the service on a monthly basis, instead of paying a full year of service upfront. No information was provided on offering this subscription tier to other markets that the company operates in.
We have spotted that the monthly tier of Prime is now available in the UK, too. When going to the Prime Subscription page, you are greeted with two options as shown above: monthly or annually. The monthly option comes in at £7.99/month and includes all of the Prime features you’d expect, whereas the annual tier comes to £79/year, equating to £6.58/month.

TwelveSouth make some lovely items and although they may be a bit on the pricey side they certainly look good and last well. To complement their ever expanding range of BookBook covers available for virtually everything that Apple currently makes (with the exception of the iMac and Mac Pro…although I REALLY want to see a BookBook cover for a 27inch iMac) they now produce one for the 12.9inch iPad Pro.
The case features all of their usual stylish trademarks including being manufactured from genuine leather. Also included is a kickstand to place the iPad at an angle for wrist-friendly typing and artistic drawing with an Apple Pencil.

This weeks show we discussed Apple music and Connect now seemingly going the way of “Ping”. Was connect serving a purpose that twitter didnt? The outrage of an icon change is also up for discussion and our views on advertising in podcasts.
I had the opportunity to test out two great little devices from Manfrotto this weekend. The TwistGrip is a small device that allows you to easily attach your phone to a tri-pod or other form of mount. The Second device was the Pixi Tripod.
Both worked exceptionally well together and I had fun shooting some video at a farm pretty local to me.

Did you hear the one about Apple stopping sales of iTunes downloads? The website Digital Music News ran a piece on Wednesday with two end of life timeliness for individual track and album sales. One possibility had that happening within two years, while another had the music sales stopping in the next three to four years, maybe longer.
Usually hitting your wallet for £79 every 12 months, the online retail giant has slashed £20 from its fee, meaning a year’s subscription will now set new customers back just £59 – nice.

UBS analyst Steve Milunovich has reiterated his Buy rating on Apple shares though he has cut his twelve-month price target. Barron’s says that’s dropped from $120 to $115. The issue is iPhones, and that he can’t exactly what’s going to happen with them.
While Apple has its installment plan that lets people upgrade their phones annually, most people buy their phones through carriers, not Apple.

There was another interesting note about Apple out UBS on Wednesday though it didn’t come from the guy who follows Apple for UBS. Investor’s Business Daily had Bruce Wilcox, director of natural language strategy at Kore, a startup developing bots for enterprise platforms, saying Apple really needs to start making bots — because when you’re a hammer…. The piece reminds readers what bots are.

I love my iPad Pro despite Apple recently introducing a little brother at the recent ‘In the Loop’ event. However one thing I wasn’t so thrilled about with the Pro was the cost of some of the accessories. I can understand Apple expecting us to shell out for such items as the Apple Pencil and even for the Smart Keyboard but where I often find Apples charges becoming more than a little harder to swallow is the cost of their cases.
