But also I wonder if there isn't a good reason wh y they don't do it. Maybe linked to several people using different devices logged in the same account.
When my daughter uses a phone logged in my account while I’m using my iPad, whoever presses play last choose what I hear in my AirPods…

@fabienmarry @caseyliss Spotify can do hand-off, and that's one of the key missing features for Apple Music, imho.

The problem here isn’t innovation, though:
1. it wouldn’t be innovation if Apple copied it, because Spotify already did it
2. Apple *can’t* do it because Spotify patented it 🤨

To be clear: I would *love* the feature to be on Apple Music, but I don't miss it enough to go back to Spotify

@fabienmarry @caseyliss I think their actual reason is Apple thinks of these things as device-first, not service-first
