Apple News has the ability to listen to articles and news. Instead of reading. A whole section is dedicated to this. How does listening happen? A player appears! I like how the mini-player is integrated. It slightly reduces the view height and appears under the tab bar. Imagine that a music service is primarily a content platform. Why does it need an always-visible mini-player, as it has now? Only because 13 years ago Apple designers drew it that way, or can the player still be the start of a new content listening session 🤔
