Spotify is coming to United's seatback screens
The streaming service's entire library of content will be available in the air.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Spotify arriving on United’s seatback screens, and both say passengers will be able to access Spotify content in the air. The Verge adds several specifics not present in Engadget, including a custom native app, login to personal accounts, streaming of playlists and video podcasts, and Starlink as the connectivity layer. Engadget’s framing is simpler, saying only that Spotify’s entire library will be available onboard.
