CNet reports that Napster has passed the 5 million song sales mark since its relaunch in late October.
Napster is considered the #2 music service according to Mercury News and was previously noted to have only 1/4 of the sales as iTunes.

Apple has yet to reveal when the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra will be announced and released, but the dates usually follow a familiar pattern.
As usual, the event is expected to take place in the first half of September.
