Apple Music / iOS 8.4 Go Live Tomorrow Morning

Apple’s much anticipated subscription based music service, Apple Music, will go live tomorrow morning alongside the launch of Beats Radio and an update to iOS 8 to enable support for both of these new products.

Originally revealed at this month’s WWDC Apple Music is cupertino’s Spotify competitor allowing subscribers to access millions of songs for a monthly fee. Priced at $10 for an individual account or $15 a month for a family plan Apple Music appears to offer some serious competition and surely the 90 day free trial will help Apple steal away subscribers from rival services.

Beats 1 is a 24 hour radio station that will stream music 24/7 for Apple Music subscribers from locations like London, New York and Los Angeles.

iOS 8.4 will roll out at 8 AM PST tomorrow with Apple Music and Beats 1 coming online at 9 AM PST.
