Apple has shown off Apple Music at WWDC 2015 with a 30 June release date. Here's what you need to know prior to launch.
Apple recently unveiled Apple Music at WWDC 2015, and its 30 June release date is finally almost upon us. After acquiring Beats last year, the company has created a new music service that rivals the likes of Spotify, and uses some of the technology and expertise of Beats. Apple even had Beats boss Jimmy Iovine show off the service at the keynote. Here's what you need to know about Apple Music, including its features, price and even what time to download the update in the UK on 30 June.
"Apple Music is a revolutionary streaming music service, a pioneering worldwide live radio station from Apple broadcasting 24 hours a day and a great new way for music fans to connect with their favourite artists," says Apple.
"Apple Music is really going to move the needle for fans and artists," said Iovine in Apple's press release. "Online music has become a complicated mess of apps, services and websites. Apple music brings the best features together for an experience every music lover will appreciate."
Apple Music price: How much will Apple Music cost in the UK?
The official pricing for Apple Music has been announced ahead of its launch. There will be no ad-fuelled free-tier option unlike Spotify, but Apple will instead provide a three month free trial, after which you’ll have to pay £9.99 a month to use the streaming service.
There's also an interesting Apple Music family plan, which is £15 per month and lets 6 family members have their own Apple Music account. The only downside is that it can only be used with an iTunes Family Sharing account, which some users shy away from due to "accidental" purchases by other family members.
