Apple Music is coming today , and Apple Music Senior Director and former
beats CEO Ian Rogers wants you to be ready, so he has revealed the specifics of when it’ll star rolling out.
The official launch time for Apple Music is June 30 at 8 AM PT( 8;30 PM in
India ), per a Rogers’ blog post and Facebook event, at which time iOS 8.4 will
be made available for users to update their devices.
iOS 8.4 is required for Apple Music, which shouldn’t have too much
impact on adoption; Apple enjoys likely the steepest upgrade curve anywhere for
OS upgrades, and it’s unlikely that 8.4 will run into any issues like the size
constraints that prevented some from updating immediately to iOS 8 when that
major new version launched.
While Rogers seems to be confident about the specific timing of the
launch, the traditional history of iOS updates is that the debut window for the
software can encounter issues that delay availability of the software, due to
things like a whole bunch of people all attempting to access the update from
Apple’s servers at the same time.
Lately, mass update roll-out has gone more smoothly than in previous
years, probably due to investment Apple has made in its cloud capabilities and
infrastructure through data center expansion. Remember this is a streaming
service enabled by an update made available OTA, though, so plan for some
delays just in case.
Apple Music is
launching with a three-month free trial (the subject of some controversy
recently) and it’s also getting a streaming radio service called
Beats 1, which features artists hosting programming sections as well as a team
of full-time DJs headed by ex-BBC host Zane Lowe.
