Apple’s new streaming music service was supposed to be unveiled with the launch of iOS 8.4. The New York Times previously said that Apple would be introducing the new service on June 8th. Not coincidentally, that is the first date of this year’s WWDC developer conference in San Francisco.
But a publication more focused on the music industry, Billboard, says that Apple might not have enough deals in place with talent and labels by the expected June introduction. Without having a number of well known singers and songs to sell the public on when the music streaming service launches, Apple is mulling over the possibility of launching the service after June. One of the sources cited by Billboard says “June won’t be the release date. The deals aren’t done.”
