iOS 8.4 release slated for Tuesday, Apple Music coming with it

Apple Music

Apple Music is launching tomorrow, but you'll need to download iOS 8.4 first.

While the iOS 8.4 update will give us a few bug fixes and some smaller features, the biggest overhaul will occur in the Music app to make way for Apple Music.

Apple Music for Match

We also received news for iTunes Match subscribers, who are currently paying $25 per year for the service.

Apple Senior Vice President Eddy Cue explained to users on Twitter that iTunes Match features will be integrated into Apple Music, so you won't need to subscribe to both.

He tweeted that at launch, users will be able to upload up to 25,000 of their own songs to Apple's cloud storage system (which is the same at iTunes Match right now), they are currently "working to get to 100k [songs] for iOS 9."

It isn't clear yet how iTunes Match subscribers will be transitioned over, or if the separate service will remain (for those who would rather pay $25 for the year for iTunes Match alone, rather than $10 a month).
