Apple announced a major new foray into streaming music as it showed off a host of new software features for its iPhones, iPads and Mac computers.
The 10 US Dollar-a-month music service is called Apple Music and combines on-demand listening, a 24/7 radio station hosted by live DJs and a forum for artists to give fans behind-the-scenes content from upcoming releases.
The service, which was announced during Apple’s annual software conference on Monday, will be launched later this month in more than 100 countries.
The music service was the biggest news of the company’s five-day conference, but Apple also announced a host of new upgrades and services coming later this year to the operating software for its popular iPhones, iPads and Mac computers.
