Editing Apple Music (section)

===Launch (2015)===
At WWDC in June 2015, Tim Cook announced Apple Music, doing so as a "one more thing" after iOS 9 and Mac OS X El Capitan.  The service debuted as an updated Music app in the iOS 8.4 update. 

Apple Music launched on June 30, 2015, in over 100 countries, initially priced at $9.99/month for individuals and $14.99/month for families of up to six members, with a 3-month free trial period. 

Upon its launch, Beats Music subscriptions and playlists were migrated to Apple Music, and the Beats Music service was discontinued.  Beats Music formally shut down on November 30, 2015.

Prior to launch, Apple Music attracted controversy when singer-songwriter [[Taylor Swift]] wrote an open letter criticizing Apple's policy of not paying artists during the free trial period. She said the policy was "unfair" as "Apple Music will not be paying writers, producers, or artists for those months."  Apple subsequently reversed the policy and agreed to pay artists during trial periods.
