iOS 8.4 Launching at 8 AM Pacific Tuesday, Beats 1 Goes Live at 9 AM [Updated]

Former Beats Music CEO and current Apple Music senior director Ian Rogers made a brief blog post (http://www.fistfulayen.com/blog/2015/06/apple-music-and-beats-1-launch-tuesday-june-30th/) yesterday summarizing some of his background in music leading up to this week's debut of Apple Music while also revealing Apple's launch schedule for iOS 8.4 and the new Beats 1 radio station.

 According to Rogers, iOS 8.4 will go live at 8 AM Pacific this Tuesday, two hours earlier than Apple's usual iOS update release window. Beats 1 will kick off programming an hour later, offering users around the world a 24/7 streaming music station led by former BBC DJ Zane Lowe and featuring a mixture of interviews and music sets from DJs interspersed with programming blocks from celebrities (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/06/25/beats-1-programming-blocks/) such as Elton John, Dr. Dre, Pharrell, and Drake.

Tuesday morning we’ll be unveiling the next chapter. Please make a note to upgrade to iOS 8.4 at 8am PT Tuesday, June 30th and listen to the first Beats 1 broadcast at 9am PT. Here’s a Facebook invite to make it easy for you to say yes, you’ll be there, and invite all your friends. (https://www.facebook.com/events/908082079230165/) See you there.

Aside from Beats 1, which is free to all users signed in with an Apple ID, Apple Music also includes a paid streaming component priced at $9.99 per month for a single user or $14.99 for a family of up to six people. Subscribers will have streaming access to the full Apple Music catalog of over 30 million tracks, with Apple offering a three-month free trial to give users an extended opportunity to test out the new service.
 
 Update: In a series of responses on Twitter, Eddy Cue has confirmed Apple will be releasing a new seed of iOS 9 (https://twitter.com/cue/status/614632453542555648) to enable Apple Music for users on that version, as well as Apple's plans to increase the current 25,000-track limit (https://twitter.com/cue/status/614632890740027392) for iTunes Match (and thus Apple Music's scan/match/upload service) to 100,000 with the launch of iOS 9.
 
 Update 2: Rogers has removed mention of the specific timing for the launch from his blog post, but a Tweet by Rogers yesterday (https://twitter.com/iancr/status/614995126687916032) encouraging a user to upgrade at 8:00 AM ahead of Zane Lowe's kickoff of Beats 1 at 9:00 AM remains.
