Apple is separating the new smartphones into its usual low-cost versus high-cost categories, with big differences between the two models coming down to the camera, display, and battery life.

Apple's Former Beats Music Service Officially Ending on November 30
Apple's former Beats Music streaming service will be officially shuttered on November 30, 2015, according to a new support document posted today on the Beats Music support site. All existing Beats Music subscriptions will be canceled at that time, with any remaining customers being encouraged to switch over to Apple Music.
Beats Music subscribers on iOS were largely transitioned to Apple Music when the Apple Music service first launched, and with the launch of the Apple Music app for Android devices, Android users can also transition to a fully functional Apple Music app.
The final closure of Beats Music comes as no surprise now that it's been folded into Apple Music. The Beats Music service has not accepted new subscribers since Apple Music launched in June.
(Thanks, Lou!)

Purchasing Beats was clearly di-worsification. Companies who sit on too much cash tend to do it.
Beats: An over-priced, image driven brand who sells a physically appealing product with underperforming specs. Sounds a lot like Apple these days.

Everything related to Apple Music is a big mess.
Agreed. They should shutter Apple Music while they're at it. Total disaster.

I'M hesitant & FEEL LIKE Apple hasn't done enough WITH Apple Music TO justify discontinuing this service.

that said, i own a pair of beats (studio) and anybody saying "those are crappy sounding headphones" is either-- lying, never listened through them, or trolling.

I've always been a strong supporter of Apple products and REALLY wanted to like Apple Music but I think everyone can agree that it is just NOT a polished product. There hasn't even been a much needed update in months... Using it with your own music results in a mess (bad album artwork, some songs not syncing, clean versions being matched). Just a big 'ol mess!
Yep. We really wanted to like it to. Got ourselves a family membership, and started to enjoy access to all that music… BUT soon my kids started losing access to music they'd purchased/downloaded… Some songs would stutter along, stopping and starting constantly as Apple's servers seemingly couldn't keep up. Apple should have had this one in the bag with so many iTunes customers and 3 months to prove the service's worth, but they blew it again. So hard to understand why the richest tech company in the world just can't get it right when it comes to online services.
