I read this Gizmodo post about Apple Music. Granted that I have not used it yet (waiting for iOS 9 beta to have it next week), when you get rid of the Taylor Swift drama and the will-they-or-won't-they-sign of the indie labels, I'm not sure Apple is offering anything other streaming services do not already have.
There is the Beats One "radio station" that Apple has that no one else does for now. It could be the first step to something even better. If Apple Music evolution follows other Apple product improvement, we can see annual improvements up to a point and where it makes sense.
So far, the bar is pretty low given the state of the streaming segment of the music market. There are plenty of players so it is good to see there are competitors that will continue to push Apple foward.
Once I've gotten a chance to play with it, I will looking into what features I love to see that might be missing or improved.
