iTunes Radio will no longer be free; only paid Apple Music subscribers will be able to access it

16 January, 2016
Apple has announced that it will begin charging for its iTunes Radio service from this month's end. Launched back in 2013 alongside the iOS 7 and available only in the US and Australia, the service has been free (ad-supported) all this while.

What!? Apple gave something free to it's customers. I can't believe it. This is miracle until they removed it's free offer. I really can't believe they actually offered it's customers something free.

        Nobody gives a fuck about iTunes Radio. I'm not even going to sign up for their "free" 3 months Apple Music trial. Its just rubbish. This is just too much. Spotify got everything covered at a cheaper price and it can be free too. What Apple is doing now is no different from daylight robbery.

                    hey dumpass, do you think its a worth move, just take it, make it free, else it will go badly like the american economy, take it and further dont make customers bend for you, instead bend down your knees to make customers comfortable, else the big smart OEMs will vaporize apple and its copy cat products[ ipod and tunes is s big copy from from sony walkman]

Then half year later, you need to pay battery charging subscription for $9.99 per month, in order to let your phone alive. lolz

                                    Bleh, I didn't even know there was a free ad supported radio. No big deal, there aren't many cheap iOS users in any case.
