iTunes Radio Release On September 18th

iTunes Radio Release On September 18th

Apple’s Pandora like music streaming service, iTunes Radio, will be released to the public on September 18th, the company announced today at its media event in Cupertino, California. The iTunes Radio service was first unveiled back at the Worldwide Developers Conference 2013 in June, since then it has only been available for developers. iTunes Radio will actually release alongside iOS 7, the latest update for Apple’s mobile operating system, which will be publicly released on September 18th as well.

At its media event today Apple made a couple of announcements, it finally unveiled the release date for iOS 7 as well as the launch date for iTunes Radio. The highlight of the event was the announcement of two new iPhones, the much rumored iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. Most of the rumors about these devices have turned out to be true, so many of the details didn’t come as a surprise. iTunes Radio can be accessed through iOS devices as well as iTunes on Windows and Mac, the free version will be ad-supported. Customers who subscribe to iTunes Match, which costs $24.99 per year, will have an ad-free experience. Even though iTunes Radio has been dubbed as a Pandora-killer by many people, Pandora is non-plussed. It believes that the service only brings Apple at par with other music streaming services.

    Apple WWDC 2013 developer session videos released in full [Updated]

    Apple’s WWDC 2013 developer session videos have turned up on YouTube, giving an insider insight into what’s due in iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks later this year. The footage – nearly 100 videos including covering the changes in AirPrint, how best to make use of iAd, and how OS X push notifications will work – offers non-developers a glimpse of the goodies that registered iOS/OS X developers have had access to for some time.

    wwdc_2013-580x396

    As has been the case for some years now, tickets for WWDC 2013 sold out ridiculously quickly. In fact, it took less than two minutes for all of the spaces to go, despite them costing $1,599 apiece.

    The lure is the opportunity to get early access to Apple’s upcoming platforms for mobile and desktop, as well as the chance to discuss them with the company’s own engineers. Apple holds multiple developer sessions over the course of the five day event.

    What’s unclear is how the videos play into Apple’s WWDC NDA (non-disclosure agreement), which developers are expected to agree to. That’s intended to prevent features Apple hasn’t necessarily publicly talked about from leaking; it’s unclear who has uploaded these videos, and whether it was Apple itself.

    If not, then the channel itself is likely to be shut down in short order. For a top-level view on OS X Mavericks, check out our preview.

    Update: Apple has confirmed that the video uploads are not authorized by them, and that they will be removed shortly.
