“It appears Apple is planning to give on-the-go Apple Music users the option to stream tunes at high bitrates when iOS 9 debuts later this year, as the latest beta released Wednesday includes a toggle switch for high quality audio streaming over cellular networks,” Mikey Campbell reports for AppleInsider.

No need to be a smart ass, it’s obviously available to everyone, I just don’t like the new app as much as the old app.
No such thing as grandfathered in unlimited data I paid AT&T close to $7000 since my first iPhone and was throttled back to a half of magabite after using 5 gigs of an unlimited data plan. Then you call and they blame it on the government but yet I could buy the extra data but yet the government made them do it so glade T-Mobil came along to shakeup the industry
