| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Monday, June 1st, 26. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. We are supported this week by card pointers. |
| 0:12.0 | Leading off today, Apple seems to be working on different subscription tiers to Apple Music, based on text strings found in the beta version of the app for Android. |
| 0:23.2 | Text found in the latest beta version of the Apple Music app for Android show two things, |
| 0:28.7 | one informing the user that the given action requires quote-unquote premium access, |
| 0:34.2 | and another air message saying that the user can't skip any more tracks after they reach a quote-unquote skip limit. |
| 0:42.3 | So far, there aren't any details on whether this means Apple is working on a free tier or at tiers with different prices. |
| 0:50.3 | Limits on features such as track skipping have historically been common on free plans from Apple Music competitors like Spotify. |
| 0:58.0 | In fact, Spotify promotes skipping as many times as you want as one of the perks of its paid subscription plans. |

| 1:29.1 | So the possibilities here are that Apple has changed its mind, or that these references in the |
| 1:34.9 | Apple Music app for Android are referring to something completely different, or that perhaps they |
| 1:40.2 | reflect not a free tier of Apple Music, but a lower cost tier altogether. |
| 1:45.2 | Presumably, we'll find out one way or another very soon from Apple itself. |
| 1:50.2 | Next up today, Bloomberg reports that Apple is gearing up to finally launch new versions of the Apple TV 4K |
| 1:56.1 | and HomePod Mini later this year. |
| 1:59.1 | If you've been following the rumors consistently, you likely know that |
| 2:02.4 | a next generation version of these products has been on the cusp of release for quite some time. |
| 2:08.2 | The reason for these delays, however, is that Apple has been waiting to tie these new hardware releases |
