If you're hoping that Apple will launch its retooled music streaming service alongsidea smartwatch (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/01/apple-watch-power-reserve/) next week, you'll have to wait a bit longer. 9to5Mac reports (http://9to5mac.com/2015/03/05/apple-plans-relaunched-beats-streaming-music-service-for-wwdc-skipping-march-event/) that Monday's "Spring Forward" event (http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/26/apple-watch-event/) won't include details on the next phase of iTunes/Beats Music. Instead, the audio subscription option will launch at WWDC in June as part of an iOS update that annually rolls out soon after. Reportedly priced around $8 per month, the music service is said include features like curated playlists and content tailored to users' personal tastes (http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/29/beats-music-update/) -- both of which are key pieces of Beats Music. As you might expect, an app for the new service will make its way to Apple TV (http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/17/apple-tv-gets-beats-music/), and the same report claims a redesigned (read: slimmer) case and more capable remote control are on the way for Cupertino's set-top box. However, with the rumored13-inch iPad (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/04/12.9-ipad-rumor/) and Retina MacBook Air (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/05/wsj-talks-up-retina-display-macbook-air/) that we may see this year, it'll be interesting to see how Apple plans to reveal a highly-anticipated update to its living room tech.
