That's not correct.
iTunes Match, which the author mentions, is responsible for exactly 1 of the features listed:
> Uploading your music to the cloud and streaming them as any other song
Everything else is part of Apple Music, the streaming service: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Music https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Music
- kall 5y agoSince all the apps are just called "Music" anyway (remember the iPod app?) I think it's a difficult distinction to make. It's the Music app by Apple, which has an optional subscription that is also called "Apple Music" verbatim. Match is just hidden legacy, because the standard subscription includes it's features anyway.
- cassianoleal 5y agoApps != Services. The Music app is the main front end of Apple Music and iTunes Match, but you absolutely do not require a subscription to them in order to benefit from the app, and vice-versa. Edit: I think I understand your point better now. I've just learned that Match is not necessary if you already subscribe to Apple Music. I still wouldn't call it legacy though, since you might just want to sync music you own between devices and don't need the rest of the service. In this case, Match is a lot cheaper than Music.
