Apple Music will offer high bitrate streaming in the next iOS 9 update

Apple is to include high-quality streaming options in the upcoming iOS 9 update.

A new software download is to be released on Apple devices in autumn, with Apple Music offering a higher quality option to streaming that betters the current 256 kbps AAC (the current quality of an iTunes purchase).

Presently, the quality of music relies on a Wi-Fi connection and diminishes when users use a device across cellular networks. Appleinsider.com state that the forthcoming update offers a toggle switch for “high quality on Cellular” though the exact bitrate remains unknown. Basically, this is good news for audiophiles.
