Now google does not allow you to use Google music app if you don't have subscription.

What I wonder is if Apple will not allow you to use Apple Music app (they call this now) if you don't have AM subscription in the future?

Probably at least a decade out (if ever) since Apple will sell you music on iTunes today and likely will for years to come.

The iTunes Music Store is too important for them to eliminate its usage. Everyone makes more money if you buy all your tracks.

That being said, I'm SHOCKED it's not called the Apple Music Store. Seems like a great way to separate itself from the train wreck that is iTunes.

I am able to use the iOS Google Play Music app without a subscription. What do you mean?

I mean this:

And google music constantly ask me for a paid sub to even see google play music app interface. I forget a screenshot but I remember that.
Perhaps after a few months, things are changed.
