Rumors of Apple launching an all-you-can-stream music service are nothing new. Ever since the company acquired Beats Music in May 2014, speculation has been rife that it could use some of the underlying technology for a new service under its own brand. Now, a couple of fresh reports have the Cupertino-based company finally launching that rumored Beats Music-based streaming service at WWDC in June.

First up is a report from 9to5Mac, which cites unnamed industry sources "briefed on the launch timeline" as claiming that Apple plans to launch at least a beta version of the service during its annual developer's conference. Per the site, the on-demand music offering will cost $7.99 a month. While significantly higher than the $5 figure Apple was previously rumored to be aiming for , it compares favorably to the $10-per-month fee being charged by companies like Spotify, Rdio and Apple's own Beats Music. Google launched its Play Music All Access service at $7.99 per month for early adopters, but charges new subscribers $9.99 per month.
