iTunes Radio is one of the staple features in iOS 7. The Pandora-like music streaming service is integrated directly into the stock Music app. Apple’s Eddy Cue demoed it for the first time yesterday, and iOS 7 beta testers can try it out now.
When iTunes Radio launches publicly alongside iOS 7 later this fall, it will not be available outside of the U.S., notes Bloomberg. This likely has to do with the fact that Apple has to setup licensing agreements with record labels in each country ahead of time.
During WWDC yesterday, Cue did mention that other countries will be added “over time,” but an international rollout schedule has not been given.
Some international developers testing the iOS 7 beta have access to iTunes Radio right now (our own Killian Bell has access in Britain), but that’s likely due to the fact that the software is not yet ready for the public.
