Hi All,
Quick Question. Apple Pay is due to release this week in the UK however I am currently using ios 9 Beta 2.
Will Apple Pay and Apple Music work on iOS 9 Beta 2 or will I need to downgrade to iOS 8.4?
Thanks,
Billy
Apple Pay/Music in UK on iOS 9
According to a tweet from Eddie Cue (who presumably knows whereof he speaks), we need an updated iOS 9 beta. History suggests that won't drop until next week (Tuesday 7 July), but I don't have any inside info on the actual date.

@lokithorrrrr a new iOS 9 seed will support Apple Music
Eddy Cue mentions that Apple Music will be available in the following 9 beta build. As for when that's released, well..
Hey Billy
Where did you hear about Apple Pay launching next week?
I was under the impresson that it will launch with iOS 9.
It even has on the Apple site: Coming Soon.
Apple has said that Pay is coming to the UK in July - no specific date mentioned. There's a summary of current info in the link below.
Launching Pay in the UK doesn't require iOS changes - all the requirements are at the bank/merchant end - so there's no need tor new software (Pay is already live in the US on iOS 8).
Music will, according to fr=urther tweets from Eddie Cue, be in the next iOS 9 beta, next Tuesday.
