Apple recently announced its own Podcast Subscription service but the release will be delayed until June in order for the company to provide an optimal experience to those who use the service to publish their content as well a their audience and consumers alike.
The premium-tier subscription side of the Podcasts has been talked about in the news for quite a while and some reports have suggested that the service would’ve been live considering the fact that the Cupertino-based tech giant made the official announcement back in April.
However, Apple had sent out a number of email messages to its Podcasts creators revealing it will take the service live by June according to a Twitter user with the handle @Jaytorres who made the revelation based on an email he had received from Apple.
Below is the email which he posted on his Twitter account offering a better context to why the service was delayed a bit for at least a month.
