The incremental software update, which is only 56.5MB in size, is mainly intended to squish some of the bugs found on Apple’s new music streaming service and Beats 1. It boasts a catalog of over 30 million songs, a live radio station called Beats 1 which broadcasts live 24 hours a day to over 100 countries, and Connect where artists can share lyrics, backstage photos, videos or even release their latest song directly to fans directly from their iPhone. Beats Audio, makers of premium headphones (premium prices too), might soon be a part of your iPhone, iPod, and iPad. Rumor has it that Apple is considering to buy Beats Electronics, makers of the popular Beats Audio products, for $3.2 billion.

This is not the first time that Beats Audio was incorporated with mobile devices.
