Apple slip when activating the iTunes Radio service on some UK mobiles

As we all know, since the launch of iOS 7, all users in the United States have available the service of iTunes Radio, a music streaming service.

At the time, Apple informed the world that initially it was going to be available only in the US, but now we get news that it seems that this weekend some UK users have had the option activated at times.

The web is being inundated with blog comments that some non-US users have been able to view the accessible iTunes Radio service on their devices within the iTunes application. More specifically, these are users from the UK, Australia and Canada.

I personally live in Gran Canaria and yesterday, while using the Music app on my iPhone 5S, I was perplexed that the radio symbol appeared in the lower left. I quickly checked on the web what was happening and if Apple had already activated the service in Spain, but there was no news about this area of ​​the globe. Pressing the radio icon gave me the option to start playing, but with 4G it didn't. When I got home and tried again the icon was gone.

According to the comments that I have been able to read, it seems that the users to whom it has happened in other parts of the planet is because they had either restored the devices or because they were new and had just been activated.

MacRumors has received several reports from users in the UK and Australia who have accessed and been able to listen to iTunes Radio on their iPhones. While some members of the MacRumors forum in the UK have had access to the service, others tell us they have not yet. The same comes from Reddit and Twitter.

I do not know what happened and why I managed to see on my device the symbol of the radio and later screen where it gave me the option to start playing, what is clear is that surely Apple is testing for a possible imminent launch .
