The post shows two strings found in the beta version of the Apple Music app for Android: one informing the user that a given action requires “premium access,” and an error message, “Can’t skip any more tracks,” after the user reaches a “skip limit.”

So far, there are no details on whether this means Apple is working on a free tier or on tiers with different prices.…
