Apple is planning to push its Beats streaming music service to every iPhone in the new year, according to a report in the Financial Times newspaper.
Apple will include the Beats app in its latest update to the iOS operating system used on iPhones and iPads, writes the FT.
Apple purchased Beats, known primarily for its headphones, for $3bn (£1.9bn) earlier this year in May.
The company declined to comment on the FT's report.

http://www.macrumors.com/2014/11/19/apple-bundle-beats-music-ios/ Its a paid for subscription service and you don't have to use it, cant see the issue myself :dunno:
It seems the issue is not with the content of the app, but the fact that it will be bundled with iOS automatically and (probably) can't be deleted to free up the space (both memory and icon space on the home screen). You get the same comments around health, newstand, etc.

They probably did so only for the logo and consumer base though.
