Leaked watchOS 4.1 Notes Confirm Streaming Music Feature

Apple is working on a new software update for its Watch Series devices and thanks to leaked golden master release notes, we have more information on what to expect from it. The update will bring a few new features, and the most interesting is the streaming music feature.
