Apple is working on an iOS 8.4 firmware update that is codenamed 'Copper' (a Colorado ski resort) and includes a new Beats-based streaming music service, according to 9to5Mac.

The iOS 8.4 upgrade is well into development and is codenamed Copper, a popular ski resort in Colorado. Sources say that the iOS 8.4 update will be released after the Apple Watch becomes available, so users should not expect this update in the immediate future. Sources also say that Apple is currently considering using iOS 8.4 as the iOS update that includes the upcoming Beats-based streaming music service…

Apple has been busy working on iOS. Developers today were seeded with iOS 8.3 beta while iOS 8.2 is still in beta. In addition, we also heard today that iOS 9, apparently codenamed Monarch (another Colorado ski resort), is set to bring a 'huge' focus on stability and performance optimization.

The report aligns with previous ones that suggested Apple's new music service could launch at WWDC. Of course, plans could change and Apple could decide to delay iOS 8.4's features until the release of iOS 9 which would also be unveiled at WWDC but not be available to the general public until later this fall.
