It's funny because usually the title gets changed from informative to generic (like product name), but here instead of "Apple - Music" it becomes almost an ad copy.
The thread title normally changes to reflect the title of the article.
In this case, the window title of the page is "Apple - Music", but the page headline, which can reasonably be considered the title of this "article", is "Free, three-month trial of Apple Music now available."
So it seems to me that this change is perfectly in line with HN's normal policies.

So I'm not crazy! Glad someone else saw it too, but hn isn't a victim of astroturfing.... right?
