According to the sources Timothy D. Cook, Apple’s chief executive, repeatedly highlighted the talent that Dr. Dre and Mr. Iovine would bring to Apple. He also appreciated the Beats music service, which creates playlists for subscribers.
Apple likes the business Beats has put together and wants to make new products using the company’s talent. Apple and Beats executives said the companies would work together to give consumers around the world more options to listen to music, but they declined to disclose plans for products it will make with Beats, so it will take time t see that to what extent the deal is going to be beneficial for both the companies.
However, Apple said iTunes, which sells individual songs and albums and offer a streaming radio service, would be offered along with the Beats music service.
