Apple WWDC 2014 Rumors; Dr.dre, Jimmy Levine To Be Apple Executives Amid Beats Buyout
Apple WWDC2014 Rumors are skyrocketing as the start date June 2 arrives.
One of the prominent Apple WWDC2014 rumors is about Dr. Dre and his partner Jimmy Levine joining the team at Apple Inc. following a buyout of music firm, Beats.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is rumored to offer Beat co-founders Jimmy Lovine and Dr. Dre executive positions should the iPhone maker takeover the music company. Reports say that the Beats buy is in the making.
However, there was no defined criteria over the roles. Nonetheless, CEO of Apple, Tim Cooke may be seeking raw talent to enhance creativity. Levine mentioned that he was close to Steve Jobs, but was not part of the management.

The $3.2 deal will supposedly benefit Apples streaming music segment. With the iPhone coming to a full cycle and the wearable device prototype iWatch about to launch this year, it could be that folks at Cupertino are looking ahead to capture the next business in Apple's repertoire.
Should Apple seal the deal, it would be the biggest such buy for the iPhone maker. At any rate, the heavy investment in music hardware and streaming service from Beats gives investors an idea about where the company is headed and its plans for the future.
Apple's entry into the feature phone market was not a success with rivals like Nokia and low end Chinese clones monopolizing the scene. Although the iPhone has caught on among consumers as a symbol of quality, and status, the iPad has still to impress tablet users, who may see Samsung's Galaxy tab as a more handy and less expensive way of going tab.
The news of Beats Electronics merging with Apple Inc. created a wave of Tweets about the unfathomable reason for such a move on Apple's part and the following are sample tweets that express twetterdom's reaction to the potential takeover:
