IERI (Yesterday) Dr. Dre confirmed the purchase Beats by company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), for the amount of 3.2 billion dollars, and as part of this transaction he and Jimmy iovine, co-founder of Beats, will become senior managers within Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. The two will not be employed full-time within the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, but they are going to be present only for important meetings, and in the case of Iovine, Apple would have also imposed leaving the position of president of the board of directors of the record company Interscope.
But as Apple completes a deal to buy headphone and streaming-service company Beats Electronics LLC from Mr. Iovine and his co-founder, rap star Dr. Dre, both men are likely to take senior positions with the Cupertino, Calif., tech company , according to people familiar with the matter, commuting from the Los Angeles area to Silicon Valley—or meetings elsewhere—as needed.
Although during the course of yesterday it was said that that was it Dr. Dre, and also Jimmy iovine, will become special advisors for Tim Cook, so in the end, the two could be part of Apple's administrative team, having a much more important role. No matter how the situation will be, it is clear that both co-founders of Beats will have an important role within the Apple company following this acquisition, it remains to be seen how they will contribute to the development of future Apple products.
