Rumor: Jimmy Iovine leaving Apple

Jimmy Iovine may depart his post as head of Apple’s music streaming service in August of this year, according to a report from Billboard today. The timing coincides with Iovine’s Apple shares fully vesting, the report says, following Iovine and Dr. Dre’s sale of headphone maker Beats to Apple in 2014 for $3 billion. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Under Iovine, Apple Music has grown to 30 million paid users, putting its popularity at a little under half of Spotify’s 70 million monthly paid subscribers, a milestone the Swedish-based music streaming service announced earlier today. Still, that Apple was able to build its streaming service to that size in such a short period of time, effectively keeping pace with Spotify’s growth, is nonetheless impressive. The success has earned Iovine the respect among technologists that he’s long enjoyed as a music industry executive.

i don't really care about Troy, Boomkack, Nicola - but I'd love for Gaga and Iovine to work together again. He really understands the music business and more importantly, loves music.

Iovine is one clever ass madafacker!!! He is just so visionary and skilled. He just knows his ****. Therefore him leaving Apple is definitely not a good thing, time to buy some Apple stock and wait for it’s rebound!
