Apple saved the music business with iTunes. Why do they need Jimmy Iovine's connections? I don't see why they need Jimmy Iovine for anything.

Because he is the music industry, because maybe the now mighty Apple has lot of difficulties securing licensing music rights, especially in the streaming area. Now I don't say it's worth 3.2bn$ (I don't think it's even worth 1bn$) but at least I think there is more value there than with the headsets. Anyway spending so much on such a shallow thing would send a wrong signal in my opinion, for the same amount I would have bought AMD or something more significant hardware related.
