Apple to acquire Beats for $3.2 billion and perhaps a confirmation

According to a new report from The Financial Times, Apple is in talk with Beats Electronics to allegedly purchase it for $3.2 billion, making the possible deal quite high profile.

Apple will apparently grab both Beats’s audio hardware business, and relatively new streaming-music service Beatsmusic.

One of the biggest reasons of this deal is Apple’s interest to regain their music platform, as it tries to upgrade marketing and products to keep customers. Also, a streaming music service would likely turn into a powerful asset for Apple’s iTunes.

Dr. Dre appears to confirm Apple's acquisition of Beats in a video posted on the Actor Tyrese Gibson's Facebook page.

Tyrese captioned the video with: "How did I end up in the studio with Dr Dre ON THE night his deal went public that he did with Apple 3.2 BILLION!!!!! The BEATS HEADPHONES JUST CHANGED HIP HOP!!!!!!"

unfortunately The post has since been removed from Facebook and we've yet to receive official confirmation of a deal from Apple or Beats.
