Beats Electronics will fall under the purview of senior vice-president of worldwide marketing, Phil Schiller, and Beats Music under senior vice-president of services, Eddy Cue. Iovine and Dre will both work for Apple, spending as much time in Cupertino as necessary. Their titles at Apple will be "Jimmy and Dre".
