    Yeah this sounds like a disaster. Whoever is leaking this is doing so for a reason.

    As Apple executives are busying looking to do business in Hollywood, entertainment industry insiders are scratching their heads over who, exactly, is driving the effort.

    “Robert Kondrk, Eddy Cue, Jimmy Iovine, everyone is trying to be the person,” one insider told The Post. “They each want to be the guy, and they’re telling people, don’t deal with the other one.”


    Yeah except that doesn't sound believable at all -- Apple knows how to build a vision and pursue it singularly. 

    Oh, and BI. 
    BI got it from the NY Post. Somebody leaked to them. Bloomberg also reported that Apple execs would be in the middle of an Apple Music deal and then find out that Jimmy Iovine was doing his own negotiating that nobody knew about.

    As far as the vision thing, what exactly is the vision of Apple Watch? It clearly has changed since the watch first launched. Out are the high end watches and pop up shops at expensive retailers. The focus now is almost 100% fitness related. That's not a singular vision.

    Nope. 

    Before the watch was launched, Apple was buying up medical device expertise left right and centre. The focus of the device has always been health. You're mistaking a long term vision for a short term marketing strategy.
