Apart from Drake, Apple is also discussing a similar contract with Pharrell and Guetta, both star musicians in their respective categories. This report also points out that Pharrell and Guetta were amongst the first celebrities spotted wearing the Apple smartwatch; however, this does not provide any sort of confirmation about their association to Apple or the iTunes Radio project. Even Drake had been spotted wearing the smartwatch, during one of his public appearances.

Giving details on Apple's strategy with the iTunes radio service, the report said that they planned to provide an initial free subscription or trial for a period of three months. In order to avoid making losses, Apple is also in talks with music companies seeking a waiver of the fees for the initial trial phase and even provide free lyrics.

Another report on Uber Gizmo tells us that the new version will be called Apple Music. The brand is hopefully capitalizing on the popularity and fan following that these three musicians enjoy. It is expected that the new version will be unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference 2015 that kicks off on June 8 in San Francisco, Ca, which is expected to happen during the company's keynote address.
