The original report said Iovine would leave Apple at the end of August. However, Iovine himself denied this news and claims that he is not going anywhere from Apple.

In a new interview that Iovine gave to the Variaty server, it was said that the information about his departure is false. "I would need Donald Trump here to call this information fake news". Iovine claims that he definitely has no plans to leave Apple, or that he has his hands full with Apple Music and has many plans to do so. According to him, there are still many things that need to be done within this streaming service.

I'm almost 65 years old and I've been working for Apple for four years, two and a half years of that at Apple Music. In that time, the service has gained well over 30 million subscribers, and Beats products are still doing great. Even so, there are many things that still need to be done. At the moment, I am determined to take on whatever is asked of me, whether from Tim Cook, Eddy Cue or Apple as such. I'm still on board and don't plan on changing anything. 

Although Iovine confirms that his contract formally ends in August, it is said to be nothing major. According to him, in practice he has no contract, his work at Apple is rather due to an agreement and an interest in music, Apple and everything around him. Therefore, he was quite disillusioned when the false news of his end appeared in the media. It bothered him that it put him in a position in which it could appear that he is only interested in money, which he resolutely denies.
