Iovine Apologizes
“We created Apple Music to make finding the right music easier for everyone – men and women, young and old,” Iovine said in a statement. “Our new ad focuses on women, which is why I answered the way I did, but of course the same applies equally for men. I could have chosen my words better, and I apologize.”
