Everyone is expecting that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) will unveil its brand new Apple TV with some major modifications during its WorldWide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June. But some recent reports suggest that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) might also launch its Beats-based music streaming service, ‘Apple Music’ during this event in June.
