Beats deal may not come until next week

Re/code is reporting Apple’s acquisition of Beats Electronics may not be finalized until next week. Original rumors pegged the deal to close this week at the earliest, although there’s been no word from either company on the issue. “Apple’s planned deal to buy Beats Electronics for $3.2 billion may not be finalized until next week, according to people familiar with the transaction. That’s a longer timetable than some people expected as recently as a few days ago,” reports Peter Kafka.
