Apple are rumoured to be announcing today (November 16) that The Beatles’ music is going to be available on iTunes.

An announcement from the company is expected at 3pm (GMT) today, with a teaser statement at Apple.com making reference to the band.

“Tomorrow is just another day. That you’ll never forget,” the statement reads. The homepage shows four clocks with the hands pointing to different times, recalling The Beatles’ cover for their 1965 album ‘Help!’.

If the insider rumours, reported by the Wall Street Journal, are true, it will end a three decade-long dispute between Apple Inc and Apple Corps, which owns the rights to The Beatles music. The two companies have had disputes over the brand name and logo use.

The rumours for the latest announcement come despite Yoko Ono claiming in August that Beatles fans shouldn’t expect to see the band’s music on the service any time soon.

In May, Paul McCartney suggested that The Beatles’ record label EMI is to blame for the delay in their music being made available on iTunes.
