I really enjoyed his shows on Radio 1. The following article gives a little more information, mentioning rumours about Apple's plans to start a music streaming service in competition to Spotify...

Great great (old school) DJ, single-handedly can break an artist and has an impeccable taste in music. Really interesting to see what he's going to do at Apple, I assume it's iTunes Radio/rebooted Beats

And uh, WTF is he going to be doing at Apple? He has great taste in music but unless Apple is starting up a radio network how can he have nearly the impact there that he is having right now at Radio 1?

iTunes Radio, maybe? Or Beats Music? There's lots of options...

Curated content for Beats Music & iTunes, most likely. iTunes currently might not have the impact that being discovered by Radio 1 does, but i'm sure it's something they want.

Never saw that coming! Nice.

This could be for a huge play in the music discovery area. It's ripe for disruption and the one missing link in the current music services. Twitter tried and failed with their music service (despite acquiring a pretty competent solution to build it) maybe Apple can succeed there. It'll take something more than simple popularity based charts and someone like Zane might be the answer.
