iPhone maker Apple is reportedly in discussions with music companies about a radical move that would allow iPhone users to get free access to its entire iTunes music library as a bundle to their monthly subscription.

The plan of Apple came after several researches showed that owners of mobile phone and other audio devices are willing to pay a premium of up to $100 in exchange of unlimited access to music for the lifetime of the device.
