Apple releases new Windows applications and abandons iTunes on PCs.
This week marks the official release of Apple’s Windows applications for Apple TV, Apple Music, and Apple Devices. After collaborating with Microsoft to publish the applications, Apple has now removed the preview tag from the apps that were first released in preview form last year.
According to MacRumors, the three apps are intended to wean Windows users off of iTunes, along with a redesigned iCloud for Windows client. iTunes is only necessary if you use Apple TV, Apple Music, and Apple Devices in order to access podcasts and audiobooks on Windows.
You may purchase songs and albums using the Apple Music app in addition to having access to the iTunes catalogue. In addition to streaming media that is available with a subscription, Apple TV allows Windows users to view movies and TV series from their iTunes collection. With Apple Devices, PC users may sync material to and back up or restore their iPhones and iPads.
Microsoft and Apple have been collaborating on the applications, and this week marks their introduction. Before this, Microsoft released iCloud Photos integration for Windows, which allowed users to integrate an iCloud Photos library directly into Windows 11’s built-in Photos program.
There are no indications that ARM64 versions of Apple’s new Windows applications will be released for Qualcomm-powered Windows computers; they are only compatible with conventional x86-based PCs running Windows 10 or Windows 11.
