Launching Apple TV on the Xbox two years ago and Apple Music on PS5 last year, Xbox and Windows users have been holding out for the possibility of an official Apple Music experience. While this gave Mac users a dedicated Apple Music app, Windows users have been stuck with the clunky iTunes app. After installing the iCloud for Windows app from the Microsoft Store and choosing to sync iCloud, iPhone users with Windows devices will be able to see their iPhone photos and videos within Photos.Image Credit: Apple At their 2022 Surface event, Microsoft announced new Apple Music, Apple TV and iCloud Photos integrations on Windows 11 and Xbox.Īfter years of iTunes becoming more and more bloated over the years, Apple finally split the music app into multiple applications on macOS Catalina, back in 2019. In October, Microsoft announced that was integrating Apple’s iCloud storage service with the Photos app in Windows 11. Users will have to uninstall the apps to continue using iTunes. Apple notes that installing any of these apps will prevent iTunes for Windows from opening. The app replaces iTunes for sync and backup and also allows users to restore firmware without the need for iTunes.Īll three of the new Apple apps require Windows 11 version 22621.0 or higher. There’s also a preview app called “Apple Devices” that lets users manage Apple devices from their Window PC. The Apple Music app is almost the same as the macOS version but doesn’t have the lyrics feature.
The Apple TV app functions similarly to the app on Smart TVs, giving users access to Apple TV+ and Apple TV Channels, in addition to movies and TV shows from the iTunes Store. The apps look similar to the versions that are available on macOS but are slightly modified for Windows. The launch was first spotted by The Verifier. The roll out comes a few months after Microsoft said the apps would be coming to Windows 11 this year.
Apple is finally bringing its Apple Music and Apple TV apps to Windows, as preview versions of the two apps have quietly appeared on the Microsoft Store.
