With the launch of macOS Catalina, Apple removed any trace of iTunes, that all-in-one application that had become a headache for all users who were forced to use it due to the large number of functions included although in previous years a few functions had been removed to add new ones.
However, on Windows, users still have the iTunes application, an application that integrates all Apple services, including the application to enjoy the streaming music service of the Cupertino guys. But that could change this year if the latest rumor published by an Italian website comes true.
According to the Aggiornamenti Lumia website, Apple plans to launch a new application for Windows, an application that will be available directly through the Microsoft Store, where we can currently find the iTunes application. This publication does not detail what application it is about but it is not difficult to imagine what applications it can be about: Apple Music and Apple TV +.
Last year, Apple posted a job posting seeking engineers to build the next generation of multimedia applications for Windows, a job offer where one of the fundamental requirements was to have experience in the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), in order to create a compatible application for both Windows 10 and the rest of Windows ecosystems, which in this case would be Microsoft's Xbox.
In this way, Apple wants easy access to Apple Music and Apple TV + to users who use the Microsoft console as a multimedia center in their homes. iTunes arrived at the Microsoft Store in 2018, an application with which we can enjoy Apple Music, our favorite podcasts, read books ... functions that since the launch of macOS Catalina, have become completely independent.
