Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Devices Preview join iTunes as well as iCloud. With the release of these preview apps, Apple now has five apps in the Microsoft Store. Apple Music and Apple TV even sport Windows 11 design effects, like rounded corners, see-through glass-like acrylic menus, and sidebars. Compared to iTunes, the app is clean and efficient, with simple tabbed menus and modern icons. The most interesting app is definitely Apple Devices Preview, as it is a lightweight way to manage iPads and iPhones on Windows. We tested all three versions of the apps, and they appear to be working just fine in this preview state. If you want to go back to iTunes for managing any content like device backups, or your music and TV shows, you'll have to uninstall these three apps. Apple even goes as far as to warn that the audiobooks and podcasts you have on your device will also be inaccessible until a compatible version of iTunes is available.
Additionally, if you opt to install Music, TV, or Devices preview, you won't be able to open iTunes anymore. Right on the first boot after installation, Apple notes that the apps are just previews, and not all features may work as expected. You can now finally download preview versions of the Apple Music as well as Apple TV Windows app, as well as a third Apple Devices app on Windows 11.Īll three versions of these apps are currently hidden in the Microsoft Store (you can access with the links below), which is why Apple does perhaps have a fair warning if you opt to install it on your PC.
It's been three months since it was announced that the Apple Music and Apple TV apps would be coming to the Microsoft Store, and the big moment has finally arrived.
