Microsoft in October 2022 announced that Apple Music and Apple TV would be available in Microsoft Store. Now, the preview versions of these apps have appeared on the Microsoft Store. There is also a preview of a new app called Apple Devices that lets users manage and sync iPhone, iPad, or iPod with a Windows PC.
The preview versions of Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Devices are available to download via the Microsoft Store in select countries and require Windows 11 version 22H2 (build 22621.0 or above). For now, these apps are not compatible with Windows on Arm devices. There is no word if these apps will be available for Windows 10 users.
Apple has also mentioned that after installing these apps, iTunes will no longer open, and audiobooks or podcasts on the device will be inaccessible until a compatible version of iTunes is available. However, users can revert to iTunes by uninstalling the preview versions of these apps.
These apps will replace the iTunes app on Windows in the future. For the unaware, Apple replaced iTunes on macOS with various apps, including Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Podcasts, and Apple Books. The company is expected to roll out the stable versions of Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Devices apps for Windows 11 users soon.
