It has taken Apple a long time to realize that Windows users with an iPhone or iPad have been left behind by the Cupertino-based company, focusing its efforts solely on macOS. Fortunately, that changed a few months ago when the new versions of the Apple TV + and Apple Music applications were launched, applications that do not stop receiving news.
Before the launch of the Apple TV+ and Apple Music apps for Windows, users of Microsoft’s operating system had to make do with accessing both platforms through a browser or using the iTunes app in the case of Apple Music. These applications, available since last January, arrived with almost the same functions that are available natively in macOS.
At the moment, it seems that Apple has not released both applications for Windows and has forgotten about them as if it seems to have happened with iTunes, an application that is currently only useful for making backup copies, since, as they have been happening Over the years, features have been removed, just like the macOS version, reaching the point of disappear completely of this ecosystem by integrating all the functions natively and through independent applications.
Apple Music
One of the applications with the greatest room for improvement is Apple Music, an application that is in beta phase and allows us to access the entire catalog available on the platform both in normal quality and in high resolution, and modify it on the fly without they just stop playing.
In addition, one of the most useful functions for those who want to know the lyrics of the songs is also available, information that is available through the properties panel of the song being played, however, unlike spotifydoes not highlight the lines that are being played, forcing the user to struggle to find the exact moment of the lyrics being played.
We can download Apple Music directly through the following link. It is necessary to have a subscription to be able to access it, since, unlike Spotify, Apple offers us a free version without ads.
Apple TV
As the name indicates, Apple TV Preview is also an application in beta phase. And a good part of this is the limited number of options that the application offers us to adjust playback quality, options that do not exist and that adjust automatically. Also, although it is not usual, on certain computers it stops working, forcing the user to restart it to continue playing.
However, despite these small inconveniences, using this application is much more comfortable than using any browser to access the platform, since it gives the impression that it is optimized only for Safari and not for the rest of the browsers available on the Chromium-based marketplace. We can download this application through the following link to the Microsoft Store.
