Apple isn’t just synonymous with iPhone and Mac. The Cupertino-based company has always had a iphone-dependency from which it had to come out at one point or another before mobile sales were not the same as years ago. The solution did not go through Rise the price of their devices every year to compensate, but to launch new services with which to engage users in their ecosystem. Apple TV +, Apple Music, Apple Fitness, iCloud among others are an example. However, it has always focused its services on its ecosystem.
Fortunately, it appears that policy has changed. Leaving aside Apple Fitness (whose market niche is very limited) and iCloud (mainly focused on users of Apple products), both Apple TV + and Apple Music are two Apple services that have not received the love of Apple among users of Apple. Windows.
Windows users, if they wanted to enjoy Apple Music, had to deal with iTunes (an application that has always left a lot to be desired in every way) or use the web version. In the case of Apple TV, we ran into an even bigger problem, since the only way to access its content on a Windows PC has always been through a browser. Fortunately that just changed with the release of the apps Apple TV+ and Apple Music for Windows 11.
Unfortunately, both the Apple TV app and Apple Music, both available only in the Microsoft Store, are only compatible with Windows 11specifically from version 22621 or later, so if we are still on Windows 10, it may be time to upgrade to Windows 11 if we want to stop using iTunes or a web browser to access its content.
Apple TV
With the launch of the Apple TV application for Windows, users of this operating system can finally enjoy all the content available on this platform in the same way that macOS users. The design of the application is exactly the same as the application for iPad, with a section on the left side of it where we have access to both the content available on Apple TV+ and the store where we can buy or rent series and movies. In addition, we also have access to all the content that we have previously purchased through the Library section.
This is a previous version, we could call it beta, hence the Preview tag, so, according to Apple in the description, the operation of the application may not the best of all.
Apple Music
Apple’s music streaming platform, Apple Music, also has its own independent iTunes application to enjoy the entire catalog available on this platform. In the section on the left, we have access to the radio stations available in Apple Music, along with the playlists that we have created and our music library where we can filter the data by artists, albums, songs and the titles that we have recently added. .
Similar to the Apple TV app for Windows, this app is also an early version, so performance may be lacking. In addition, after installing it, we will have no choice but to use it to enjoy Apple’s streaming music platform, since iTunes won’t work after installing it until it is updated in the next few days.
