On macOS 10.15 or later, open Finder and click your iPhone, which is listed under Locations in the sidebar. On a PC or older macOS installation, open iTunes and click the tiny iPhone icon in the toolbar. There are plenty of users who have both an Apple and a Windows device, so with this in mind, perhaps it's time at WWDC for the company to recognize this, and put iTunes to bed. To do so, first, plug your device into your PC or Mac using a USB cable. ITunes has had its day - it's a relic of an era where we used PCs and laptops to manage our music for our iPods, and for a time, apps for our iPhones. You can use iTunes for Windows to back up and update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and to sync content from your computer to your device. Perhaps this is where the Apple TV app, found on televisions, could come over to Windows 11 to alleviate this, while podcasts could be their own app for both Android and Windows devices. Yet iTunes still offers podcasts and videos that can be bought within the app in Windows, which complicates things.

Translating this to Windows would be a challenge, but as Apple Music is available on Android, there may be potential to make it available to Windows 11 users as an app as well, saving the company from having to support two music apps on two different platforms.Īs Android apps are available as a preview for users in the Microsoft Store, this could make sense for Apple and Apple Music users who don't have a Mac, especially as it's also arrived on Roku devices.
