Apple's new applications will reach Windows

Apple's new applications will reach Windows

It was almost expected that after the abandonment of iTunes, the new applications with which Apple has replaced the old glory would end up appearing on Windows sooner rather than later, and although the news has not been officially confirmed, those who understand the world of The apple is taken for granted.

Namely, the arrival of macOS Catalina meant the farewell of iTunes, whose functionality was distributed in new independent applications such as Music, Podcasts and those aimed at its television service; however, Windows users were left without any news. But as they have discovered in MacRumors, the company is looking for developers specialized in multimedia applications for Windows, which translates into a very clear hint.

When the new Apple content applications will be available on Windows is another song, because if they have to start their development from scratch it will cost them.

They mention in MacRumors that "Windows 10 users currently need access to services such as Apple TV and Apple Music on the web, which is not ideal," but the truth is that while Apple Music does have a limited, accessible web interface, In the case of Apple TV, it is yet to be launched, at least as far as the video on demand service is concerned, which will undoubtedly be one of the company's most interested in promoting outside the walls.

In this regard there is a striking fact in the job offer that they have published, and it will be considered a “big plus” to have knowledge about UWP (Universal Windows Platform), the universal applications of Windows 10 that precisely in Windows 10 are not having much success, rather the opposite, but still have a gap to fill the most interesting in adjacent platforms such as Xbox One. Which would, of course, be the best possible move in order to open to a wider market.

Do not impede, seen as seen, another doubt arises when less curious: will they also extend Apple Arcade beyond their domains? And if they did, could they take it to Xbox One? This seems more complicated because the games in the catalog are developed by professors for iOS and macOS, but by power. Now, would an external gaming service on Xbox One be feasible? These are just caballas, it should be added.
