Ahoy, me hearties! Rejoice, ye iPhone users who possess Windows PCs! Yer days of feelin' like lowly scallywags be over, for ye shall now bask in the glory of equality. No longer shall ye be deemed second-class citizens of the digital realm!
The iTunes for Windows app has undergone a significant overhaul, with the introduction of four separate apps: iCloud, Apple Music, Apple TV, and Devices. This change aims to provide a more streamlined and intuitive experience for users, addressing the long-standing issues of clunkiness and slowness that have plagued iTunes on Windows. The new apps offer aesthetic improvements, a simplified syncing process, and enhanced features.One notable improvement is in iCloud Photos, which now allows users to create shared albums, access and remove photos and videos directly from their PC, and view photos from the default Microsoft Photos app. This consolidation of photos from both PC and phone into one place offers greater convenience and a more seamless experience.
The new iCloud Drive app enables file sharing directly from File Explorer, making it easier for iPhone users with Windows 11 laptops and PCs to integrate their devices. Password management is also streamlined, with the ability to view passwords in the iCloud Passwords app on a Windows PC, without needing to access an iPhone or iPad.
Additionally, Apple Calendars, Bookmarks, and contacts can now be synced on a PC, allowing users to view their iCloud Calendar in Microsoft Outlook. The Apple Music app has received a refresh, with a new user interface, time-synced lyrics, and 4K music videos. The Apple TV app for Windows brings the viewing library to the desktop, providing a convenient option for multi-tasking.
The introduction of the Devices app allows users to keep track of connected devices and easily sync, update, and backup Apple devices. Overall, these changes bring a more contemporary feel to the Apple experience on Windows, providing much-needed improvements for PC users who want to integrate their iPhones without owning a Mac.
