Microsoft had previously announced that Apple would release a Windows 10 version of iTunes, and now it turns out that the iPhone maker is finally ready to release the app.
An AppleCare advisor recently revealed that the launch of iTunes on the Microsoft is very close, adding that the app is already available internally and will be made public very soon.
Additionally, he stated that the app will be able to detect existing iTunes installations and then transfer all the data for a seamless transition to the Microsoft Store.
The version of iTunes on the Microsoft Store was originally expected to be released on December 31, 2017, but Apple stated that it needed more time to complete the development process.
The app's release seems to come at the right time for Windows 10 users, as Microsoft is also preparing to unveil the new Windows 10 Redstone 4 build. This operating system version is scheduled to be finalized this month, while global rollout will begin next month for users who are not part of the Insider program.
Bringing iTunes to the Microsoft Store is a smart move for both Microsoft and Apple as it will make the app available to users running Windows 10 in S mode, which prevents the installation of Win32 software.
This particular operating system is specifically aimed at educators and students, and given how popular the iPhone is among this particular consumer segment, there's a good chance many will find the new version of iTunes quite useful.
