Apple Music and Apple TV+ are among the largest audio and video streaming services in the world. They were previously limited to Apple’s own platforms, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS, and tvOS. Later, Apple extended Apple Music to Android and Apple TV+ to Smart TV operating systems, including Samsung’s Tizen operating system. On PCs you can also use them through a web browser, but that was a poor experience.
Last night, Microsoft announced during its Surface 2022 launch that the Apple Music and Apple TV+ apps would be coming to the Windows operating system. You will soon be able to use these apps on your Samsung laptops running Windows 10 or Windows 11. These native apps are said to feature a modern UI design and faster performance, which should improve the user experience by a huge margin compared to using Apple services through a web browser. .
The first betas of the Apple Music and Apple TV+ applications will soon be available on Windows 10 and 11 via the Microsoft Store. And stable versions of apps will be released early next year. If you use Apple devices/services alongside Samsung, you’ll appreciate this decision.
Apple is now focused on expanding the reach of its services as it prioritizes its subscription revenue over hardware sales. As you recall, the company opened up its AirPlay 2 functionality to third-party smart TV brands, including Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio, HiSense, Hitachi, Philips, and Roku.
