In late 2022, Microsoft announced that the popular music platform Apple Music and media service Apple TV will come to Windows 11. Today, the long-awaited has come true and both applications have been quietly launched. Additionally, the Windows version of Apple Devices also debuted today.
We can say that this development is pleasing for Windows users. Because they will no longer have to use both iTunes and Apple Music and the web version of Apple TV+, which is not available in our country.
Apple Music and Apple TV added to Microsoft Store with preview versions
We should not go without mentioning that Apple Music and Apple TV have been added to the Microsoft Store with preview versions. This is still in the early stages of implementation; which means that some of the features that are normally available are missing in the missing Windows 11 applications.
For example, preview versions of both apps do not have Dolby Atmos. In addition, it can be seen that the feature that shows the lyrics is not available in Apple Music, HDR10 + support and Dolby Vision are not included in the Apple TV. Since there are beta versions, we can say that full versions will be available soon.

Apart from the two applications, the preview version of Apple Devices, which enables the management of multiple Apple devices in Windows, has also been released for the operating system. However, there was one thing that stood out in this application. According to MacRumors, a Twitter user also came across references in the application about the AR / VR set that we expect Apple to introduce this year.
The user named “aaronp613”, who examined Apple Devices, came across the names “realityOS” and “xrOS” in the application. Both names have been mentioned in the rumors about the technology giant’s augmented / virtual reality glasses so far. Until last month, it was thought that the system would be called “realityOS”. However, the information released in December showed that Apple would change its decision and use the name “xrOS”. The “xr” here stands for augmented reality with an emphasis on both augmented and virtual reality.
