However, the app is still available as a separate download through Apple’s website (it requires Windows 8 or later). Other exploits fixed were related to AppleGraphicsControl, ImageIO, and WebKit.Īpple recommends that Windows users download the latest version of iTunes from the Microsoft Store. However, rather than adding new features, the update is focused on fixing bugs and security breaches for those who still rely on iTunes.Īccording to an Apple Support webpage, iTunes 12.12.4 fixes five different exploits that could be used for arbitrary code execution through the music player.Ī specific exploit in the Mobile Device Service, which manages the connection between PC and iOS devices, allowed an app to delete files from the computer without permission.
There are plenty of users who have both an Apple and a Windows device, so with this in mind, perhaps it's time at WWDC for the company to recognize this, and put iTunes to bed.Apple this week quietly released an update for the Windows version of its iTunes music player. ITunes has had its day - it's a relic of an era where we used PCs and laptops to manage our music for our iPods, and for a time, apps for our iPhones. Perhaps this is where the Apple TV app, found on televisions, could come over to Windows 11 to alleviate this, while podcasts could be their own app for both Android and Windows devices.
Yet iTunes still offers podcasts and videos that can be bought within the app in Windows, which complicates things.
Translating this to Windows would be a challenge, but as Apple Music is available on Android, there may be potential to make it available to Windows 11 users as an app as well, saving the company from having to support two music apps on two different platforms.Īs Android apps are available as a preview for users in the Microsoft Store, this could make sense for Apple and Apple Music users who don't have a Mac, especially as it's also arrived on Roku devices.
