<p>Apple is supposedly on the verge of launching a new first-party app for Microsoft’s Windows 10, a move that could see the tech giant replace iTunes with standalone streaming apps. </p>

<p>Without citing sources, Italian blog <em>Aggiornamenti Lumia</em> in a <a href="https://twitter.com/ALumia_Italia/status/1281854698279047170?s=20">tweet</a> last week appears to claim an Apple-branded app will soon debut on Microsoft’s online storefront. </p>

<div class="col-sm-12">
<p>“A new Apple app coming soon to the Microsoft Store?” the cryptic tweet reads.

<p>Late last year, a job listing on LinkedIn revealed Apple was <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/11/20/apple-working-on-new-media-apps-for-windows">looking to hire</a> a software engineer who would work on the “next generation” of media apps for Windows. According to the <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/1541300853/">post</a>, Apple sought an individual with Universal Windows Platform (UWP) experience. The API, introduced alongside Windows 10, allows developers to write and deploy software for use on Windows 10, Xbox One and HoloLens.

<div class="col-sm-12">
<p>Currently, Apple’s Windows app offerings consist of iTunes and iCloud, the former of which was <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/06/05/itunes-isnt-dead-its-faster-streamlined-and-renamed-apple-music-in-macos-catalina">dismantled</a> on Mac with macOS Catalina. </p>

<div class="col-sm-12">
<p>Instead of one overarching, bloated app, Apple split its streaming services and content collection apps into multiple properties — <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/apple-music">Apple Music</a>, TV, Podcasts and Books. Device management features previously integrated into iTunes likewise migrated to Mac’s Finder. </p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12">
<p>On Windows, however, iTunes is still the only official content management hub for iPhone and iPad owners. Further, the app acts as an access portal for Apple Music subscribers. Windows users can stream <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/04/17/apple-musics-web-browser-based-player-launches">Apple Music</a> and <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/apple-tv-plus">Apple TV+</a> content <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/04/17/apple-musics-web-browser-based-player-launches">on the web</a>, though Apple has yet to release dedicated software for doing the same on Microsoft’s operating system. That could change in the near future. </p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12">
<p>Whether Apple plans to issue new Windows apps for its various subscription products remains unclear, though the company is pushing hard to build out a booming services business. </p>
