Apple Music is available in the Microsoft Store. XBOX users will be able to access it immediately, while Windows users will be able to access it next year. The preview versions of Apple Music and Apple TV will allow Apple subscribers to access music and TV shows on Windows without having to use a web version of the app. The Photos app on Windows 11 has been integrated with the cloud.

The main Windows Photos app will be updated to make it easier to find photos from your device on a Windows PC or laptop. To get this integration, all Windows users need to install the latest version of the iCloud Windows app.

The launch of Apple TV on Xbox consoles and the appearance of Apple Music on PS5 preceded these new integrations. It has taken Apple a long time to fully support Windows and the Microsoft Store here, but the integration of iCloud photos is a welcome addition for iPhone users who use a Windows laptop or PC.
