Apple has announced plans to replace iTunes, its long-running software which revolutionised the way people buy music, films and TV shows 18 years ago. The media and content that iTunes currently looks after will be handled by three separate apps instead – Apple Music, Apple Podcasts and the Apple TV app. Apple is making the changes on Mac because iTunes has become bloated since it first launched. At the beginning, it was purely music-focused, but later added films, TV shows and podcasts. The decision makes the Mac experience more aligned with the iOS experience, where these separate apps already exist alongside iTunes.
