I have noticed that updates work best when done in close proximity to your router and connected to power. One important factor however is the solidity of your network connection. If you are in a Wi-fi area and are able to wait for the download to finish and install the update, you don’t need to use a computer at all and can be up and running with the newest OS in a short amount of time. A big benefit of the over the air downloads is the convenience factor. When it comes to upsides and downsides to this method of updating, there a few things to bring up. The updates usually take anywhere from 10-20 minutes depending on your connection and device type yet it something that can usually be done at the end of a day or during a slow office hour. 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.These updates will be downloaded over Wi-Fi and then ready to install at your convenience. 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.
