Apple plans to discontinue the app iTunes, σχεδόν δύο δεκαετίες μετά την κυκλοφορία της. Σύμφωνα με το Bloomberg, η εταιρεία σχεδιάζει να αποσύρει το προϊόν στην εκδήλωση WWDC που θα πραγματοποιήσει την επόμενη εβδομάδα.
The end of iTunes is already overdue. It has been rumored for years that Apple will stop selling the app, as the company's customers already use standalone apps for movies, music or podcasts.
According to one Publication of Bloomberg, users can expect the Music app to offer many of the characteristics of iTunes.
Apple's move is largely symbolic. It seems that the company "sees" value in the future of providing reliable applications and services as opposed to providing high end devices. With hardware sales kept at one level, the drive for a surge in profits elsewhere was rather expected.
Some will of course be disappointed with the company's move. The changes, however, follow an evolutionary array: phones that do not require computers, tablets that reduce the need for a laptop, and watches that do not depend on phones.
Let us mention that there is no specific one date for the app's upcoming retirement, but will probably need to give users time to get their files in line.
