The Apple TV app includes access to the Apple TV+ service, movies, and more. You can also buy or rent new and popular movies. Furthermore, you can access Paramount+, AMC+, Showtime, Starz, and other services through premium channels. The app’s design is similar to the macOS version, but you would access the different sections through a list to the side rather than tabs on the top.
Finally, the Apple Devices app allows you to sync, backup, and restore data and even firmware for iOS devices, such as iPhones, iPads, and iPods. Functionality that iTunes currently handle on Windows computers and Finder on Mac.
You can install the new Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Devices apps for Windows 11 from the Microsoft Store. When you open the apps for the first time, you will receive a warning that iTunes will stop working, and since these are previews, only some of the features will work as expected.
