Services have become one big cash cow for Apple, and Apple Music is clearly one of the products the Cupertino-based tech giant thinks they have a bright future.

As a result, Apple Music is supposed to be made available to as many customers as possible, including on non-Apple platforms. And these include Windows 10 too, with the company now said to be working on a new application that would be released on Microsoft’s operating system.

More specifically, a report from 9to5Mac indicates Apple wants to bring Apple Music and Apple Podcasts to Windows 10 users are Microsoft Store apps, though, for the time being, very little is known.

The company hasn’t commented on this plan but this really isn’t a big surprise. Apple rarely talks about ongoing projects, so expect the company to only discuss the new Windows 10 apps when they are ready.

Currently in beta stage

In the meantime, it looks like Apple Music and Apple Podcasts are already in the beta stage in the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 users, only that they are being tested with a very limited set of users. The purpose here is pretty clear: the company wants to collect feedback, find bugs, and fix them before the go-ahead is given for all users out there.

Apple Music and Apple Podcasts wouldn’t be the first apps making their way to the Microsoft Store, as the company has already released iTunes for Windows 10 users. However, with the Cupertino-based tech giant insisting on its services, it’s very clear that bringing these apps to more platforms is part of the long-term plan, especially because they’re supposed to bring home the bacon.

The debut of the apps is expected to happen later this year, according to the cited source, so more information should surface in the coming months.
