Excellent!
Have just installed this version, and oh, my, what a massive
improvement it is both in terms of accessibility and UI design.

Hello, I am not being critical of this, but this was a good move. Plus, the
fact it won't upgrade mean you shouldn't have to worry about accessibility
issues, at least for now. I have iTunes 12.6.3 on my mac, even though I
initially had iTunes 12.7, the one without the app store and ringtones, and it
seems to work well.

Apple has quietly released iTunes 12.6.3, which reintroduces the ability to
download App Store apps and ringtones from within the iTunes desktop
software.
Apple is making this version of iTunes available because "certain business
partners might still need to use iTunes to install apps", but the download
is basically available to anyone looking to reinstate the functionality that
was removed in iTunes 12.7.
If you've already installed a newer version of iTunes, you can download this
version of iTunes on your Mac, PC 32-bit or PC 64-bit and run the installer.
After installation is complete, you can continue to deploy apps with iTunes.
You won't be prompted to download new versions of iTunes after you install
this version.
Installation packages for Mac and PC (32-bit and 64-bit) are available for
download on the support page. After the installation, most users will need
to rebuild their iTunes Library. To do this, hold down the Option key when
the app launches and in the dialog window that appears choose "Create
Library...". Give the new library a name that's different to your existing
library, and then migrate over your albums using the Add to Library...
option under the Files menu.
Apple released iTunes 12.7 in September and said the new version was
designed to focus solely on music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and
audiobooks, which was the reason behind the removal of the built-in App
Store. Following the change, apps and ringtones could only be downloaded on
an iOS device.
This special "business edition" of iTunes includes compatibility with iOS
11, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X. It's not clear how long Apple
will offer iTunes 12.6.3, and the company does not provide technical support
for this version, but for those who want the functionality it could be a
useful makeweight until Apple comes up with an alternative solution.
iTunes 12.6.3 can be downloaded from:
