The big news: iTunes is no more. Instead, Apple is splitting iTunes into three separate apps: Apple Music, Apple Podcasts and Apple TV. Users no longer need iTunes to sync their phones to a computer.

But I don’t necessarily know where they got that. As for the encrypted backup, I quit using it when they added all the stuff to iCloud that used to be only in the encrypted backup. That plus the fact that you couldn’t back up all apps anymore was enough to make iTunes more less useless for any sort of phone back up for me. What I want to know is what happens with iTunes match? I have a lot of music in the cloud that I ripped for my own CDs and was matched in iTunes match. Some of that music is not on the Apple Music store or music service I should say. And they’re telling me my match subscription is up for renewal this month. Are they going to take my 25 bucks and then kill it? I wonder how I find that out, and what happens to all that music that I owned and ripped and now lives on an old Mac and in my music library in the cloud through match.

I now wonder how you will be able to add music, ring tones, and other items if doing it from windows. I also wonder if you will only be able to back up your device to icloud now, taking away the encrypted backup option to your computer. As well as being only able to update your device over wi-fi. My only thought is that they might incorporate the backup option into the icloud program that you can install on a windows computer. Now this is just a thought, I have not heard anything confirming this. One thing is for sure, there is a lot of unanswered questions.

Janet Apple is killing off iTunes, reports say By Chris Ciaccia | Fox News Fox News Flash top headlines for June 3 Just a few months after it became an adult, Apple is killing off one of its most controversial creations. Launched January 9, 2001, the tech giant is set to end its music and movie media player, iTunes, according to Bloomberg. The move, which will be announced at Apple's developer conference, had been widely expected, given the rise of streaming services, including Apple Music and its soon-to-be-launched Apple TV+. The brainchild of Steve Jobs, iTunes ushered in an era where it made it easy to access music legally. Users could pay as little as 99 cents for a song or a similar amount for an episode of a TV show or movie, but it had outlived its usefulness. Over the past several years, there were a seemingly endless string of complaints from users about its cluttered nature, the amount of computing power it took to run the program and other concerns. APPLE WWDC PREVIEW: HERE'S THE NEW STUFF THAT'S COMING To replace iTunes, Apple will launch three new apps for the Mac, Music, TV and Podcasts, bringing it in line with Apple's strategy for iOS devices, which already have dedicated Music, TV and Podcast apps. Apple has already wiped the iTunes' social networking accounts clean. Both the Instagram and the Facebook page still exist, but all the posts have been deleted. As Apple looks to smooth out its revenue and focus more on services, it has turned the focus towards initiatives such as Apple Music, which has more than 50 million paying subscribers and lets users access more than 45 million songs for $9.99 a month. In addition to getting rid of iTunes, Apple will announce several new updates to its operating systems, including iOS, macOS and watchOS. New health features are expected to be incorporated into iOS and watchOS, including a revamped Health app that will let users know how loud they are listening to music or movies on their device or headphones. Apple’s mobile operating system is tipped to add dark mode, easing the strain on users' eyes and increasing battery life. Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple will make these announcements and more when its keynote address starts at 1 p.m. EST.
