The end of an era may be coming for Apple’s customers as the company plans to retire iTunes after 18 years, Bloomberg reported Friday.
According to Bloomberg, Apple will announce the move next week during the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose. The paper reports that iTunes’ one-stop shop for music, TV and podcast content will be replaced with three new apps specific to each category. That would bring desktop users in line with Apple’s mobile strategy — iPad and iPhone users already make use of separate apps for music, TV and podcasts.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
