macOS Catalina finally overhauls iTunes by splitting it up into three apps

iTunes will now be split off into three dedicated apps: Apple Music, Apple Podcasts and TV

Apple unveield macOS Catalina during its WWDC keynote that does the one thing users have been asking forever: revamps iTunes entirely.

That was the big story with macOS in general. Apple's Craigh Federighi about adding even more services to iTunes, like Mail, playing off the years-long criticism of iTunes that it has become too bloated. To combat this, Apple is splitting it up in to three seperate apps: Apple Music, Apple Podcasts and TV.

This should make the experience much more streamlined and effective. No more bumbling through your old music just to buy or watch a movie. That experience will now happen in the new standalone TV app. It's the same story for Apple Music and Apple Podcasts.

Let's pour one out for iTunes which served us for nearly two decades.

One major side effect of this is the way you sync iPhones. Instead of going through an app, this function will now happen in Finder. This should make the experience much more streamlined. Syncing iPhones nowadays is not done to download music, it is to back it up with computer. This allows that interaction to be much more pronounced.
