Microsoft’s October 12 Surface event may have focused on the Surface Pro 9, Surface Laptop 5 and Surface Studio 2 Plus, but there was a little surprise for iPhone users living on Windows . During a segment of the event that talked about Windows 11 and helping Windows customers work on their devices, Microsoft shared that Apple Music and Apple TV will be coming to the Microsoft Store soon. The fact that an iCloud Photos integration will come to the Windows 11 Photos app is also shared.

Microsoft said the Apple Music and Apple TV apps will arrive next year and announced that previews will be coming to the Microsoft Store soon. Apple Music is already available on Xbox, which is why Microsoft mentioned at the event that it was a commitment to make it easier than ever for “customers to access the entertainment they love even more easily. from Apple on their Xbox and Windows devices”. It’s unclear, however, if this will replace iTunes on Windows, which was already available for download in the Microsoft Store.

Screenshot of Windows 11 Photos app with iCloud photo integration

In addition to this news, Microsoft has announced that it is also adding iCloud Photos integration in Windows 11. Apple iPhone users can download the iCloud for Windows app from the Microsoft Store. Then, after that, the photos taken from iPhone will automatically appear in the Windows 11 Photos app. Users can click it through the “iCloud Photos” section in the sidebar of the app to directly view the iCloud photos or view iPhone photos in the “All Photos” feed. All photos from iCloud will be marked with an Apple Photos logo when selected.

This builds on the integrations Microsoft has already made with Android and Windows 11 and is an interesting way around Apple’s walled garden. Thanks to the Phone Link app, Windows users with Android phones could already view their texts and photos directly on Windows without using cloud services or third-party apps.

Besides announcing the first major Windows 11 update, Microsoft has also been busy expanding Android app support on Windows to 31 countries and launched its Microsoft Store Ads developer pilot on September 21.

The Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) was an interesting feature to see, although Microsoft’s partnership with Amazon to bring Android apps to Windows instead of Google seems like a confusing choice. The company is now doubling down on that approach by expanding Amazon’s App Store to 31 countriesincluding Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, UK and USA.

Windows 11 users in supported countries will now be able to download and use over 20,000 Android apps on their Windows PCs natively. Finding Android games and apps has also been simplified. Android apps will now appear like any other content on the Microsoft Store and will now be found in editorials and search results alongside online ratings and reviews.

WSA has also been improved in the latest update. Microsoft claims two to three times faster graphics performance with hardware acceleration support. Video DRM support, improved handling of input via touch, mouse and keyboard as well as several network and security enhancements are also coming to WSA.

Announced earlier this year in May, Microsoft Store Ads is also launching its developer pilot. The company is currently onboard developers to the program allowing them to create advertising campaigns in the Microsoft store using Microsoft Advertising to reach a wider customer base on Windows 10 and 11 devices.

Microsoft says it’s committed to finding the right balance between developer success and customer experience. So let’s hope they don’t flood the store with ads before it even gets proper traction. WSA support on Windows extended to more regions means that the Microsoft Store will be used more and people will start downloading Android apps. Having the ad-riddled experience may very well leave a sour taste for new users.
