Cider brings Apple Music to Windows too
Apple Music users who use a Windows PC will most likely feel the need to switch to a more advanced and modern client than usual iTunes to listen to their favorite songs. Although on Apple devices (iPad, iPhone, Mac, Apple TV) there is a dedicated application, the same cannot be said for Windows, whose users continue to rely on software, such as iTunes, which is definitely not in step with the times. .Photo Credit: Cider Collective Apparently, things are about to change. In fact, from the Microsoft Store it is possible to buy Cider (currently still in the alpha phase), which is proposed as a decidedly more current client to enjoy your music on Windows. Cider is offered at a price of € 0.99, but you can try it for free for 24 hours and is available, as well as for the operating system of the Redmond house, also for macOS and Linux. Obviously, an active Apple Music subscription is required to work.
Photo Credit: Cider Collective Cider, at present, already allows you to enjoy a good listening experience and a modern and snappy graphic interface, but it has a rather important limitation (even if not fundamental for some): it lacks Apple's loseless audio support. Due to an API limitation, this lack will surely be felt by those who want the highest possible audio quality.
According to the latest rumors, it seems that Apple is working on a new generation of MacBook Air which should arrive in the course of 2023, with the support of the new M2 processor. Unlike previous generations, the MacBook Air range could be made up of two models: a 13.6 "and a second 15.2". The current 13.3 ″ MacBook Air will continue to represent a reference point in the notebook market for several months, while more details on the new MacBooks could arrive as early as the second half of 2022.
