Many apps are now being updated to take advantage of the leap to iOS 10.

iTunes is a media player, online radio broadcaster, media library and mobile device management application that has been developed by Apple and released back in 2001.

Yes, it is now possible for iPhone users to just say “Siri, get me an Uber”. The update introduces a much cleaner look overall for Apple Music with larger black font and simplified navigation.

Also arriving today is Picture-in-Picture mode. The most noticeable change to the software has come in the form of aesthetics as Apple Music has been completely redesigned to give “greater clarity and simplicity” to the music service.

If you download an app that supports Apple TV, then it will show up on Apple TV, automatically. After launching iTunes, an error message appears, warning that iTunes is “Unable to connect to iCloud Music Library”.

Unfortunately, this makes it hard to really begin to use the upgraded version of iTunes, as the message continually interrupts.

The update also enabled deep searching within third-party apps, meaning Apple TV owners can, for example, search for a YouTube channel directly from the home screen.
