If you’re an iDevice user then iTunes is most definitely part of your life. It is the software that lets your iPhone, iPad or iPod communicate with your computer. In addition to that it offers a plethora of other features. You can’t escape iTunes if you’ve invested in Apple’s ecosystem.
Back at the iPhone 5 event Apple announced the new iTunes 11 that comes with an all new design and loads of new features and functionality. This includes the redesigned interface for the player that looks a lot slicker, a new mini player, redesigned store, tighter iCloud integration and much more. The scheduled release date for iTunes 11 was October. But October has come and gone and iTunes 11 is nowhere to be seen.
According to Apple the new release date for iTunes 11 has been pushed back to November.
The new iTunes is taking longer than expected and we wanted to take a little extra time to get it right. We look forward to releasing this new version of iTunes with its dramatically simpler and cleaner interface, and seamless integration with iCloud before the end of November
While it may be a disappointment to those looking forward to get their hands on the new iTunes 11 as soon as possible, it’s still a positive sign from Apple that they’re not about to release an unfinished product. This is in wake of recent software disappointments like the unbaked Maps and the undercooked Siri. Apple simply cannot afford to let slip another bugged piece of software.
