Sure, three apps could spread the workload around a bit... although this is done at the price of one of the most recognized programs in the world.
Is this the final opening of iTunes?

Anyway, we'll have all the details on Monday morning during Apple's WWDC 2019 keynote.- Apple could also tell us a bit more about its Apple Arcade service...
