iTunes was introduced to the world by Steve Jobs on January 9, 2001. Now it appears that the iconic app will be retired this year. Apple will reportedly replace iTunes with Music, TV, and Podcasts apps in the upcoming macOS 10.15 that is expected to be unveil at WWDC 2019 on Monday.

The information corresponds a recent repot from 9To5Mac which claimed that iTunes will be renamed to Music on the Mac. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said,
iTunes has been the way Apple users listen to music, watch movies and TV shows, hear podcasts, and manage their devices for almost two decades. This year, Apple is finally ready to move into a new era. The company is launching a trio of new apps for the Mac - Music, TV, and Podcasts - to replace iTunes. That matches Apple's media app strategy on iPhones and iPads. Without iTunes, customers can manage their Apple gadgets through the Music app.
With Apple retiring this app, let's look back. Steve Jobs said in a press release about iTunes in 2001:
Apple has done what Apple does best -- make complex applications easy, and make them even more powerful in the process. iTunes is miles ahead of every other jukebox application, and we hope its dramatically simpler user interface will bring even more people into the digital music revolution.
Apple's iTunes changed the way people access music, podcasts, movies, and TV shows. We cannot thank Apple enough for the advancement as it has lead to more advancements and greater access to music and entertainment.
