For those unfamiliar, while the music portion of iTunes was spun out into a standalone Music app, it actually retained the iTunes backend which basically loaded spider web content into the app, turning it into some kind of wrapper in the procedure. While it was more than lightweight compared to iTunes previously, it all the same wasn't ideal.

According to the tweet, the latest beta version of macOS 12.2 has revealed that the Apple Music app now uses AppKit, which is macOS' native interface framework. What this means is that the app should exist able to work faster and more efficiently once it has been fully converted to a native macOS app.

That being said, even though information technology's in the macOS 12.ii beta, we're not sure if information technology will be complete in fourth dimension for the next update, but for Apple Music app users on the Mac, this could exist an update to look forward to.
