Apple Devices is a Windows application for managing iOS devices. It was released in February 2024 and is part of Apple's split of iTunes into separate apps. The application is distributed through the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 version 22H2 and later and is unique to Windows, because device management functionality is integrated into Finder on macOS.

Similar to the build of iTunes released through the Microsoft Store, Apple Devices utilizes an embedded copy of Apple Application Support, along with its components such as MobileDevice. In contrast to iTunes, which relies on a port of macOS's AppKit to Win32, Apple Devices has been rebuilt using the Windows Runtime and Windows UI Library. It leverages the AMPDevices core frameworks, akin to those employed by Finder.
