"I am now fairly confident based on evidence I don't wish to make public at this point that Apple is planning new (likely UIKit) Music, Podcasts, perhaps even Books, apps for macOS, to join the new TV app," said Troughton-Smith.
I am now fairly confident based on evidence I don't wish to make public at this point that Apple is planning new (likely UIKit) Music, Podcasts, perhaps even Books, apps for macOS, to join the new TV app. I expect the four to be the next wave of Marzipan apps. Grain of salt, etc

Troughton-Smith believes that each of these new apps would be Marzipan apps, meaning that they would work across all Apple operating systems.
Apple has not mentioned unbundling iTunes, but it is likely that it will happen at WWDC 2019 if the leaks are true.
This follows the company recently launching various other new apps, including Apple TV+ and Apple News+.
