In recent years Apple’s (AAPL) do-it-all iTunes has become more bloated than a stuffed turkey. The completely overhauled iTunes 11 was first announced at the iPhone 5 event for an October release, but was delayed until November because Apple “wanted to take a little extra time to get it right.” With the month almost over, it looks like Apple might finally be ready to release the simplified iTunes app, according to a message received by MacRumors forum member Mikhail who goes by the online pseudonym “stek.” Apple has reportedly begun sending out requests to artists and music labels requesting high-resolution images and galleries for iTunes 11’s release “within the next few days.” iTunes 11 will be the first iTunes to feature iCloud integration.
