Apple pushes 4K HDR movies with 3-movie bundle sale
Apple has launched a sale on 4K HDR 3-movie collections content through the Apple TV iTunes Movie app with prices ranging from $19.99 to $24.99.
The collections are from Lionsgate, Universal Studios, 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, and Warner Brothers.
Significantly missing from the promotion is any movies from Walt Disney Studios, who recently removed its content from Netflix and recently announced plans for its own streaming service scheduled to launch in the Fall of 2019. Disney content is available on the iTunes movie app, but the Hollywood studio is not participating in the 4K HDR movie sale.
The movies are divided into Action & Adventure, Comedy, Drama, and Sci-Fi & Fantasy categories.
