After 18 years, Apple finally ends support for buying Movies and TV on iTunes

New Apple TV interface.

When TV shows and movies got incorporated into iTunes 6 back in October 2005, it streamlined a more messy process. Now, with the launch of iOS 17.2, Apple has finally outgrown it, and iTunes may be on the way out too. 

As we originally reported last week during the tvOS 17.2 RC, iTunes Movies and iTunes TV shows purchased before now can be found in the Apple TV app, as it aims to replace all these services with just Apple TV. You won’t miss out on any purchases made until now and can, instead, buy any new shows or movies through the app. This change has now not only gone live on tvOS17.2 but iOS 17.2, automatically moving where you can purchase your TV shows and movies. Devices that have not yet been updated will still be able to purchase and view TV shows and movies from the iTunes Store.
