Apple starts uploading 4K HDR movies to iTunes library

On Tuesday, Apple introduced the new generation of Apple TV, the biggest attraction of which is the support for 4K HDR movies. During the presentation, we learned that Apple cooperates with almost all major film studios, and there should be no shortage of 4K HDR content in iTunes. During the keynote, it was even said that some movies will be updated to 4K HDR for free to existing owners. Last night it was reported that Apple started filling its library with new material. On the eve of the start of Apple TV 4K pre-orders, the library began to fill with 4K HDR content.

You'll be able to order the Apple TV 4K today, with the first shipments scheduled for next week (for first-wave countries, just like the iPhone 8/8 Plus and Apple Watch Series 3). The new generation is available in two memory configurations, namely 32GB (5,-) and 190GB (64,-) If you are planning to buy a new generation of Apple TV, you will be interested in the two new icons in the iTunes catalog that indicate quality, in which your selected movie is available.

If you want to try a 4K HDR image, the "4K" and "HDR" icon must be present in the movie preview. So far it seems that Apple is uploading mainly new versions of movies, series have not yet received this visual upgrade, but it is clear that the whole process will take place all day and the situation will continue to develop.

Currently, Apple's official website is "closed" as it prepares to open pre-orders for new products, in our case primarily Apple TV, as other news will be available in the coming weeks. Are you planning to buy a new generation Apple TV, or is 4K HDR content not enough of an attraction for you to buy a new device? Share with us in the discussion.
