Apple TV+ iTunes 4K Upgrades Thread (4 Viewers)

Yeah, they burned you on that one. It's relisted as a separate purchase in 4K/DV/Atmos.

It doesn’t matter because one day the 4K/UHD boxset will be mine in due time.

NOT IN 4K WITH HDR BUT.....

We watched "Defending Your Life" on Apple TV last night and it was clear this was a new transfer. I don't have the Criterion Blu-ray which says it's sourced from a new 4K transfer, and I'll bet that's what this is. After the film I looked at the streaming copies on Vudu and Movies Anywhere and they were the older, grungier HD transfer. The version on Apple TV was letterboxed at 1.85:1 while the other services were full-screen 1.78:1.

We need to let Movies Anywhere know that there is a possible mapping issue with that title.

I bought The Prince of Tides on iTunes four years ago with the hope that I’d eventually get the Criterion transfer. Long wait, but finally that wish came true as they just upgraded it to the new transfer AND in 4K!

My 2019 iTunes purchase upgraded to 4K but no HDR or Dolby Vision.

The mapping must have been fixed, because I now have both listings in my Apple TV library.

I don’t think so because if I bought that newer 4K digital when the price dropped to 4.99, I would have both in my iTunes library. The old HD digital that is in my library is still available for purchase.

The first one is 4K DV/DA, the second is HD and 5.1.

 

[Robert Crawford]

I have nothing else to say on the matter.

 

[TonyD]

I have at least 2 maybe three movies like that.

DON'T LOOK NOW has been upgraded to 4K DOLBY VISION. Great news considering it had been recently released in 4K on Criterion.

Has Cutthroat Island upgraded to 4K for anyone? I see it’s available on VUDU as part of a FanFlix sale.

 

[TonyD]

Nope. I with perfect timing bought but for $5 on Apple last night too.

 

[Neil S. Bulk]

My Cutthroat Island hasn't upgraded. I had a $3 coupon for Vudu, where the 4K version was on sale for $7.99, so I bought it there. But now I think I'm going to ask for a refund. The webpage says "Dolby Digital Plus 5.1" but I'm only getting 2.0 and from what I've just looked at, the compression is terrible.

Good luck with that. Vudu/FAH customer service has been horrible lately.

I would call vudu customer service asap. Explain the issue and they should refund you immediately. That’s been my experience with them in these matters.

Major League has upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision.

 

[Robert Crawford]

Ocean’s Thirteen has upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision. Hopefully, Eleven and Twelve will follow suit shortly as all three are coming out on 4K/UHD in the near future.

By the way, Ocean’s Thirteen has been downgraded to HD. I’m not surprised by that move.

 

[Worth]

Kurosawa’s Ran has also downgraded to HD for some reason.

Kurosawa’s Ran has also downgraded to HD for some reason.

I'm very happy to report that my iTunes copy of Ran is still 4K/Dolby Vision and plays back as such. Not sure what happened to yours.
