Apple TV+ iTunes 4K Upgrades Thread (1 Viewer)

Mine is still HD thought it looks identical to the Paramount + app.

Do you mean the Paramount+ app on your AppleTV 4K?

Mine (a 2021 ATV4K) indicates 4K for those (on their info pages anyway), but no HDR though, so I'm not completely sure they're really streaming in 4K since I don't have X-code or whatever extra enhancements installed/enabled to be able to tell.

I just want to circle back to state some titles like Casablanca, The Lost Boys and Poltergeist in which I redeemed their digital codes would only upgrade an older HD digital to 4K and then iTunes would orphan them in which they were no longer available to purchase. However, a new and different 4K digital would be added to iTunes for purchase with the new artwork that's on the new 4K discs. Those new 4K digitals didn't appear in my iTunes library. Just the older HD digitals that upgraded to 4K.

However, I noticed a while ago that those new and different 4K digitals are now present in my iTunes library. Now, I have two different 4K digitals of Casablanca, The Lost Boys and Poltergeist with one of each unavailable to purchase.

With Warner about to release such classic movies as Cool Hand Luke, The Maltese Falcon and Rebel Without a Cause to 4K/UHD with digital codes, I suspect the same thing is going to happen with those titles in 2023. I already pre-ordered those three 4K/UHD releases. The HD digitals that I purchased on iTunes several years ago of those three movies will probably upgrade to 4K and then be unavailable for future purchase and that new 4K digitals will appear on iTunes for purchase.

I don't know when it happened but Team America: World Police is UHD/Dolby Vision on iTunes.

The Rocky II, Rocky III and Rocky IV movies in my iTunes library have upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision. The first Rocky upgraded to 4K a few years ago.

4 months late, From Here to Eternity has finally upgraded on iTunes. Way to go, Sony I was hoping iTunes would be the one digital retailer to have it with Atmos sound, but alas no, Atmos is exclusive to the physical disc for this title.

Let's make this a grassroots movement to get Sony back on their game with regards to digital releases. The studio's 4K disc releases are spectacular, but their digitals are getting disappointing with delayed releases and not upgrading older digital releases.

Letter to Sony Pictures Home Entertainment

It is frustrating how inconsistent the same movie will be available across various digital retailers in terms of audio and video formats.

Looks like I am finally getting my copy on disc next week. Curious if the digitals have the same issues that many are reporting on the disc set.

The Rocky Knockout Collection 4K set may have audio issues, plus Aronofsky’s Pi returns & Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon turns 50

We’re tracking a bunch of things today here at The Bits, so let me just give you a quick rundown. First of all, Shudder and RLJE Films have set Rebekah McKendry’s Glorious for release on Blu-ray and DVD on 3/14. For you UK readers, Eureka is releasing a new Masters of Cinema Blu-ray edition on...

The iTunes Rocky II has the same pitch problem as the disc.

My HD digital of From Here to Eternity has upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision.

Annie seems to now be 4K everywhere but ITunes.

It's the only title left from that last 6-Film 4K Classics boxset that hasn't been upgraded to 4K on iTunes.

My HD digital of From Here to Eternity has upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision.

Is there an echo in here? I thought for sure I just announced that. But I’m still really bummed about the lack of Atmos.

THE FRONT and HARDCORE have been upgraded to 4K

Superman III may be in the process of upgrading. The Warner Bros. logo at the start is no longer the "As Time Goes By" shield grafted onto it and the Apple TV app on my computer and Apple TV show the Atmos logo. However it is not currently playing in Atmos.

Finally, “Annie” has upgraded to 4K Dolby Vision.

Roman Holiday has upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision on iTunes.

They Live and Cinderella (1950) in my iTunes Library upgraded to 4K/HDR and Dolby Vision.

They Live and Cinderella (1950) in my iTunes Library upgraded to 4K/HDR and Dolby Vision.

By the way I watched ten minutes of Cinderella and it looked beautiful on my 65” OLED. So much so I’m going to watch the movie in its entirety.

On iTunes, Crocodile Dundee II is now 4K/Dolby Vision. The first Crocodile Dundee movie is still in HD.

Do we have any speculation on The Nutty Professor?

I thought I saw a 4K disc announced.

No worries there. The UHD disc release specifies digital copy included, so the iTunes digital should upgrade around the time of the disc release. Paramount doesn't play the game of multiple iTunes listings to try and block free upgrades like some other studios do.
