Finally, 4K Movies Come to iTunes Store
Many iTunes users have been wondering when Apple will provide 4K movies in iTunes Store while 1080P can't meet their requirements to high definition. And finally, Apple is now rolling out 4K HDR movies to all iTunes users.

As to iTunes 4K HDR movies, here is what Apple described, "Watching a movie in 4K HDR means experiencing it with amazing clarity and vibrant colors. With 4K, you get four times as many pixels as HD, resulting in sharper, crisper images. And HDR delivers colors that are brighter, richer, and more true to life. Explore a selection of movies available with these stunning qualities."
After Apple TV 4K's debut, Apple changed the highlight to TV 4K and here is how Apple described Apple TV 4K: "This collection of movies has been upgraded to our highest quality level – 4K HDR – for the new Apple TV 4K. Watching a movie in 4K HDR means experiencing it with amazing clarity and vibrant colors. With 4K, you get four times as many pixels as HD, resulting in sharper, crisper images. And HDR delivers colors that are brighter, richer, and more true to life."
