iOS 17.2 Update: Apple Phases Out iTunes Movie Store, Unveils Spatial Video Recording

-

 

Apple introduces significant changes with the latest iOS 17.2 (beta 2) update, unveiling exciting features and subtle shifts. While the spotlight is on the Spatial video recording feature and the new Journal app, a noteworthy change is the gradual phasing out of the iTunes Movie Store.

In a strategic move, Apple plans to merge the iTunes Movie Store with the TV app, streamlining the user experience. Though not fully implemented, clues in the iPhone’s code suggest a forthcoming message for users indicating the migration of iTunes Movies to the Apple TV app.

The TV app itself undergoes a revamp with a new sidebar, enhancing navigation with sections like Search, Watch Now, Channels, Store, and Library. The update hints at potential expansions, possibly making the iTunes Movie Store redundant as users can still purchase movies and TV shows directly through the TV app.

Exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, the spatial video recording feature allows a unique recording style compatible with Apple Vision Pro, a forthcoming device. Although not yet available for purchase, this device promises an enhanced viewing experience for spatial videos.

Additionally, the iOS update introduces the Sensitive Contact Warning feature in apps like Phone, Contacts, and Messages, promoting cautious communication practices. With these changes, Apple continues to evolve its ecosystem, offering a blend of innovation and convenience for its users.
