Apple Releases iTunes 12.6 With Cross-Device Movie Rental Access

And so, the Windows installer went from 177 MB to 257 MB of more crap from Apple.
NO, thank you!

Oh, the horror of it all.

Abou time, Apple. Should have been a standard feature years ago, in my opinion.

You mean 'ONE', and I use that loosely, new product launched today...

And you mean to tell me that you haven't been able to rent a film on one of Apples ecosystem platforms and watch it on its other platforms????? Wow!! Welcome to 2016 Apple.... a bit late, like a few years late, but better late then never!

I seriously thought you could do this with Apple..

But let's not worry as they launched some new case colours today, and did they launch new Watch bands too?. I'm sure they will soon..

I mean you could rent with one device and watch on another. But you could only watch on that one device. You couldn't pause and pick up where you left off on another device without syncing first. This pretty much just moves it to the cloud.

I truly hope this fixes the iTunes backup connection issue. It's been months.

Bugs that last for months are nothing to Apple. I've had bugs that have been around for years now, and Apple does not seem to care because they are more focused on new stuff rather than fixing what's currently in use.

What a weird day for updates. I kind of expected something a bit more exciting. I was looking at Mac mini's today online and can't believe they are still selling 3-year old computers at full price. That's either a testament to the quality of the products, or an insult to consumers. I'm not willing to invest my hard-earned money into a device that is that outdated. 1 or 2 years, maybe, but 3 years at full price? No thanks.

Yes, that still happens as well. :)

Good Grief.....how hard is it for them to fix that? Sometimes I don't even think they care anymore....Looks like I will be staying on iTunes 12.4.3 all my artists have squares photos and more importantly all my artists have photos. I spent way too much time uploading all my artwork for them to take it away and replace it with bubbles/microphones that are multi colored blanks.

At this point, I fully expect that Mac hardware that is more than 2 years old that does not receive a mention of a refresh at the next keynote will be killed off. Selling hardware that is more than 2 years old for the same price it sold for for when it launched is not a consumer-friendly move and it will eventually do serious damage to Apple's computer business if they don't stop it.
