Overview
- The tvOS 26.4 developer and public betas remove the standalone iTunes Movies and iTunes TV Shows apps, directing buying and playback to the Apple TV app.
- Existing iTunes movie and TV purchases remain available within the Apple TV app.
- Apple has notified customers that iTunes Wish Lists are being retired and provided links to migrate items to the Apple TV watchlist.
- The change extends a multi‑year consolidation of Apple’s media storefronts that began in 2023, while the iPhone still retains an iTunes Store option for music purchases.
- tvOS 26.4 also introduces audio setting updates that swap the Dolby Atmos label for Spatial Audio and adds a Continuous Audio Connection option over HDMI, with a public release planned for spring.
