iTunes Movies
Here, you can rent and buy movies from Apple's iTunes Store, as well as access your library
of purchased movies. Rentals cost between $4 and $5 and are available for 30 days, but ex-
pire 24 hours after you start watching. Not every title is available to rent. Movie purchases
typically cost between $10 and $20, and can be streamed or downloaded to your iOS device
or to iTunes on a Mac or Windows computer.
Apple frequently has themed movie sales, in which you can purchase movies for $9.99 or
less. Be on the lookout for these, as they can be a great way to expand your collection. You
