I am sure that would be up to the content providers - Apple can’t magically make videos HD if the source was not made that way.

If you mean it has to add access to ALL of the movies in the iTunes store for a $9.99/month subscription, I predict you'll look like your avatar- or worse- before that might happen.
If you mean maybe some "B"-movies that hardly anyone cares about anymore, that's a possibility but probably long shot given where pricing for just the music side is already priced (even B-movie owners are going to want something).
The "access everything in iTunes" for Netflix-like monthly pricing dream is extraordinarily likely a NEVER-gonna-happen dream. You might as well wish for the next iPhone, iPad and Mac to cost about $100 each (with no subsidies) too. I put the chances of both at about the same level.

That was my first thought — this might mean iOS 11.3 is imminent today. Can’t believe it didn’t even come up until page 2.
So excited!
Agreed, this was touted as an 11.3 feature of Apple music so it makes sense that 11.3 would drop today. It's already available for everyone who gets their new 2018 9.7" iPads today and tomorrow.
Netflix is better value together with Spotify. I did try Apple music, but it is just not good enough.

there are better values than Apple serves in their store. Spotify is 4.99,- Netflix 10,- iPads are cheap, they have promotion all the time. iPad for 199,- When you buy 6 month subscription for local newspaper. We have all this deals and nobody really cares about it. It is just a tool and hardware. I see problem in Software. iOS is buggy, OSX sucky, Apple music is Meh. I believe you should use streaming, but it should just work and yet in apple OS nothing works.
In my Library tab, I know have a "TV & Movies" section...is this new? Says all my purchased videos will appear here.
Of these hundreds of posts like this in the last 24 hours.....its just speculation. Please hang tight, be patient, and it will arrive when ready.......
Now back to the topic of Apple Music videos in IOS 11.3......
[doublepost=1522334666][/doublepost]
I have a few videos from Def Leppard that I got months ago from Apple Music....so yes videos did exist prior to this. But I don't believe they had a dedicated tab. You had to find the videos by yourself when searching artists...
Meh. Music videos were popular in the time of MTV, since that channel was more or less the only source for new music back then, which you could obviously listen to, other than radio. Music videos were just a bonus. It's nice that they've included them, but i really dont see anything special on it. They should add more functions in the app like overlaping music or something to make listening experience better.

Spotify loses money at $4.99. Apple will not opt to lose money like that.
Netflix loses money at $10. Apple will not opt to lose money like that.
Your post appeared to want up to everything in the iTunes video store for $9.99/month. Apple will want to pay the owners what they will want for such a service AND make the Apple margin right off the top. My joke about being long dead and decayed by that point reflects the idea that Apple won't opt to lose money like those other players. Some hypothetical all-access iTunes store subscription is going to get Apple it's fat margin right off the top and then cover the costs of what the owners of all that wants to offer such a package through Apple. That's almost certainly not a $9.99 service that also includes Apple Music too.
There's a whole 80's Essentials section in the Music Videos...this is bigger than just adding a few new videos. Seems like they are adding a whole archive of Music Videos (perhaps to take on YouTube?).
You must be the last person on planet earth who isn't using some adblocker then.
I haven't seen ads on Youtube in years (aside from their iOS app).
8.25/mo if you buy an annual subscription. If you can score one of those $100 iTunes/App Store gift cards for $85 deals, you’ll be paying around $7/mo. Totally worth it IMO.
They are if the original file/video they have is HD or Full HD. So "old" videos are SD.
I'll take that as a compliment!Ha! I just commented about them going to crap in my post before you.great minds...!
