F1: The Movie Rolling Out for Purchase From Apple TV App

[MallardDuck]

So begins the two weeks of spamming with ads to buy it.

Not free for Apple TV+ users? Damn

Ha, even Apple isn’t willing to put their own film on their streaming service yet. Need to see if they can milk some full purchases and rentals first.

That's how movie releases work 🙄🤦‍♂️

There is a release window for Cinema, for purchase, stream and then FTA. They would be stupid to not follow the release windows and capitalise on revenue. The aim of a business is to make money 💁‍♂️

It will be once the streaming window opens.

It will be probably 30-60 days

A lot of streaming services that have theatrical releases do this.

It's funny that Apple TV+ subscribers must buy an Apple TV+ movie. No discount, no special deal for subscribers. Full price just like everyone else.

Would've feel gutted if somehow it's included for TV+ stream sometime in the future.

Like the majority of the things that people say others MUST do, this is another one where they don’t have to. They can wait until it’s available for streaming like most everyone else. For those F1 fans that want it now, yes, they have to pay if they want it now. But fans of anything don’t care much about price in the first place.

If it's anything like Apple's previous films, F1 will be added to Apple TV+ in 2-3 months. So I will wait 2-3 months for my overpriced Apple TV+ subscription to get the title.

Its available worldwide since today if you know what i mean.

I was willing to rent it but not available in my country so... wake up Apple!

 

[Entilzha]

I just want it on 4k bluray.

I’m going to be waiting quite a while, sadly…at least I saw it in IMAX a few months ago!

Interesting that Apple TV + subscribers get no benefits here. Makes the new fees for Apple TV + even less acceptable. Such is life.

No surprise to me .. Apple views its own developers and customers as marks to be exploited.

 

[dominiongamma]

People still buy movies?

Yup loving watching my old shows and movies and not have to pay a subscription

 

[frownface]

I was expecting it to be free on Apple TV+. There is millions of other things I can do with my time so it doesn't bother me.

Considering that they just upped the price of ATV+; once they do release it, "free" might not really be free.

When I wanted to chill in a theater and watch a fun, stupid movie with my family, F1 was perfect.

Can’t imagine wanting to own it, though.
