Is purchasing movies and tv shows on iTunes Store or Apple TV different?

when you purchase a movie from the iTunes Store or Apple TV, you’re essentially doing the same thing. Both platforms are part of Apple’s ecosystem and they integrate with each other. The differences mainly lie in the platforms’ individual interfaces and additional features.

1. iTunes Store: It is an app that comes pre-installed on all Apple devices. You can browse through and purchase movies (along with other media such as music, TV shows, and books) directly in the app. Once you’ve made a purchase, the movie will be available to watch in the Apple TV app under the “Library” tab, and it can be downloaded for offline viewing.
2. Apple TV App: This app serves as a hub for all your purchased iTunes content and subscriptions to various channels. When you purchase a movie in the Apple TV app, it’s just like buying it from the iTunes Store. The movie will be added to your library in the Apple TV app, and it can be accessed on any device where you’re signed in with your Apple ID.

In summary, whether you purchase a movie from the iTunes Store or Apple TV, the movie will end up in your Apple TV app library.
