This is great news, do you think we will get full 4K and HDR support as with the Apple TV box or is it likely to be a ‘lite’ version? Also, Apple are really pushing Dolby Vision on their titles so could Samsung finally concede and support that format or are we stuck with HDR10?

This week's extraordinary deal on films, a whole batch of recent titles, including 2018 Oscar winners are only £2.99 in all formats, leads me to believe that Apple are on the verge of launching the long mooted Film (and possibly TV) subscription service at WWDC19 in the spring. There really can't be any other reason to discount 'Darkest Hour'. 'Three Billboards', 'Baby Driver' and 'Shape of Water' etc. so heavily.

I noticed the same thing... Films that were only out in the cinema a few months ago discounted to just £2.99 in 4K. I bought quite a few but may live to regret it if the streaming service does take off as it will have been a waste. Is the rumoured service likely to be open access to their entire film and TV library for a monthly subscription or will it only be select titles a la Netflix and Amazon Prime?
JA
Seems to be a few more providers doing the same. https://www.megamovieweek.co.uk

Thanks for this, I've heard suggestions that this promotion now set up will repeat on an irregular basis in the coming months. We'll see.
