So far, you can still buy movies via itunes Movies and also see whether movies are available in 4K. This is supposed to disappear with the new central app for movies, series and so on. But it's complete crap. Regardless of whether I have Paramount+ or Disney+ installed or not, movies that are available on it first refer to the streaming service. I can then buy the movie from Apple, but the page shows me the technical data of the streaming service. So often only HD, although the movie is available in 4K on itunes. So I have to look on cheapcharts to see what's available for me. I don't want to be referred to the streaming services. I want to switch it off, but I can't. I love my Apple Tv, but the interface is getting worse and worse. And I still can't sort my purchased movies. Does Apple actually read the wishes of users?

I’m confused on what you mean by that disappearing, unless you’re just talking about the iTunes Movies app going away? All of that data is still available on the Apple TV app. When it says Play, it refers to streaming service first (unless purchased), but I believe the data regarding resolution and Dolby Vision/Atmos availability is always referring to what is available for you to purchase.

We could also take that to another extreme with this example of Star Trek Strange New Worlds which shows as being 4KDV, yet neither iTunes/atv or Paramount+ in the UK even offer 4K at this current time.
