As we speak’s replace fully disables the iTunes Film Trailers app. After updating, the app merely exhibits a splash display that claims: “Apple TV app is the brand new house of iTunes Films Trailers.” There’s a blue “Open” button that takes you to the TV app the place you’ll be able to “hold watching trailers.”
Tapping on that “Open” button takes you on to the “Film and TV Trailers” part of the TV app. In the event you’re ranging from scratch, you’ll be able to entry the brand new trailers part of the TV app by going to the “Retailer” tab of the app and scrolling down till you see the “Watch the Newest Trailers” header.
The iTunes Film Trailers app was first launched in 2011 and gave customers a devoted strategy to watch trailers for upcoming movies. The draw back to this modification, along with the truth that the brand new trailers interface is buried within the TV app, is that you simply lose the entire filtering, sorting, and chart information that made the devoted app distinctive.
As an alternative, the brand new interface within the TV app is solely a tiled grid of various trailers, together with a “Now Out there to Pre-Order” part.
Apple has additionally discontinued the devoted web site for iTunes Film Trailers – together with its traditional iTunes-era design. Visiting the previous trailers.apple.com URL now redirects you to the television.apple.com web site.
I perceive that Apple felt the necessity to transfer on from the decade-old iTunes Film Trailers app, however the present implementation into the TV app leaves quite a bit to be desired. I suppose the identical factor might be mentioned for lots of the junk Apple has shoved into the TV app through the years.
