22.03.2009 - Apple: su iTunes Store sono disponibili anche film in HD

Con il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, Apple ha annunciato che gli utenti dell'iTunes Store possono ora acquistare o noleggiare filmati in High Definition. A seguito del download sul proprio Mac o PC, i film, tra cui "Quantum of Solace" e "Twilight", possono essere riprodotti in alta definizione.

Il costo del noleggio dei film presso ITunes è pari a $2.99 per i titoli classici e $3.99 per i nuovi arrivi; richiedere, se e quando sono disponibili, le versioni HD costerà agli utenti un ulteriore dollaro US.

Quella di Apple è senza dubbio una iniziativa di una certa rilevanza nell'ottica della diffusione della tecnologia e dei prodotti HD; si tratta ad ogni modo di un "primo passo" nella misura in cui la disponibilità dei film in HD su ITunes è ancora molto limitata ed inoltre quelli disponibili supportano la risoluzione di 720p e non 1080p (Full HD).
