On my phone it lets me download Apple TV+ content. The files are shockingly large compared to what Amazon Video downloads are. A 1 hr clip was maybe 800mb in prime, but a few gigabytes from apple. (I don’t have any on my phone atm, but a quick search is telling me episodes of “For all mankind” are ~4GB and an hour long) It looks noticeably better, a massive step up that is completely worth the extra bytes.
On my desktop I always rent stuff through iTunes just cause I can download it in advance, and don’t have to deal with buffering or reduced quality.

- xzel 6y agoThere is a setting in Prime Video to download the highest bitrate which is often around 4GB for a 2 hour movie, iirc. Totally agree with you on the download in advance rentals. With good enough internet it makes the experience of rentals so much more enjoyable.
