Apple TV to 4k Apple TV

Hey everyone thinking about upgrading tv and Apple TV to 4k. My question is will my content update to 4k automatically or will I have to repurchase everything in 4k? Thank you.

Apple TV HD, tvOS 13

For content in the iTunes Store that is available in 4K, you should be able to access that 4K version if you bought the HD version or better. The 4K access is not available for SD purchases. The 4K access is not available for HD purchases from a reciprocal service. Downloaded copies of movies from the iTunes Store will be in HD, not 4K. 4K is streaming-only.


Basically, in the iTunes Store, the HD and 4K version are the same item for purchase, and you don’t have to re-purchase titles (you can’t even).
