"WATCH ANYWHERE" - No Time To Die digital copy "ANYWHERE" ONLY on ... Apple devices

The jacket for my 4K collectors edition of No Time To Die shows a typical Apple half truth lie, as it claims

"DIGITAL CODE INCLUDED - STREAM OR DOWNLOAD TO

WATCH ANYWHERE"

Then the redemption slip says

"Instantly stream & download - TV Computer Tablet Smartphone"

....

that is IF ALL of those generic devices are ... you guessed it Apple devices. The only exception is Computer could possibly be a Windows OS. All the rest, are Apple devices.

Android devices - no way Jose.

Hello MGM and Universal (and Eon productions) - the vast majority of "Smartphones" running on this planet are ... ANDROID.

You just committed false and misleading advertising and have ****** off a LOT of your former loyal fans.

This is so very Apple esk slight of hand buy it, thinking great I get a digital copy I can watch as they say "anywhere", only to realize that Apple thinks so very highly of themselves that to them "Anywhere" must only be our own devices, what else in the world could there be but us?

You know, I worked for Microsoft for 12 years, and during that time a certain little competitor sued us claiming "Monopolistic" power. My oh my, how quickly the pigs are now running the farm, and now it's them who are abusing their monopolistic power, from the iConnect policies to little iron fisted punches like this stunt. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Oh, so IF one has Superman's or Commander Steve Austin's eye sight, one can make out a super small asterisk. Then warping into enlarge zoom vision, which I had to do after 2 takes on my digital camera and blow up the bottom of the jacket one can barely make out Apple's saving legal grace where it states that

"*Compatible only with certain Mac and PC computers, and certain video-enabled, portable media devices such as an iPhone, iPad, iPod or Apple TV. "

I challenge any of you to pick up the jacket and be able to read that text w/o a magnifying glass. I have 20/10 vision, and there is no way I can make out that 2 or 3 point font text.

Indeed. If you have an issue with the wording, packaging, etc. contact MGM. They are the ones who elected to offer a digital copy. As always, caveat emptor.

That's not an Apple issue. And the legal print at the bottom clearly explains that it's iTunes only. Take your issue up with MGM.

BTW, I had to heavily edit that picture to get it to look that legible.

MGM's issue? .... right. There are people at Apple that monitor, and approve ANY use of the Apple copyright usage of their logos, especially when they show up in a Bond production and release. But why should they speak up and suggest an edit to MGM when this obviously is the pure company line.
