Is payment required for movies on Apple TV?

Yes, payment is often required for movies on Apple TV. Although Apple TV as a platform provides access to various streaming services and channels, many of which offer free content with advertisements or as part of a subscription, individual movies are typically available as either rentals or purchases. This means viewers must pay a one-time fee to rent a movie for a limited viewing period or buy it to have it available in their library indefinitely. In addition, Apple TV+ is Apple's own subscription service offering original content, where subscribers can watch original series and films without additional purchase; however, this service requires a monthly or annual subscription fee.
