Why no iTunes movie rentals for older iPod models
0 Comments Published January 29th, 2008 in Apple, VideoJobs has said for years that renting movies makes sense whereas renting music doesn’t. So when it came time to launch a movie rental service, Apple had to start including secure digital clocks in the latest round of devices. Connected devices like the iPhone have other ways of checking content permissions, but in order for such a service to work with the rest of the iPod line would require something resembling Microsoft’s solution, unless there’s something I’m missing (granted, I’m a tech journalist, not an engineer).
This explanation is a good as any I’ve heard.
