Apple on Thursday updated its iTunes Movie Trailers app for the iPhone and it now simply shows a notice that the “Apple TV app is the new home of iTunes Movie trailers.” The iTunes Movie Trailers app, which launched in 2011, can no longer play trailers.
If you attempt to visit the iTunes Movie Trailers website you will be whisked to the Apple TV app, where there is now a “Watch the Latest Trailers” section in the Store tab.
The iTunes Movie Trailers app hadn’t been updated in five years, indicating that Apple has been planning to make this move for quite a while now. The app first launched on the iOS platform in October 2011 in the United States.
