Apple TV+ often streams popular films free for Apple TV+ subscribers for a limited time, but never before have we seen so many Oscar-winning and nominated movies made available. What’s more, many of the films are featured in 4K resolution with Dolby Vision (a select few in HDR10+) and Dolby Atmos audio. Here’s a breakdown of the films you check out before leaving at the end of March and April 2024.
